Gf is petulant sometimes and tends to let minor things blow out

She's a child. She might grow out of it after getting dicked by a couple of bad boys. You'd best move on and find a new girlfriend if you don't want to be a babysitter for your whole life.

Even a parent cannot fix his/her child. You will never be able to fix your gf's attitude. Either you learn to accept her for who she is or you call it quits. Simple.

Lemeow, yeah id rather not break up with her over this cus everything else is pretty alright, and I'm not really a relationship kinda guy anyway so the fact that I've been in this one for a year and still seems like a rare thing for me.

idk bout you mate but my parents were pretty successful in correcting some of my negative behaviors, maybe I should ask them

*and still like it

It is important to address these issues as they come up. Talking hours after a behavior arises is often not enough. When you feel an argument arising, break the pattern of behavior and question why you or her is feeling this way.

Many times, "minor arguments" are symptomatic of a bigger problem. For example, an argument breaks out because you didnt call and see if she wanted McDonalds, its possible she feels like you are neglecting her in general. Make sure to probe for larger problems and, importantly, listen.

Has the McDonald's incident actually happened to you mate? Cus that's asinine

This anon is right. The argueing is not actually about those minor things. You two have communication problems and there are things that bother her that she doesn't tell you. Most likely she isn't even aware herself. The nagging and blowing things out of proportion are just symptoms of a deeper problem. Also, yoi can't tell someone to not act on his emotions. That will never work. In the heat of the moment, she feels like she has every right to be upset. She doesn't feel like she's being unreasonable at all. She's also mot a "child that needs behavioral correction"... Besides the fact that this is a very disrespectfull statement, kids that need "behavioral correction" also ALWAYS have larger underlying issues.
