Hope, I can almost always point to a very specific "thing" that started her destruction engine. I'm absolutely so f'ing tired of having to watch every little thing I say/do so I don't upset her and send her into another destructive cycle. I posted the exchange a few hours before we met up at the festival, nothing there. Only one thing comes to mind in the next short 45 minute interaction and it's so minimal.

She was coming back from a concession stand and just as she got next to me, my phone started to ring. I pulled it out of my pocket to look and she starts in with a unusual tone asking "Who is that, who's calling you?" I said: "It's some strange 888 number." and showed her the screen and playfully asked, "Look familiar to you?" she said it didn't, I said "Me either. I'm just going to ignore it, then." and put it back in my pocket.

About 15 minutes later, she's texting, again, and I, again playfully, said: "Who is it, huh, huh?" and just kind of laughed. She said nothing. and I didn't expect her to. I regretted saying it just because I know what a hair trigger she has these days.

If this^^^ is what set her off, good grief. This whole thing is a damn mess and she's acting like a 3 year old.

The texting after she dropped the dating bomb got stupid for a second before I came to my senses and went dark. I'm still at a "family" festival for Pete's sake.

She didn't have to come. We were fine without her.
