I've been waiting four years for my girl to move in with me, and when I got excited about her getting a new job that would send her here, she got upset that I told someone about it before she accepted the job. I've been thinking all day and wanted to share what’s on my mind.

I have a question about this episode 1059: Putting Predator on Blast for His Abusive Past | Feedback Friday and this Navigating Trust Issues: Why do I feel anxious when talking to my partner?

I feel as if I’m being manipulated or basing her actions on how she was at the beginning of our relationship when she was warm and inviting. It seems like she’s gotten colder as we've gotten to know each other. How do I navigate this situation?
