Um I think her reaction was pretty real. I mean, would you not get upset if your partner of 6 years makes a huge decision without even telling you? He could have told her when he thought it MIGHT happen, so she could prepare herself. Rather than just saying "so look, I'm moving to NYC".
I think it's the springing of information on her rather than conversing with her about what his plans actually are and what he wants. That would probably get a better reaction. And really, the following day she came to see him to tell him that she was OK with long distance (see what giving people time to digest information will do?) and he was already banging another girl.
It's like when he was caught by text cheating (kissing the co-worker) his response was to say it's no big deal.
She's definitely immature in the way she would get violent, but he was equally immature because he would just spring horrible things on her and expect her to just accept it.
