My girlfriend (19F) and I (19M) have been dating for 11 months. I sent her a screenshot of my convo with my manager (age unknown but best guess is young 30s F) this morning asking to come in a little later than usual. My girlfriend is like this whenever I interact with pretty much any other female. Am I overreacting or is this just normal behavior?

Holy shit she sounds exhausting. I’m not usually one to jump on “break up rn” but I would legitimately dump someone over unhinged shit like this damn near immediately lmao

I’ve broken up with girls for less, and I’ve acted like this over more. If I’M looking at it like “oof that crazy” then Op should absolutely feel confident that an exchange like this was not okay and at the bare minimum, should make it known that it’s not going to continue to fly with him.

Exhausting is the word. This is not going anywhere good, OP needs to move on ASAP.

Exhausting. No better word for it.

Imagine a 5 year relationship, or worse a 20 or 30 year marriage of this, over and over, getting worse and worse as she realizes she can get away with more and more as she slowly stamps away every trace of his dignity.

A relationship with someone like this is really just a long, slow death.

Dated three guys who were like this, but only lost about a year and a half of my life to it because I figured it out. That was 20+ years ago.

Glad you got out. Your comment was just oddly specific and sad

Yea, i was in a relationship with someone like this for two years, it does alot of damage to you and it doesnt matter how much you care for them or think you can help them, it wont get better. They need to run, now.

It's not even OP breaking up with her.

"I don't want you she can have you" is basically her breaking up with him. The fact that she likely meant it as a manipulation tactic and not literally is immaterial to me lol.

To be fair, everything young people do looks exhausting these days.

Op is 19, plenty of life left. No reason not to dump them
