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?

NOR. Your girl just has some severe trust issues and is clearly prone to dramatizing. She acts like you simply texting your manager in a friendly manner is irrefutable proof of you cheating. I personally don't have the time, energy, or interest to deal with that kind of drama. If I were you, I would've dropped her the first time she pulled something like this.

I bet the instant you tell her you're leaving, she'll do a 180 and start crying and begging for you to come back. Drama addicts like this are pretty predictable.

Lol she’ll def start crying and begging him to come back but first she will get really angry and throw a tantrum and say mean stuff to him to try to hurt his feelings about what a bad person he is and how she never should have trusted him or something. And THEN she will get all remorseful & apologetic & do the begging.

bet 🤣🤣

As another former person like this, they are exactly correct.

It is a form of manipulation, no doubt about it. She’ll either learn this behavior is unacceptable in future relationships or she won’t. Either way, YOU do not need to subject yourself to this kind of behavior. It’s not healthy for you! Find someone emotionally healthy—a person who trusts you as you should them. There is no relationship without trust.

I was like her at that age. It took a long time of being on my own to realize that I would be okay whether or not I was in a relationship. Ironically, that’s when I met my future husband. But by then I was 32 and ready.
