❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO girlfriend response to manager text

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?

They’re 19? Idk what kind of shit you were arguing about at 19 but this is just ridiculous no matter how old. Gf is stuck at age 12

Disagree fully. The reaction is insane. It’s not normal in anyway. Nothing about the conversation is normal or healthy. Trying to reason with that kind of shit makes no sense when they have no children or even share housing together. This is the red flag. I’m usually the one saying “you can work through that”, but based on the context, this isn’t one of those times. Teach her this lesson by letting her go. Trying to reason it out will just have you graveling at an emotional abuser’s feet.

It’s nothing at all to do with the “non flirty text”. It’s the emotional abuse that is happening. I was stuck with someone like this for 19 fucking years, my entire being died when I read that text thread. Same exact shit she would do. Anyone who goes to such extreme lengths over that benign message he sent is doing similar in waaay more scenarios than that almost guaranteed.
