You're right but part of dating women is listening to how their problems made them feel rather than solving them.

Absolutely.

But my guess is that she is upset with you because of how you responded with criticism rather than support, even if she wasn't exactly deserving of support since she was in the wrong.

She responded to me this morning after an apology and that seems to be the case. She also didn't think I was "on board" with feeling unhappy about the election results - I visited her the day before, but on election night we were in different cities, so she didn't read into my texts any emotional cues.

All that said no way in hell would I want to be with someone who reacts that way to their classmate. She seems close-minded

I realize this is a deal-breaker for a lot of people, but I think this is rather out of character for her. She's already talked about getting more serious, professional help and her therapist had already warned her (as did I) to avoid watching the election results live, but she couldn't resist and it hit her hard emotionally. I'm hoping she comes back down, but we'll have to see.
