So about six months ago, due to unrelated circumstances, my gf wound up having no choice but to move in with me. Surprisingly, everything has been going well (I have never lived with an SO, especially after such a short period of time), we're not at each other's throats at all and we actually enjoy having each other around.

------

Recently though, there has been some trouble. For the last month or so, she's been increasingly emotional and agitated (she's always been on the emotional side). She'd start yelling at me for texting someone back right away because I didn't text her back earlier (even though the reason I didn't text her back was because I was on my way home and I talked with her in person when I got there). Everything has just been incredibly uncomfortably dramatic lately and it's draining.

-------

Yesterday we went to a highschool friend's halloween party and she wound up yelling at me, scratching me, and hiding in the bathroom all night because she had a delusion that I was flirting with another girl. It was super embarrassing because my GF doesn't know my friends from home very well, and they knew I wasn't flirting with anyone, so they just think she's nuts and they're surprised that I allow that kind of drama in my relationships.

------

It was a little overwhelming and I suggested that maybe we should take a break from spending every second with each other so that we can come back with more of an appreciation for each other. She said she thought that she didn't like that idea.

---

She's just been impulsive, delusional, and possibly abusive lately. She's also been crying a lot, she's threatened a breakup twice in the last month, and I'm becoming drained emotionally.

---

She also always wants to talk about our problems, but she expects these conversations to be basically 2 or more hours of rehashing the same things again and again, over analyzing and criticizing every word, and in general putting down me, herself, and our relationship.
