Yes, do keep in mind that this is a very stressful time in our lives, for everyone. Being around one another 24/7 is HARD...... it can cause extra strain on a relationship that otherwise is not present.

Since you get triggered by the fights, I must ask: is your girlfriend domineering or abusive in any way?
