Today, I have accepted that if I try to spend time with my girlfriend, she will come up with any excuse to avoid me, but when I want to do something by myself, she will be at my elbow every ten seconds, loudly whining that she wants to spend time together and that I'm mean. Talking has yet to fix anything. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend and I agreed to weekly talks about anything that is bothering us, since we’ve been arguing a lot lately. So far, every talk has been her moaning at me about how I annoy her, yet when I try to have my say, she interrupts or yells at me for blaming her for our problems. FML
Today, I have tried so many times to do romantic gestures for my girlfriend, but each time she tells me to stop being silly or to just act normal or to stop annoying her. I guess we’ll just sit on the sofa on our phones ignoring each other then. FML
Today, I wanted to spend some time with my girl, but she was more interested in her phone and 90 Day Fiancé. Bored, I went to play video games. Ten minutes later, she came looking for me and yelled that I clearly prefer video games to her. FML
Today, my girlfriend cried that I'm never available for her when she has a difficult time. I do everything I can to be available for her, but I draw the line at spending 30+ minutes at work listening to her cry over the phone. FML
Today, all I wanted was to spend some time with my husband, since we're always very busy. He couldn't be bothered to put down his video game. Guess I'm forever alone, even in a relationship. FML
Today, I voiced my unhappiness to my girlfriend, as I wanted to go to a class before we met her friends this weekend, and she said she hated back-to-back events. It was unfair as she often planned her work before our dates, and ended up being late. She became paggro, all because I want to learn a new skill. FML
Today, my girlfriend berated me for my "lack of communication skills", all while deeply engrossed with something on her phone. FML
Today, my wife is mad at me because she claims I don’t spend any time bonding with her son. It’s as though she refuses to understand that just because we are in different rooms, on separate PlayStations, doesn’t mean we’re not playing the same game, and talking through headphones for hours at a time. FML
Today, in the middle of one of the worst migraines of the year, I asked my wife if she could kindly stop trying to tell me about the latest neighbourhood gossip at 130 decibels. Cue her loudly nagging in my ear about how I’m mean for not wanting to spend time with her anymore. FML
Today, my clingy girlfriend refused to leave me alone long enough for me to read an article about dealing with clingy girlfriends. FML

She sounds incredibly immature emotionally.

When you want to be with her, pretend you want to be alone. When you want to be alone, pretend you want to be with her. I'm sorry you couldn't solve that puzzle on your own. Be glad you have access to genius on this site!

I had a cat that sometimes was like that… It’s probably a problem on both sides. We tend to remember when we were the one wanting attention but didn’t get it and forget the times we got attention but didn’t respond because it wasn’t when we wanted it… I would say that the best approach would be to sit down and calmly discuss the situation and each other’s perspective. Ideally the couple can figure out how to come to a compromise. If that doesn’t work there are three options: … (1) Couples counseling, maybe an independent person can help them sort out how to resolve such issues. (2) Just accept that partner is like that and either accept it or… (3) Break up if the issues cannot be resolved and you cannot live with it…. In truth all couples and families have disagreements, unmatched expectations, and annoyances. Part of becoming a couple or a family is learning how to resolve differences. It rarely helps to draw a hard line in the sand and say “it’s my way or the highway” because ultimately every couple and family deals with disagreements. If you cannot solve relatively minor problems like this, you will never survive it when big problems hit.

Run. Just run.

reverse psychology... pretend like you want to be alone when you really want to be with her.

That's going to get really exhausting and mentally taxing after a while though, always having to pretend =/ If that's how the relationship's going to be, I'd say seek professional help for them, and even perhaps split up if that doesn't help.
