So my girl of 6 months tells me she is unsure of the relationship because I don't do those small things like show her affection. She compared me to her best friend's boyfriend who plans surprise birthday or promotion parties for her, she says she ends up questioning whether I care for her or not.

She also says that I am too specific with details and she doesn't want to hear academic details when she gets home (she only cares when it relates to business since she is in a business course and she wants me to teach her business).

I'm legitimately not sure if the first is a shit test or not. Is she trying to make me crumple into giving her more and more cash and tokens? I am deeply confused as to how pick up applies to this aspect of an LTR.

She also says she is unsure if I am the right one for her or not because I do do some things to show her I care but at other times I don't. Is this insecurity or shit test or something else altogether?

A lot of the time I tell her to do 'whatever floats her boat' and she finds this offensive. When I say it I am agreeing to disagree and give her free rein, but she seems to disike this.

I'm really confused with this entire relationship thing. I definitely dont want her to leave but between trying to maintain an apathetic frame (leave me if you want to) and my actual internal want to hold on I feel like I'm coming off as inconsistent. Help?

I think you should maybe look up what a shit test is.

This is a girl being a bitch.

What does being a bitch mean?

What are the relevant PUA concepts I can likely apply and wprk with in this case?

This wasn't code for anything. It means she's being a bitch.

You can decide whether to give in to her or not, and whether to stay with someone who doesn't give a shit about your opinions. She doesn't sound like a keeper to me, but to each his own.

Reward good behaviour and ignore bad. It sounds like she's pushing for validation, some girls just have to know that they are adored and push and push till you either crack and dump them or you turn into wonder wuss and put up with it. Dumping them will reinforce their belief that they're unworthy (which some actually like; sort of a "I knew it syndrome" ) but putting up with it will kill all the sexual attraction she has for you.

Best bet in your situation (If you want to keep her) is to draw some tight boundaries over what is acceptable and whats not and if she deviates boot her out. It sounds sexist but it's what women want deep down...well most of them anyway.
