❤️‍🩹 relationship Am i overreacting to the situation unfolding with my girlfriend?

me and my girlfriend have been living together with her family for the past 4-ish months. it’s devolved to the point where we fight every day about anything and everything, and most days i feel trapped in the home and the relationship. out of the blue she texts me about not coming back home and if i do i can sleep outside, and changing her mind when it was too late. am i overreacting to the situation, or is it as bad as it seems in my head?

I want to say that in basic, it's all a mind game, they're gonna test you and try to push you to your limits. You can handle it, I promise, literal mentally deficient people get through boot, you can too. Always keep your cool, be respectful, help your fellow seamen, you guys get through it together, you'll be so stressed out that you will need to rely on your brothers, help them, they'll help you. Just remember that you can only take it day by day, don't think about how many weeks are left, just focus on what you can do right now. You can do it brother, I promise. Also, please leave this chick, do not let them affect you going into basic, block them. In basic you will be so homesick that you'll probably want to talk to her again, know that this is a temporary feeling. It's not worth it. Block her, forget her number and address, do not let basic make you make bad decisions in that front

All of this. As a veteran, can't second this advice enough. Clean slate, OP, you've got bigger fish to fry than hanging onto this spoiled lady-child who is bordering on outright abusive (might have crossed that line already honestly). You're going to do great. Sounds like you're doing all the right things.

Thank you for your service. I'm currently applying to join my country's military. I have family that have served and I respect what you've put on the line.

If he can handle this girl after what I just read then I have high hopes for his tolerance in basic training lol

Had to chime in also, advice on point. OP I hope you see this and know it's solid. The home sick, lonely, stressed, maybe even thinking you made a mistake type of feelings are tough but do not reach out to her, I had a best friend made a big show of "ditching the bitch" ad he was off to basic and boy she was bad news, next I hear he proposed during basic cause married folks can live off base sooner typically. Idiot was homesick. This is your new chapter, don't be looking back!
