I (28/M) told my GF (27/F) that she was being borderline insecure and she didn't like that.

I have been with my gf for 2 years now. We have been having a really good relationship. Unfortunately she has a lot problems with insecurities. She has told me alot about her insecurities and I told her that I don't like skinny girls, I like girls with curves and a little weight so she can feel comfortable with her weight. She seemed to be a little comfortable with her weight after that. <br><br>But lately she was having a lot of problems with insecurities. She keeps asking me if she looks okay, if she is pretty? If she should go to the gym? if she should change her hair? Even when I told her no, you are fine the way you are, I love you this way. <br><br>She seemed to be comfortable but last night we were making plans to go out and she was telling me that she will buy new hair dye and change her hair maybe get some lip fillers. I was a little bit mad and told her you want to change everything about yourself, you are being borderline insecure. She looked me dead in the eyes and told me do I really look that bad? I told her no you don't but you have been obsessed with changing your looks lately. She didn't say anything and went to bed. I tried to talk to her and she didn't respond at all.<br><br>The next morning before I went to work I left her a note on the fridge that water is life and I love her. But she has been ignoring my calls and texts. What should I do? I was planning to propose to her on her birthday.<br><br>Edit I have decided to go home. I will update once I am home.<br><br>Edit2 <br>I am home. I called my girl before I got home and told her I am coming home because I feel something is wrong and if she was in an accident or something happened to her family. I told her I am coming home because we need to talk about this in person. She didn't say anything and hung up the phone. <br><br>When I got home I saw her with tears in her eyes. I asked her what is wrong and she told me her mum called her and told her that she looks old and I told her the same thing. I wasconfused and asked her what made her think that? She told me because I told her borderline insecure I thought she looks old. I instantly knew where this was going. I sat her down with me and told her to call her mum. She called her mum and put it on speaker-phone. Her mum told her that she is ugly with short hair. She told her she looks like a tom boy with short hair and she should let it grow and get a full body massage to get rid of her stretch marks. That is why she didn't like it when I told her she was being borderline insecure.<br><br>I apologised to her and told her not to listen to her mum. I told her the only reason why her mum said that is because she is jealous that she is in a relationship and her mum is not. I told her to feel free to talk to me whenever she feels like talking. She apologized as well about the whole thing. <br><br>Now we are watching anime with snacks and my gf is in better shape.
