Someone else said this too, and I do agree with this.

She doesn't sound insecure, she sounds controlling. And it seems like she's using the 'insecurity card' as a cover.

Perhaps the OP should have checked with her before booking the trip... But it seems unclear whether she knew about the trip prior to finding out the date for the wedding. Did she know the trip date, find out the wedding date, and then expect the OP to rearrange plans even though they came first?

She acts like someone who always gets her way, and it's throwing her off that that's not the case anymore.

There's nothing wrong with having structure and a regimented schedule.

A distinct possibility ...

I agree, but being part of a couple requires some flexibility.

Stop apologizing so much whenever she gets into a snit. It makes her look like she's right.
She's not.

Your girlfriend is a PA? Way too immature and way too much drama - I can't believe she does what she does. After 5 months she is way too enmeshed with you. I would not have asked her permission about the concert but would have let her know what I was planning. And no, you don't have to go to every friend's wedding with her - only 2 weeks notice - she knew about it at minimum 4 weeks before and probably months with a "save the date" announcement so no excuse. Sounds like she made a big assumption you'd automatically go with her.

Some people do get better, not worse.

She does sound very immature, and her dating history combined with the fact that she lives at home still could support that. But they may just be at two different places in life, and he may not have the patience to stick with her while she finishes growing up.

I agree that he didn't need to ask permission to go on the trip, but that's very different from just letting the person you've been dating for a few months that you are planning it.

They both have deficiencies they could work on, but I'm not sure the OP really wants to.

Her fit-throwing has to stop, though. If she had any experience living with roommates, she'd probably do that a lot less. LOL
