Ok, so my girlfriend has been bugging me to open up to her a little bit more. Over the past week or two I've complied a little, letting her in on my inner dialog a little bit. Today she was browsing my laptop and come across a collection of text files that I've written when I feel preticually strongly about something. A lot of these are from a time when I was desparate to find a girl and the such and a little bit sappy. She wants to see them, should I let her? I will of course go through them first and remove anything about her or anyone else specifically and get rid of anything that is too weird/sappy.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
