AM I wrong?
Hey guys I’m an make this short and simple. So I been unemployed for like 6 months I finally found a job I and I been working there all week. During my unemployment me and my girlfriend was together every day. Now since I’m working it makes me miss her a lot since I’m not hanging with her like I use to. So yesterday she text me about an hour after and said are you off yet. I got off I liked that because I thought she really missed me. So today I got off at 530 and I was really looking forward to having a text on my phone saying are you off yet or something. That didn’t happen so I called her and I was like why didn’t you text me to see if I was off. And becuase she even knew why I asked she got all mad and hung the phone up within 22 seconds of talking. I tried to call her back and she didn’t answers. When I got home she was like stop with your kid crap I’m not going to be checking up on a grown man. And I’m like woah I just wanted you to miss me like I missed you and she start saying F me and I’m stupid I feel pretty bad did I screw up.

I think you both need to grow up. It was silly of you to expect a text like that every day, and wrong of you to call her to basically demand an explanation. And then she overreacted too by making this about 'checking up on a grown man'.
I really have to disagree with the other answer. Of course little romantic gestures are important. But a routine of daily 'miss you' texts doesn't sound like romantic gestures to me. It's not cold hearted to not make a habit of sending the same kind of text day after day. Especially if you make it into an obligation by calling and asking why you didn't get your text.

You didn't screw up and you're not wrong, IMO. Little things like that have nothing to do with "checking up on a grown man". People like to know they're loved and that someone actually cares about them. The fact that you never even saw it as checking up on you proves that. Was she asking because she wanted or needed something from you that day? Because, unless it was urgent, that's kinda lame. Growing up in a relationship doesn't mean stopping all romantic gestures, or becoming so cold-hearted that thinking showing the one you love that you care and miss them is anything other than just that. It's about taking on new responsibilities together, experiencing and sharing life, all while keeping the magic between you alive. Roles reversed, she'd flip guaranteed.
Sounds like the one who needs to grow up is her. She needs to not take life so seriously and realize her so called 'grown up actions' could actually end up costing her your relationship. Trust me, you'll eventually get sick of it.
