S&P Global

My girlfriend won’t tell me why she’s upset when she is, nor that she is upset in the first place despite it being plain as day. Then, I point out to her she doesn’t like telling me what’s wrong and she’s clearly upset and then she acts like I don’t trust her despite her having admitted long ago she likes to stew on things secretly. What kind of logic is that. It’s driving me insane.

A question for the guys: was this a date?! Ran into a guy I knew in college at a bar, he technically asked me out (“we should get drinks sometime” etc), then paid for my drink.
