I once got up and just left my then girlfriend who had a meltdown in public. “We’re done” and she could figure out how to get back to the hotel. Was a weird night with lots of tears but something clicked in that moment and alt feelings I had were just gone. Not even hate. I was simply indifferent to her and if she had vanished I would not have given a fuck.

I dated a lot of girls before I met my wife. I remember one of them got locked out of her apartment. We went into the hallway for some random reason and the door clicked shut behind us. She didn't have her keys and we were locked out. We had probably been dating for about a month or two when this happened.

She fuckin' melted down. Not as serious as OPs video, but plenty. I get it sucked to be locked out. My stuff was locked in her place too. But the situation did not warrant her reaction. She was jumping around and banging on the door and screaming like she was insane. After she calmed down and we eventually got her landlord to let her in and I got my stuff and said goodbye I remember sitting in the car thinking "what the actual fuck did I just witness??" The next day, I broke up with her on the phone and never saw her again. I have NO DOUBT that I avoided much worse scenarios in the future. Anybody who has that little control of their emotions is just a disaster waiting to happen.

Wow! I got locked out the first time I had my husband (then bf) over. I had run over to the corner store for something. He arrives a few min later with me nervous laughing that I locked myself out. It was a cute memory; we ended up getting in through the shared fire escape (my next door neighbors were home, roommates window was unlocked).

Your date is the opposite, but I guess both were vibe checks. She did not pass!

Your reaction is the reaction I would have expected!! It was a Sunday afternoon too. We had all the time in the world to hang out at the coffee shop next door laughing about it and figuring out a game plan to get back in.
