Man praised for ghosting girlfriend after putting him through 'commitment test'
Every couple has bumps in the road and it’s important to deal with them head-on - it could even make your relationship stronger. However, one man has been advised to ‘run’ after he revealed his girlfriend had devised a ‘test’ to discover how he reacted in a particular situation.
Sharing the extreme scenario of what had happened on social media, he admitted he was now going no-contact, also known as ghosting, with her because of how she had behaved. Explaining what had happened, the 29-year-old began by stating that he and his girlfriend Andrea* had been together for a few months and everything had been going smoothly. Until it didn’t.
He wrote: “She called me late at night to say that she's seriously injured/having panic attacks and that no one else is with her as her parents are out, which was true, they were out. She said that she's also got some chest pain and she thinks that she's dying and that she's in a really bad state and can hardly breathe.” He added that she sounded like she was struggling to take a breath on the phone.

Concerned for Andrea’s well-being, the man got in his car and raced around to her house. He went on: “It was only after reaching her that I found out that she was joking about it. She met me joyfully and said that she only wanted to see how ‘committed’ I am during an emergency as that's an essential part of a relationship or something.

“I lost my temper and asked her what the f**k her problem was. She said that she was just 'testing' me and I got p****d off. I called her a ‘f***ing b***h’ and told her that I did not deserve to be treated like trash and made use of like that.
“She was crying by saying that she only wanted to check whether I am a good fit and that I overreacted. I left the house immediately and haven't talked to her since. She's been texting me, but I just ignored her.”
Wanting to know if he was in the wrong for shouting and swearing at her, he shared the story on Reddit, asking readers to tell him if he was the a**hole. One person replied: “Run! She intentionally put you in a state, causing you to drive in that state of panic, which is a recipe for disaster. An accident waiting to happen.
“You need to focus on the fact that she never gave your feelings any thought at all. She didn't dismiss your feelings. To dismiss your feelings, she would have had to consider them. She didn't even think about you at all. Your panic was what she was looking for. It made her happy. It made her laugh. That's how sociopaths feel. If you were killed in an accident on your way to her, it would have been a home run for her."
Someone else joked: “For real. My man needs to run and never add her as a beneficiary on any life insurance policy.” And a third person penned: “She is not a good fit. You did, indeed, ‘prove’ you’re a good boyfriend… Hopefully you see her ‘test’ as the bright waving red flag everyone else here sees."
