My girlfriend has called it a day with me after I asked her to stop wasting food | The Sun

DEAR DEIDRE: I THOUGHT I would marry my girlfriend but after five years, she ended our relationship out of the blue.

We are both 31. I thought we had a great relationship, a good sex life and was excited about our future.

She’s volatile but she has a stressful job. Normally when she gets wound up, she goes for a run and calms down.

Last week, we started arguing about some food which had gone off in the fridge.

I hate waste so I told her to stop buying so much. She went mad.

She started saying she “can’t do this” and said “I told you what my expectations were”. She packed her bag and left there and then.

A couple of days later, when I told her I missed her, she sent me emojis with big eyes, meaning she wants my forgiveness.

Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.

DEIDRE SAYS: Her reaction was an extreme one to a fairly normal argument.

Before you rekindle any relationship, ask her if she has other concerns about your relationship and discuss yours also.

And please carefully consider her “expectations” and ask yourself if she is being realistic.
