I fail to notice how one can fail at packing up once suitcase? This sounds like passive-aggressive and yes, somewhat first stages of controlling behaviour. Not a good sign...
I think this should not have happened in the first place - fitness test or not, if a girl (and so much younger) insinuates such inanities, then probably worth to look back what might have led to the fact she would even entertain picking up at your suticase's packing methodology?
Packing it unevenly and not methodically so that it doesn't close correctly. Pathetic and I can't believe we actually had a conversation about it.
I warned her during the first few weeks of dating that I wouldn't tolerate controlling or nagging behaviour. But it's crept in, along with dismissive behaviour, and it's more than likely (though I was conscious of it and tried to temper it), I wasn't forceful enough when I saw the first signs of it.
