Young adult relationship

I am 21 and so is my current girlfriend, we have been together for over a year and after maybe 6 to 8 months, things started getting hard. I arrive to her place late after the time we had scheduled to meet, I don’t keep my promises, i weaponise my feelings . I don’t do any of these things on purpose. When she addressed the time thing I started actively working on it as well as the promises but I slipped up and she brought it up. I was hurt by her using swear words to describe how she felt about the situation and it really hurt me because I am very sensitive. I decided to take a short break by not answering texts for the weekend. To try and man up about it

I don't think the words man up are very helpful to use.

There is nothing wrong with being sensitive.

 But you have to take accountability for your actions and words, you cannot weaponise someone's feelings, show up late or disrespect them .

You need to apologise.

And communicate and see if you both want this relationship to continue on, but it needs to be respectful, kind, and honest and both people have to put in the same energy 💜💕
