OP again, oof, another minor argument today.
>Playing new co-op board game with girlfriend, and another friend, Jess, at Jess' flat.
>Board game is based off video game all of us have played.
>Girlfriend has skimmed the rulebook
>Girlfriend tries to claim there's a (detrimental) rule in the book where resources vanish periodically, as this happens in the video game.
>I say "Oh, no - the rulebook explicitly states this does not happen" (which it does very clearly, I say this in the kindest tone possible, without sounding patronising).
>Girlfriend skims through rulebook, insists the rules say it does happen.
>I offer to show her where in the rulebook
>She ignores me, keeps going through rules
>A few minutes pass. I reiterate I can show her where it says this rule doesn't exist.
>Jess awkwardly looks on, recognises that my girlfriend is being oddly stubborn and passes me occasional half-smile, half-shrug glances every time my offers to help are met with stubborn silence
>Gf insists this detrimental rule applies, keeps looking
>After about 5 minutes of us sitting in essentially silence, gf finally huffs and passes the rules to me
>I find the rule instantly, point out the page, read it out "Resources do not vanish periodically" or whatever.
>Girlfriend takes rulebook back, demands to see where it is, not believing me.
>I point it out again
>Girlfriend looks at me as though she wants to kill me
>We leave shortly after as it's past midnight and we all have work tomorrow
>Girlfriend refuses to talk to me on the 20 minute walk home, walks on opposite side of the street
We're now back home, she's just taken a piece of paper and pen upstairs, almost certainly to write me a letter. No doubt this letter will say "You upset me tonight. I'm questioning whether we should be together."
This is all so tiresome. If she threatens or alludes to breaking up in this letter, I'm going to take the easy out.

Fucked up by procrastinating and gave 3 weeks to conclude my thesis, but I failed last semester and had to revise a lost of stuff this one. I'm mega depressed and can barely get out of bed too, even to make progress. Can I get this done, and how do I change my mentality?
