Advice: She dreamed her partner cheated on her, but she’s still acting “distant and cold.”

So she is punishing you — for days — for something you both fully agree you didn’t do.A couple of disclaimers: This kind of tit-for-tat whatabouting is a bad idea in a relationship. It encourages defensiveness and corrodes trust.And it’s probably not a good look for me to take your, “Do I have to apologize?” and respond with, “No, you need to get angrier! And escalate things!”

The reasons I see this as an important point to make are both principled — mistreatment is not okay, not even when it’s absurd — and anecdotal: I’ve seen what happens when someone doesn’t feel beholden to any rational basis for feeling a certain way. If we can’t get past an irrational feeling, then the least we can do is say: “I know I’m being irrational. I’m sorry. I just need room to figure this out.”

Instead, she misread something and launched herself into orbit, at some cost to you, and … insisted it’s your fault? Yeah, no.
