Looking at it in terms of whether or not she is "overreacting" is a mistake in itself. Her feelings are as real as your feelings are to you, and if you care about her, you should care about how she feels. Period.
I can't comment on whether or not her reaction was reasonable, because I don't know exactly what she said. But what I do know is that she reached out to you for emotional support about a topic that was really upsetting to her, and you responded with "K". Let me ask you this: How would you feel if you were in her position?

lol no she isn't overacting. She wrote you a long ass text telling you a story about a snotty mean girl and how it ruined her day and you reply with a K? lol anyone will flip on an insensitive reply like that. I hate replies like that PERIOD. lol
What Girls Said
Yeah obviously you were wrong. She was sharing something personal with you, as people do in normal healthy relationships. She put in effort. She wanted you to be part of her life and thoughts and then you went ahead and said "K". Way to show that you are interested in your SO's life...
"K" is a terrible reply even to an insignificant text. That makes it sound like you don't care at all about what she said. I will say that I don't know if she should have unloaded her personal stuff on you so soon if you two are a recent couple, but next time try to be a little more supportive.
That's dumb as hell to just reply "K". She has written so much in the hopes of getting some support or advice. But here you are not giving a damn about her. God, if you were my boyfriend, I'd be fucking mad. He tends to give really short replies too sometimes when I've written so much. Makes me feel like he doesn't care about me sometimes.
Well... First off if a girl sends you a thesis with referencing (yep sarcasm) then you don't reply with a "k" at least add some more shit into your response, because you replying with just "k" indicates to her that you don't care when really you're probably tired, busy or don't know what to tell her... As for her overreacting she probably is, but you triggered that hornet's nest so...
Yes and no. Girls are emotional beings and we want feedback or support. You should have said something like...
"Babe I'm sorry you had a bad day. You don't need that girl as a friend anyway...". Then send her a funny meme or something to make her smile.
For now just apologize and tell her your sorry for being so short but what really wanted to say was...Well if your girl is ranting to you its probably the best idea to not ever go with "k" try maybe a full word next time, but if your just having a normal conversation then it would more appropriate to say "k"
She thinks you don't care and thinks she's nagging you. "K" as a response makes her feel like you're brushing her off, a guy texted me that before and I wanted his head.
In a way she is a bit, but that's because she expects you to stick up for her. I'm not saying go get into a fight or something but just tell her if it happens again you'll be there for her or something like it. and also you don't respond with 'K' when someone has just told you about their feelings. People care about their feelings so when they tell someone about them they expect them to care. and 'K' is not a caring answer.
Never text 'K' to your girlfriend, she will freak LOL.
Not really. At the end of the day she wanted your support and makes it sound like you didn't even listen
