E string uncoiling after month of playing

Well if the string is uncoiling at the bridge where the string touches the metal, it's probably a sign of cheap or defective strings. I would recommend changing the strings, and while you have the strings off, check the bridge and make sure nothing on the bridge is causing the problem.
It's most likely the strings.
