Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Recently I broke up with my girlfriend of about 4 months. I took her on a walk because we live fairly close together and she wanted to see me and walk the dog. I planned on ending it on her porch where she could just go inside, and I would know she was home safe, but when we got closer she saw her mom was outside smoking and she just turned around.

So we walk back further up the block and we sit down. I start explaining how I only have a three months or so before I have to leave because I’m enlisting in the Marines and she’s a year younger than me and on a completely separate path. I explained how we are delaying the inevitable and that we needed to break up. She starts freaking out. 

Her voice gets high pitched and nasally and she starts talking really fast. She seemed to not even think that it was even a possibility of we would end things. She starts talking about how “Oh, during WWII the men would leave and the women would stay behind and wait” and all this stuff. She wanted to do long distance and I just can’t. I explained I don’t do long distance because of trust issues I have since ex #1. She interrupts me and says “but you know I’m not like her” and all sorts of things. Anyways, I keep my ground and I’m still kind to her when we break up. 

This is where things get messy.

So anyways, we get past the hard things and I ask if I can walk her and her dog home to make sure she’s okay. She said no, but I waited and let bad because she was still crying. She kept saying “I don’t understand why it has to be now” and such. I continued to keep my ground and be firm so that I wouldn’t be pressured into continuing the relationship. I ask again, and she starts throwing a tantrum. I stood up and literally begged her to let me walk her home. I said “it’s cold, your dog is shivering, please let me walk you home” and she got really upset and literally said “I’M NOT COLD. No, I’m not getting up, I’m not moving. I’m not leaving this spot.”

So after asking her multiple times and getting the same answer, I told her goodbye, “text me when you get home so I know you’re safe,”and walked home. Then I went to hang with some buddies who knew I was ending things. She ended up texting me later and told me she got home. I said “I’m glad to hear you’re home safe” and she said “it’s only because my dog was cold.” I told her I was sorry. 

The next day I was gone from school for medical reasons. Anyways, while I was gone she would ask my friends about how I was doing etc, they would say good, he’s waiting for this stuff etc, and she would say “Well that’s good because his ass left me in the cold for 40 minutes.” 

I felt like I did everything I could in the situation except physically pick her up and carry her which would have been completely inappropriate given the context. 

TLDR: AITA for leaving my ex on the sidewalk because she refused to handle the breakup maturely and threw a tantrum?
