So my girlfriend and I have been dating for 7 months (we are both late 20s), and things have been going good! This issue however has been our first argument so to speak.

So the past month or so we’ve been getting serious, and talking about moving in together. Not sure if this was the catalyst for this behavior but I digress.

So I notice if we are out places, my girlfriend will tell little white lies to strangers and such. For instance, we were out walking my dog, and a couple asked if they could pet him, we said yes and that led to them asking how old he was and if he was a shelter dog blah blah blah.

Before I could even pipe up, my girlfriend steps in and goes, oh well we got him several years ago and he’s just been the best dog to cuddle with over the years and my life wouldn’t be the same if we hadn’t adopted him.

Another example. We went to a restaurant that I enjoy going to, and struck up a conversation with a new bartender, and she said that this place was our date night place for several years.

So they are lies. I mean not a huge deal, as they aren’t hurting anyone, but for some reason this just irks me to know end. So I asked her why she felt the need to do this because it bugged me a bit.

She said it wasn’t a big deal, that she just wanted to feel included in my previous life. And that even though my ex and I adopted my dog together, it’s her dog now, and telling strangers this makes her feel better??

I was nice but please asked her to not do that anymore as it makes me uncomfortable.

She agreed to stop but said I was blowing it out of proportion and being an asshole over something small and has been pouty all day.

AITA?
