Transitioning to a different plane can screw anyone up. Personally I HATE high wings because they do seem so different to me when it comes to landings. Wait till you get to type rating land, then you'll learn how much of a pain it can be to go from one plane to another!

Also, as was mentioned before, you're going through this thing with your girl, it may not be a bad idea to put flying on hold for a bit. There is NO shame there, I've had really bad flights before and in hindsight I realized I had tons of crap going on that I thought I had under control, but stress is insidious and you may not realize how bad things are until something happens (hopefully a minor 'something'). I love to fly, but I wouldn't say it's a good stress reliever. If I have a good flight I feel like a million bucks, if it's bad I'm pretty miserable. But that's just me.
