People fight. Disagreements happen to every person in the world that lives in a social setting. It's up to you to respond in manner befitting.

(mostly) Everyone else's initial reaction to 'just walk away' indeed may be seen as the simplest and mess-free response to the tirade, but really, it's not up to us to think of how you should handle it; if you want to be the bigger person in this dispute, I think calling her and trying to get her to understand, your prior commitments and that you had a life before her, and will most certainly have one after her (and what could be your tenuous relationship with her) might be the most 'optimal' scenario. Seeing as neither one of us can confirm her status of sanity, and the tether to which it holds in her mind; I think just saying 'bye, no explanations', is not a good option for someone willing to throw such emotions about a mix-up over a date engagement. She already knows where you live. Let her down easy (if you're going to) and tell her you need someone more your speed and maturity.


In my opinion of the very limited scenario of what had occurred, she may be very immature for her age, (I initially wanted to ask what was her age, but regardless, that is a total overreaction for any person, no matter the age) somewhat spoiled in regards to prior relationships she's had, and what she had come to expect as a result, and finally, she probably watches way too much TV/movies. That kind of reactional emotional blow-up is unbelievable, and what I thought was strictly reserved to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air-kind-of shows.
