So my girlfriend and I have been dating for more than 10 months now, and since we started dating, I’ve noticed she’s a troublesome person. I, on the other hand, am a calm person. Even if you hit me, I’ll never retaliate. I’m just trying to maintain my space based on my past experiences—I once hit someone, and the person went into a coma for a few weeks. It was a very chaotic time for me, but I’m glad I got over it. My girlfriend is always getting on people’s nerves outside, and when it backfires, she runs to me to help her fight. But I’ve promised myself never to get into a fight with anyone, knowing fully well that I’m an only child. She got into trouble by insulting some guys on campus who are known to be dang€rous. I heard they seized her phone, so I had to call some street-related friends to help retrieve it peacefully. She got mad at me, saying I’m too soft and that people will take advantage of me.
I warned her to stay out of trouble, and she frowned at me for some time until she calmed down. But last week, she got into a dispute with a well-known cult-related group on campus. This time, they hit her. When I got there, I found out it was the same people I knew, the ones who also protect me from a few people. We were able to resolve everything, and the guy came to apologize to my girlfriend. But because I didn’t fight back, she got mad and started speaking aggressively, using foul words. I got fed up and told her to stay away from my life and never try to come back to me. Honestly, I’m even glad it’s our final year—let me just run away and go back to my state. I want to know if I actually overreacted because I have one st••pid friend telling me it isn’t enough reason to break up.
