My girlfriend and I got into an argument last night over this and while I think I'm in the right, I want to be sure moving forward in case the issue comes up again. 

We haven't been dating for very long, about a month and a half, so I knew that there would/will be some issues for us to work out in the long run. One of these issues that has repeteadly come up is that she says I'm not affectionate enough with her. Her two biggesy concerns are that I'm not affectionate enough with her in public, and that I don't pay enough attention to her at work (we're coworkers as well).

Last night it came to ahead when she sent me a text last night asking me if I could be "cuter" when texting her. She said that she does so and would be nice if I could reciprocate. Usually when something like this comes up I try to compromise. I work early mornings all 7 days a week for a aide job, but still do my best to go out with her most nights when she asks, I do the cute activities she sets up for us to do at home in private, and I let her take pictures of us to post on social media even though I'd rather keep that private. 

I finally had enough with her bugging about it and said "[Girlfriend], I'm just not a cutesy guy. It's not something I feel comfortable doing and it isn't me. I'd be faking it and I respect you too much to act fake."

She replied "and i get that you're not cutesy, but i am. and idk i just feel like if it's something that makes me happy then you'd want to do it for me. little things  like that matter to me"

That part bugged me a bit. I've given her a lot of ground and compromised on other little things like I stated above, and seeing that just made it seem like she was unappreciative. It also seemed like she was trying to make me feel guilty. So I replied:

"And I feel like that if I tell you something makes me uncomfortable you wouldn't try to guilt me into doing it. I understand it that this is important to you, but being able to move at my own pace and stay true to myself is also important to me."

I feel like I don't have the time or energy to put on a charade and pretend to be something I'm not. Especially if in the future I stop acting like that (because that will never be the kind of person I am) and we discover that after being in a LTR she's fallen for the person I was pretending to be and not the actual me. It just sounds exhausting.

Anyway, AITA?
