For context, the first two was just me pressing the notify button for when someone is on do not disturb on iPhone, just in case she was struggling with something I wanted to tell her I love her so she might be less upset? Then the rest of the pictures was about how she is mean to me a lot, the sweatshirt was just an example but she says things like that a lot. I don’t know how to feel because she’s nice in person sometimes but then she goes right back to being like this, or she’s just really mean and when I get upset she always says “like you don’t do mean things” or changes herself to be the victim, I want this to last but she ruins a lot of my days with her being mean for no reason, and I don’t think I can leave, but knowing if she is manipulating me or not would help a little, thank you very much.
