AITA for saying I would have to save "tens of children" over my girlfriend?

NAH. It's understandable that your girlfriend might feel hurt by your response, as she may perceive it as a lack of commitment or love for her. However, your reasoning for choosing to save multiple children in a hypothetical scenario is based on considering the greater impact on their lives and their families, which is a rational and morally driven decision.

It's important to remember that this was a hypothetical situation and not a reflection of your actual relationship. It might be helpful to reassure your girlfriend of your love and commitment to her and explain that your answer was based on the hypothetical nature of the scenario and not on your feelings for her. In the future, it might be best to avoid engaging in these types of discussions or to approach them with more sensitivity.
