Hi alipra.
Just wish to point out that there may be lots of reasons why your gf may sound flat, "off", and such. If she's been battling the emotional re-connect attempts of the EX-jerk, she's very likely emotionally exhausted. When someone from one's past carries as much mental & memory context as this cat does for her, and then they start campaigning to re-access their former partner, it gets very very high-stress. Been there, done that, freaked the f$%k out.... It's disorienting, distressing, and SO draining.
Just a heads-up: She may come home emotionally flat-lined and exhausted beyond belief.
Stay strong.
Best,
Chyia, having a brief mini-flashback yikes arrgh damn
