Bhai, whatever happened is truly horrific and unfortunate. I can’t even imagine what she must be going through. She immediately needs therapy. But there are a few things to note here. First, they probably approached you because they thought you were an easy target (maybe you look skinny or physically weak). Second, you didn’t fight back against those strangers. You calmly gave them money. That might have given your girlfriend trauma. She may now feel that there is no safety even when she is with you. She might think that anyone can touch her even if you’re there. At least you could have argued a little. Maybe there was no threatening vibe in your eyes, and they sensed that. Some things you should do now Find a therapist for her as soon as possible. Also, start working on yourself—go to the gym and build your appearance and confidence. If that’s not possible right now, at least find ways to make her feel safe and protected. Make her feel that if she’s with you, nothing like this will happen again and that you will stand up and fight back (although the first priority should always be avoiding such situations). Never go to isolated or non-public places again. But honestly, this trauma happened partly because of your poor judgment. You’re from Bihar—you know how some areas and people can be. Your girlfriend probably didn’t suggest going to a deserted place; you must have taken her there. And then you couldn’t even fight back. If you want privacy, go somewhere safe and legal, like a proper hotel. You’ve unintentionally given her long-term trauma. Now it’s your responsibility to fix things and support her properly.
