Going by your description, I think the girl has a screw loose. Cut your losses and move on.

lmao - just broke up with her right now. I told her I was looking for someone proud to call me their boyfriend. That I would be dating other people and that she can always let me know if she changes her mind. She stormed off angry, did not want to communicate. I can tell it's for the better. She was upset that I changed my mind on yesterdays agreement.

hmmmm.... you are leaving the door open.
So if things don't work out for her, she can come running back to you.
Hopefully, you will not be pining and waiting around for her.

It would be better if you blocked all communication with her.

Deciding to no longer be in a relationship with her is a perfectly valid choice. My instincts tell me that she had a sense that what you need and what she needs, in a relationship, are not really a good fit.

There was a time in my life that I told some individuals I was dating (poly at the time) that I no longer wanted the "girlfriend" label, but wanted to continue to be close friends, and even sex was not off the table. What I meant by it at that time, was that I really had too much going on in my life and felt a certain pressure to devote an amount of time and energy to fulfilling obligations as a "girlfriend" and doing that with multiple people was too much for me. They took it as more of a breakup than what I really intended...but by that point our time spent together was mostly friend activities and very little "benefits" anyways, so I did not feel like I was losing out on much.

Seems to me that in the context of a "boyfriend/girlfriend" relationship, you believe that you are entitled to certain sacrifices from her that she does not want to make, such as giving up some of her friendships that you found threatening. Or perhaps there was more to it, such as expectations of her time that she didn't feel she wanted to commit to giving you. It's fair for her to not want those things, but it might make her an inappropriate partner for your needs. I don't personally think that either of you are right or wrong, you just want different things. But then I really don't believe in "one size fits all" rules for relationships, or what is typical or "the norm" being necessarily best for all people.

Best of luck to both of you in seeking and finding what you need, probably with others besides one another.
