I [25M] can hardly say anything to my gf [25F]

I’ve been with my girlfriend for around 3 years. We had been friends for years prior to us actually getting together. Shes a very insecure person and I knew that going into the relationship and always did my best at trying to help her feel better about herself.

Our relationship started out really well, then after a little over a year we were having issues but those were resolved temporarily. Now it would appear that a semi-similar thing is happening again except its worse this time.

I feel like i can hardly say anything to her if it involves me not completely agreeing with her on something. She’s always convinced that shes 100% in the right about everything and can never be wrong. Even if it can literally be proven that shes wrong she’ll just say “well I don’t agree” and interprets me disagreeing as an attack at her and results in a fight.

But it’s happening in all aspects where like I may have a different opinion on a celebrity or some modern event and she like takes it personally, its seriously odd and I don’t know how to bring it up with her without it resulting in another fight.

It’s almost as if she’s been looking for anything and everything to fight about and it’s been so mentally draining the past few months. I’m unsure if it’s time to call this relationship a quits or not. I do love this girl but I don’t know if how things are going right now is sustainable. It’s also tough because we have a lot of the same friends so I feel like if I end the relationship I’d lose a lot of friends also because I know she’d make me out to be the bad guy when telling everyone what happened (hypothetically).

I’m just really lost right now and I’m unsure of how to move forward. Does anyone have any advice for me?

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years, and we were friends for years prior to us getting together. Initially the relationship was going well then there was a little tiff about a year ago where we had taken a short break, but we figured it out.

But as of the last few months we’ve been fighting a lot more. And it’s mostly about stupid stuff that doesn’t matter, but she just consistently thinks I’m always attacking her when I simply just disagree with something. It’s almost like I can’t speak my mind because if I disagree with her it’s a problem. I would go into specifics but she may be a part of this sub and I don’t want to get exposed.

I love her but it’s also just starting to feel like this is unsustainable long term. Which really sucks because we have all the same problems so obviously if this were to not work out that would be an issue I’m sure. I just don’t know what to do so I’m taking to here to get some advice. What do you think?
