Am I wrong for being angry after my girlfriend posted on her WhatsApp bio that she's single and for me wanting to end things

You're never in the wrong for having feelings. It's what we do with those feelings. I would be very hurt if I was in the same situation. It seems your girlfriend should have spoken to you first before writing that on her social media account. It's totally OK for you to feel angry.

Like the poster above me stated, I think that you are never in the wrong when it comes to how you feel and process emotions. If you are feeling angry, there's an underlying reason as to why you're angry. I know that break-ups can be particularly difficult, and people can say things in the heat of the moment that they regret later. My question would be: do you have any healthy outlets for dealing with those feelings? In my experience, hobbies like exercising can help, but you have to find something that's right for you. Best of luck!

First of all I'd like to thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. ❤️

I will respectfully share my view on your struggle in hopes it may bring some light to you. Sometimes answer aren't that simple. Perhaps it isn't about being right or wrong, just measuring up to a certain point if our response to a certain stimuli is proportional to it. Which, in your case, if those were the only facts I would say it is. But relationships are more complex than that and if that person behaved this way it could warrant a need to open a channel of communication between the two of you that way you can make a decision based on facts not just an assumption of how the other person feels or what motivated their actions. And more importantly, you'll give yourself a chance to express your feelings as well, your pain and frustration so that the other person can see what you feel.
