My girlfriend and I had been together for almost two years. We had a very strong bond and enjoyed spending time together. Recently, we had gone out to Orchard to enjoy some retail therapy.
At first, it was a great day. We were laughing and joking, looking at different items and window shopping. But then, we came across a shop that sold branded bracelets.
My girlfriend wanted to buy one immediately and asked me to get it for her. But I refused. I explained to her that these kinds of bracelets have no real value and are just for show. I told her that if she wanted to buy something, she should get a gold chain, which would have a real resale value.
My girlfriend was not happy with my decision and started to argue with me. She kept insisting that I buy the bracelet for her and I kept refusing. I explained to her that if she bought the bracelet, she would be wasting money and that it would not be a wise investment. But she wouldn’t listen to me.
Slap
The argument was getting heated and I could see that my girlfriend was getting very frustrated. She started yelling at me and then she slapped me across the face. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe that she had done this.
I was so angry and hurt by her actions that I just walked away. I didn’t want to stay there and argue with her any further. I just wanted to get away from the situation.
The incident left me feeling confused and betrayed. I couldn’t understand why my girlfriend had acted the way she did. We had been together for almost two years and I thought we had a strong relationship. But it seemed like she had suddenly changed and was willing to hurt me just to get a bracelet.
I thought about the incident for days afterwards and it made me realise that my girlfriend was not in a good financial situation. I felt bad for her and wished that I could do something to help her. I decided that if she wanted to buy a bracelet, I would buy her one. But I would make sure that this time it was a gold chain, so that she could at least have a resale value.
I left her there and I went home. She apologize to me and blame it on her hormones.
I do not know if I should forgive her anot? getting slap in public is something I cannot forgive her, but i still have feelings for her.
She said I could slap her back in public if that is what it takes for me to forgive her, I knew she was trying to manipulate me as I will never hit a girl.
What should I do?
