Hi. So here's the deal: I've been in a relationship with my girlfriend for 3 years, we are living together. Things had their ups and downs as per usual, but one particular incident has started to make me think. So, about 2 weeks ago she was getting very agitated about nothing at all, starting to insult me heavily and breaking up in the process. Including this, she printed a cancellation form for our flat and brought it to the post office; she was also talking about having real good sex when she's finally at the festival she was going to attend a few days later. When she was gone, I was very agitated, hurt and upset so I decided to sign up to tinder to hook up, since she had left me after all. I met up with a woman, even though we just had some tea and a nice conversation. When my girlfriend came back home about a week later ( we hadn't really had any contact in this time since, well she broke up with me and i was kind of looking for a new flat), she started acting all aggressive and weird, while I was in the shower she snagged my phone and checked tinder. She then went on a massive rage, saying I had been unfaithful and whatnot. In the process, she told me that 'from her side of things we were still a couple' and that she hadn't actually sent the cancellation mail but only wanted to threaten me. She also hit me quite roughly, giving me a few bruises in the process. She had gotten that impulsive before but I was always ready to forgive and look for blame on my end; this has gone as far as being threatened with a knife by her. So I took a step back and decided to just lock myself into one of the rooms to ride this out and hopefully have a rational conversation once she cooled down. Little did I know that she started taking to some friends and her family, saying that I had been unfaithful and I would be threatening and hitting (!; I have NEVER in our relationship laid a finger on her) her.
