Hello. I'm just wondering what it is called when someone, specifically in this case a romantic partner, very commonly apologizes for trivial, unnecessary (quite blunt/frankly stupid and/or petty) things, like looking at you the wrong way, or accidentally touching you, or asking you to do the simplest tiniest little favors.

I feel like it's kind of manipulative, or I don't know if that would be considered a guilt trip of any kind, and like they're trying to make it seem like you're a bad, mean person, because (they think) you have a problem and are upset by them just looking at or touching you, or asking you to reach over 2 feet to grab and hand them their drink on the table or something.

Those are just the few examples I can think of, so hopefully they give the idea that I'm trying to illustrate and what I mean.
