Honesty. Try it some time.

Hmmm, I'm assuming that this pair is in college, so the maturity level may very well NOT be where one would hope. That is, I assume, part of the problem on the girlfriend's part.
However, attacking this guy because he decided, after taking humiliation after humilation from his girlfriend, to stage a little "payback", might be uncalled for. I mean, he himself pointed out that he is socially stunted, and that he has real issues with overcoming his need to protect her so he can share his feelings with her in a more adult fashion. It WAS, however, the wrong approach to take - defintely!
After getting that off my chest, I have to say that my recommendation would be to cut and run. At the very least, you could go back to your previous arrangement, where you saw eachother socially and hooked up when the opportunity arose. That would, for me, be too difficult to handle. I prefer cleaner breaks.
