<human>: We have been together for a bit over 2 years now and do love each other, but recently she has been finding herself angry at me over even the littlest of things.

She has always had a bit of a temper and acts the same way towards her family too, but she says that now it is much worse towards me.

She believes she doesn't respect me enough, which I find to be true as my general behavior isn't the greatest (Laziness, procrastination).

As of today she has decided we should be apart and do our own things for a while and possibly try to reconnect when school calms down.

I am sure that she would like to continue the relationship; so would I, but she thinks how she acts towards me is wrong and needs to be fixed somehow.

I am motivated to change my behavior and improve our relationship. I was thinking that I could start by helping out my family (and hers, I visit often) more to start to change, maybe exercise too. I am often unprepared or shortsighted when it comes to things, and it is something that contributes towards the lack of respect, but I am unsure of how to go about changing this behavior.

I am going to ask her to retain contact often (The vast majority of her anger towards me occurs when we are in person) as I think not having contact would be detrimental to the relationship, but also would help boost my motivation to change, although I fear I may lose motivation and revert back to my bad behaviors.

While I have a somewhat general idea of what I want to do and am willing to change, I am not fully sure as to how I should go about regaining respect from her, and any advice for me or both of us would be greatly appreciated.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
