Prime example of Classical conditioning

I have it! An excellent ex. of classical conditioning. So there's this girl who used to be spontaneous and crazy and just sang and goofed around and did whatever she felt like all the time. She felt good about her self. I suppose that this could be the unconditioned response. The neutral stimulus is the boyfriend. The person who initially seemed to enjoy these outbursts. The former neutral stimulus changes and soon gets irrated easily by the randomness and fun that the girlfriend had and would get angry with the girlfriend.It is now the conditioned stimulus. This caused our new conditioned response which was the girlfriend becoming very cautious to everything that she was doing and no longer did spontaneous things or the things she would have done in the past for a new "fear" if you would of upsetting this conditioned stimulus and now has the same effect with general stimuli which would be any time a compulsive action passes though the brain it immediatly stops not only with the boyfriend but with other people too. Hmm...Im pretty proud of myself for figuring that out all by myself. Psych for once applies to real life! Not only did I figure out all of that I also had another really bad day which consisted of people tripping me in the hall (accidentally but still) opening doors in my face, playing shitty in band, waking up to my mom and brother being a pain in the ass, wrecking my back with a fire extinguisher, forgetting all my shit at home, and a couple other things happened but you get the gist of it all. Cant this week just be over?
