i love my girlfriend, when we're together life is good, im sure of everything
when we part even for a few hours my self doubt comes out
i know she loves me, she just doesnt show much emotion because she had a really traumatic experience a few years ago
see the problem is shes very direct about the thigns she says
so when you drive erratically she yells at you and says to slow the fuck down
she acts annoyed but shes just really concerned
how do i distinguish between concerned and annoyed on that basic level?
how do i judge sincere fear from mock?
how do i prove my love for her without coming out cheesey?
how do i gain complete trust from someone when i dont trust myself?
so many questions
someone attempt to answer at least one
Ok relax a bit, She won't really change the way she shows emotions at least not for a long time so you will have to get used to that its not easy but can be done. The more you know her the more you'll be able to tell but the easiest way is watch her reactions her body language what she does that is the best way to tell what she is actually feeling. In my opinion sometimes cheesy is nice if you can make her laugh not so bad. As for the trust issues that will take time trust is not given its earned just give it time listen to her listen to your self and it should be ok.
So you have known her all your life that's a good start you should have a bit more footing in understanding what makes her tick then say a guy she just met and started dating use some of that knowledge it will help. But yes I know its difficult changing feelings for someone. But really she and you are still the same as you always have been just a different level of a connection she is still your friend you have known all your life and you are the same for her, Your partner should be your friend first that's where all things start really.
How long have you been in this type of relationship?
But yes I know reading her as a partner is something a bit different then just as a friend but I think with time and communication everything will be fine. Just remember to talk things out anything that bothers or worries you the same for her if she is able. As long as your both comfortable talking about such things don't force one to do something the other isn't ready for,understand?
Ok so its still a bit new for you both in that respect but that's ok. You don't like having her be able to read you like a book I take it then? Yes its very difficult for her to express them she is still hurting I'm sure from her brothers passing and she is scared of getting hurt again so she keeps people at a distance. Yes it does make sense and with more time you'll be able to tell better what are her true feelings.
