If that were true I wouldn't think pre-nups should exist.

She says let's break up when I try and talk to her, two times, and refuses to see that I don't really have a choice. My brother wouldn't allow me to go for less time, and if I canceled the trip, he would blame my GF for it and never forgive her- not a good start since I was planning on marrying her. So, yeah. ****. What the ****.

A GF/BF should NEVER use breaking up as an ultimatum or leverage in a fight. That's an instant deal-breaker for me, it shows how little she values the relationship, especially with such an immature argument, I mean we are talking about less than a week here.

Eason, I had a gf that would do much the same thing. If I couldn't see her on a weekend she'd freak out and make life a fcking misery. Thing is, if she makes a threat and you back down, you can bet your arse she will use it again. Tell her you need some time to yourself to think, go on your holiday, have a great time and speak to her when you get back mate.

Ok she's pretty much resigned to the fact that I'm leaving regardless of what she says, but she isn't any happier about it and is still swinging from resignation to suddenly bitching and arguments. But now she's complaining that she can't feel I love her and she feels empty... all because I rejected her offer to stay there for 5 days. Yaaaaaaaaawn. edit: okay I was able to communicate that I understand that she is angry and annoyed that she can't go with me, and that I would also be angry and annoyed in her situation- but she seems to think that this means I just have to stand with her being annoyed and angry all the time until I get back.

Your girlfriend is being completely unreasonable, but I think everyone else has already said that. She should say she is sorry she wasn't able to go, but you should go see your brother and have fun. It isn't fair of her to take that away from you.

Maybe she could go if you invite SoCal and get him to pick up the whole trip. I am not sure where she would sleep though; SoCal would probably get her an adjoining room. There might be some strings attached to such an arrangement, but they would effect you more than your girlfriend. She might want to wear ear plugs.

Situation resolved! She finally came to terms with the fact she was being crazy and unreasonable due to many factors.
