Have you talked to your girlfriend again after the first time when she had "that time of the month"? What was her second reaction? Is it safe to assume that she is Chinese? If so, I can somewhat understand the misconception of being an "attention whore". If her family is very traditional, she must have suppressed many things and became unhappy when she was still living with them. In adulthood, there is this huge shouting "FREEDOM!!" in her head and she will want to try and do the things she was not allowed. This was the same for me when I was told to go to Canada by myself to study. I was too innocent to take strong drugs or have sex, but I did go dancing and drinking a lot. Hahahaha... It takes some time for this shouting "Freedom!" to become dim. And then she will become more mature, so it doesn't seem to be a big worry, in my opinion.
There is something you can do if things truly turn bad. Take the train and live in Hong Kong. It was a British colony before 1997 so more people will understand English. If you are not Asian, you can earn extra money part time as an English tutor. There is a huge demand for native English tutors, and it is even better if you know other European languages. You should have no problem using public things like the bank and taxi because most people can at least listen to English even if they do not reply properly. I have not returned home for a long time, but if not much has changed, most of the street signs, shop names and other things are still bilingual (traditional Chinese and English).
