for context: I have been living in Japan for over 3 years and gf is born Japanese and I’m German.
My (M27) girlfriend (F27) gets super upset whenever she doesn’t get her way.
I recently quit my job at a care facility for disabled due to the stress making my life miserable.
I already have a new job and will start on the 1st of September, did that on purpose to have 1 month+ to just relax.
Recently, we haven’t had much sex but still got intimate by cuddling and kissing and just talking with each other, I was and still am pretty stressed out and tired all the time so I don’t have the energy for the physical commitment sex is.
I also always tell her I love her and say goodbye when either she or myself would eave for work but whenever she gets upset she just ignores me even after a a night of sleep.
Now the other issue besides the sex is that she constantly does want me to go with her to her workplace now that I’m technically jobless for a month, she works at her mother’s company, her mother runs a cafe/day service for elderly people so it’s not as strict of an environment, although still pretty busy.
It hasn’t even been a week since I quit my job and as mentioned my next job has already been decided yet she regularly bugs to go with her and help them and if she doesn’t get her way she also gets upset in the same way as when I decline sex.
All that and the regular arguments about us not having enough sex just stress me even more, I’m prone to anxiety as well which she knows but unfortunately doesn’t seem to respect.
She also doesn’t let me play my games in peace, it’s always a very aggressive “well then go and play” I have made an effort to not play when she is home but on weekends I can play and talk with my European friends at night and she always sounds really upset when I tell her I will go talk with them when they are available.
I love her, I can imagine myself staying with her forever and I tell her that every time an argument comes up.
I’m lost, how do the women of this sub handle their SO decline sex and do you see her request of me accompanying her to her job as reasonable?
TL;DR gf ignores me and gets super upset about us not having sex and when I don’t do as she requests.

If you both agree that these communication patterns are making both of you miserable, it seems to me that you all might benefit from couple’s counseling.
