Do not go apologetic on her a$$ which you partially already have done. She was 100% in on the no condom thing so why should you take crap as if you somehow schemed to do it this way.
She's not making it out to be as if I schemed it, maybe she thought I did at first, but a minute later she remembered she saw me take it off.
The issue is that she just kinda freaked that she let herself get in this situation and I'm assuming got scared. She was just so uncomfortable mentally that she had unprotected sex again. Like she was chill laying down next to me after she showered, but she was in her head. (I should probably mention that she was sexually abused by a family member when she was like 10 and maybe her history made her way more sensitive to this kinda stuff? I'm not really sure, I have no experience with a girl who has gone through that. It's the only thing that helps me make sense of why she felt so bad that she needed to leave).
"I can't stay, my mind is just going to be somewhere else for the rest of the day and I'm not going to enjoy the movie." (We were gonna do movie night after sex). Her English isn't perfect and I don't know what to make of that. Maybe she's just really paranoid.
Anyway, I wasn't too bad, but I realised I could have been more chill in that situation. I have a tendency to make everything a bigger deal than it is and tend to be a negative person and blame myself for everything. But after she left I realised I was just being stupid and did nothing wrong. I'm going to message her Sunday, be light, invite her out, not even going to mention the event unless she's unresponsive for 24 hours.

Why is she "on the pill" if she never has unprotected sex?
I questioned that too, but I remembered my ex, who I was with for two and a half years, was on the pill and still insisted on condoms for max protection against pregnancy. (I used to have a semi-death grip when I jerked off so back then condoms and natural felt the same to me so I was cool with it).

The way you're behaving and responding to her is only validating the pettiness in her reactions.
You should be standing firm on the idea that you regularly get tested, so does she, and she is on birth control. That should be your ground when she gets emotional and starts over reacting. When you feed into it by saying things like " I promise we'll never do it again" you only serve to fuel the way she feels and create more regret. It's really not a big deal so long as you're both clean and protected from pregnancy.
Excellent, excellent words. I realised this about an hour after she left. (Again, like I said to SGC, I tend to make things a big deal and blame myself for stuff. Fortunately, I'm getting out of that useless habit slowly.)
It'll be my ground if anything negative happens Sunday when I message her. Maybe its too late, but whatever the result, its a valuable lesson.
I appreciate the comments, guys. This forum is something else.
