AITAH for ghosting my girlfriend after she nearly killed both of us?

[u/Few_Relative4595]

So, my girlfriend (20f) and I (22m) have been together for a little over 10 months now. We haven't had any heated arguments or fights, except for the fact that she keeps tickling me randomly despite the fact that I've repeatedly told her to never do it again because I can act strangely to it (something from my childhood which I won't delve into).

Now to get to the current situation: this week I've had my car returned from a paint job and some major look changes and I was really satisfied with the results, so I took a day off from work and took my girlfriend on a short trip outside the city. We drove to a lake, ate some food and relaxed for a couple of hours until it got pretty dark and we decided to head back home to get some sleep as I had to go to work the next day and she had an exam. On the way home, I started talking about how happy I felt with how the paint job turned out and out of nowhere, she starts tickling me. I pushed her hand away and told her to stop, then she reached for my ribs with both hands and got me swerving off the road.

Thankfully, nobody was hurt (although my car got some deep scratches but that doesn't even matter anymore), as I already slowed down after her first attempt to tickle me. I'll admit that I told her "what the fuck is wrong with you" as soon as we stepped out of the car and she started crying, but I couldn't care less as I felt as if my veins were about to pop.
When we got home, I told her to pack her things and go to her best friend, but she threw a tantrum and begged me to forgive her for "a little mistake".

I didn't say a word, I simply stared in disgust and pointed to her luggage. After her friend picked her up, I tried to go to sleep but my mind was racing, so i barely got any rest. This happened on tuesday, and she's been blowing up my phone ever since, but I haven't answered any calls or texts and just blocked her. This led to her friend coming to my house and telling me to at least hear my girlfriend out, but I've told her to fuck off and leave me alone, which made her tell me that I'm more in love with a car than with my girlfriend.

So, AITAH in this situation? Should I talk to my girlfriend? I already feel like I can't trust her after what happened and that our relationship can't be fixed.

I am a 42 F married. My kids are 11 and 9. I have taught them they can not argue and shout in the car to NOT DISTRACT THE DRIVER as all of our lives could be put at risk. The kicker for me was she did it a 2nd time after you told her to stop. OP you may have many girlfirends over the years, but you will only have one life. NTA my dude. Kick her ass to the curb.

Not only are you a huge asshole, but you need therapy ASAP, Dude!

She was showing affection. Most people like to be tickled. You aped out because of some sort of weird baggage from your past.

I suspect this has nothing to do with the car or the driving. You just can’t stand to be tickled, and instead of seeing it as YOUR PROBLEM, which you need to resolve in therapy, you projected it onto her.

If I were her, I would not want to be in a relationship with someone so volatile. She would be wise to thank her lucky stars that you showed your true colors and exploded like this. She needs to stay the hell away from you. Who knows how you might react to some other little trigger?

Hahahaha did we just find the boundary stomping ex girlfirend? Hey are you also the kind of person who likes to go up to people and randomly touch thier hair?

"What, I just wanna feel you hair because I like it. It's a compliment that I am touching you. Oh you don't like it? Well that's your problem because I am showing you I like you."

No means fucking no even in a relationship.
