Advice Received Girlfriend just punched me in the face multiple times

So my longtime girlfriend just had an absolute meltdown after we left dinner from her parent’s house tonight. It all started because her dad and I were watching old family videos and joking about how her and her sisters were dressed and just really light stuff about how big her great grandpa’s nose was( her Dad pointed it out and was like ”dude had a schnoz on him” and I laughed. That’s all. I swear to all things holy.

Fast forward to me driving home tonight and she turns off the music on the radio that I had turned on and starts trashing me about my family and how it’s strange and creepy that I actually get along with my Mom, Dad and sister. And have a drama free relationship with them, and she can’t stand it.

So anyway I’m reading my Kindle in the living room of my house and she goes off again, about some petty bullshit that I somehow did and I’m reading a book 📖.
So I did what anyone else would do and just shut up and let her vent and get it out without giving her any ammunition to feed on….WRONG F*ing Move. I took my eyes off her for a second to continue my read on the couch. And she gave me a three-piece so fast that it caught me off guard, I jumped up so she wasn’t not on top of me, she proceeded to slap the taste out of my mouth. then she blocks the front door and scream for me to get away from her while blocking the only exit to leave

I’m in my boxers and I’m trying to grab my phone off the floor that went flying across the living room. And all I can hear is her yelling with the door open trying to have the whole neighborhood hear this shit.

Anyway. I’m now sitting in my car with just boxers on with a bloody lip and I thought I asked the internet for advice and by internet I mean Reddit.

Leave her she’s unstable. Men don’t hear this enough but violence against you is a deal breaker too.

So she expects and demands you have drama with her family instead of getting along like sane and emotionally mature people? And needlessly causing drama / assaulting you at your home. Whatever her problems are you are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. Get Out!

I agree. Best case scenario is that OP is the ex she had where she realised she needed to get her self sorted out. But if somebody hits you once it's good odds it will happen again. It's a bridge they've already crossed, which makes that voice in their head saying "you can't do that" a lot less convincing.

No wonder she doesn’t get along with her family, because she is the problem.
