I'm a 24-year-old man, and I often feel that when I say 'no' to my girlfriend, it doesn't truly mean no. She tends to get her way or makes me feel guilty about it.

I feel like my girlfriend doesn’t really take me seriously when I say no, and it often leads to me feeling guilty. Her mom got me the job at her workplace, and if I stay employed for three months, her mom gets a £300 referral bonus. I started at 28 hours a week over four days, but then my manager informed me that I’d been transitioned into a full-time role with five days and more hours. While I initially requested this at the interview, when my girlfriend’s mom learned about the change, she began stressing out, saying I shouldn’t take it because it’s hard work and that they’re likely taking advantage of me. I agree; it seems like they don’t want to hire another person. When I shared this with my girlfriend and her mom, they both insisted I shouldn’t go full-time, and it visibly annoyed my girlfriend, too, making her agitated and upset. In another situation, my girlfriend asked me multiple times if I wanted to accompany her to visit her uncle on my days off, but I told her no because I just wanted to relax. After she asked me three times, her mom found out I said no, and then they both ganged up on me again.
