Hey y'all! Quick question. My girlfriend is upset. Why? I'm not sure. But I know she is upset. Past few days, she is only answering my texts with few short words, nothing over a couple sentences. I ask her to meet and she seems to be avoiding me saying she's busy with work.

Made a break through again when I asked if we can meet. She asks why I want to, and I tell her because she is clearly upset and is not telling me why. I want to meet so we can talk it over. She responded by saying that I never asked her what was wrong.

Fair enough. I didn't. But we have had similar situations before where she is upset and I didn't pick up on hints and she gets even more upset. Every time we end up saying to each other to not drop hints and just explicitly say what is bothering the person.

So this time, I clearly know she is upset, and she's being very obvious about it. I think alright, we are both adults. Can you just tell me what made you upset instead of me having to ask? We both know you are upset, so just tell me what the matter is. Am I not thinking correctly? Do I have to ask every single time what the matter is? Can she not just tell me that this is what is upsetting her?

Thanks for your help!

TL;DR; : GF is obviously upset for unknown reason. She wants me to ask her "what's wrong?" instead of just telling me what is wrong herself. Even though it's obvious, should I still have asked her what's wrong or did I do the right thing by waiting for her to just tell me, which she hasn't.
