My Girlfriend Tracks Our "Conversation Labor" and Bills Me for Emotional Support

I'm going to sound like the villain here, but hear me out. My girlfriend is an accountant and she takes things... literally.

Six months ago, she proposed we start tracking "emotional labor" in our relationship to make sure things stayed fair. I agreed because I believe in equality and figured it was about chores or planning dates.

No. She meant actual conversations.

She now logs every time one of us vents about work, family drama, or "life stress" in a shared Google Doc. Each "venting session" is rated by length and intensity. At the end of each month, whoever did more emotional listening gets compensated by the other person buying dinner or doing extra chores.

Last month, she said I owed her 3 dinners and had to clean the bathroom for two weeks because I had a "really rough time" with a project at work and "monopolized emotional bandwidth."

I brought up that my mom was in the hospital that month. She pointed to a cell in the spreadsheet and said, "Already factored in. You still owe net-two dinners."

The thing is... our relationship has never been healthier? I feel like I'm in a hostage situation but with great communication.
