I hope you are a teenager. If so, this is the part in your life where you learn to not be a controlling jerk in relationships. Respect your partner. Trust your partner. Encourage your partner to have meaningful friendships that are entirely separate from you.

Not only are you being a controlling boyfriend here, but you seem to be expressing jealousy because she's been able to have a good time without you while you've instead opted to just be bored without her.

Break up with her. She’s gonna break up with you (I only know this because that’s how it usually goes as teenagers when they’re on a “break”. If you’re an adult, attempt to work it out AFTER she’s had her space). This does NOT mean I’m siding with you. It’s just for the best OP. Stay single and work on yourself my friend. No woman deserves this. If you suspected something like this, you have trust issues. I learned that the hard way.

In addition, always keep your guard up. It’s a vice versa situation. We don’t know what the ACTUAL situation is like. We’re just Reddit.

Hey mate, sorry to hear & it sure is stressful! My work involves a lot of bank deposits, so I have seen the occasional deposit in to an incorrect account.
As has been said already, account numbers need to be exact for it to go through. I'm guessing the account number you typed in is only a small typo, so chances are the account doesn't exist as it would all have to match an existing account with that bank (BSB, Account and Suffix). I would say chances are high of it being reversed - good luck!

Truth is, between myself and G1. I work while she does not. If I'm leeching from anyone, it's her mother who also works and gets the bills paid. I do give her mother some money from each of my paychecks so as to contribute. While I also pay for groceries and other house necessities as they come and as I can. I cook and clean here and there. So, in my defense, I'm not totally useless when it comes to contributing.

My issue comes more so in my lack of savings because I just don't see the point 90% of the time. If I die tomorrow and have a million saved, what good did it do me? None. Maybe to the people I leave behind, but to me, nothing. And it's that thought process I've been fighting against in order to do better.

All that said, it has nothing to do with the shitty things I'm doing. My lack of savings and my way of thinking do not excuse me from what's going on. I'm being an asshole and that's that. There will never be an excuse for it.

I do appreciate the advice provided. Thank you. Here's where my mind is at. As soon as I have a place separate from G1, be it an apartment or a car, I will break things off. I will own up to what I've done because she deserves to know. I can't say I will do it before then. I accept that it makes me even more of a shitty person, but I'm just not cut out for life on the streets. Do I deserve it? Yes. But I'm not going down that road. Sorry. I won't be pursuing anything with G2 as she's not the type of girl I'd want to associate myself with if I'm planning on being a better person. I plan to take the time to be alone and consider what I've done, what I plan to do with my life, and basically become self-sustaining before even considering another relationship. And beyond that, make the choice to separate from anyone I do not wish to be with before engaging with anyone else. Will I succeed in all of this? Idk. But I can only work towards and hope to be a better person 1, 2, 5 years from now.

Yes, we do. Everyone makes mistakes. Some are worse than others. This is among the worst. Not my decision to say what I said. But what is going on beyond that. But everyone makes mistakes. No matter how hard you try to avoid them. Whether you realize it or not. We're all human. We all make mistakes. That doesn't excuse the decisions we make when we make them. But it's just a natural course of human existence.

If it makes you feel better you could think that you didn't really fight for the car but you fought for your principles and that you would have really regretted not doing anything instead.

Now does that mean it was smart? Fuck no. You didn't know if they had a weapon or a gun so you might as well have ended up at the morgue instead of lamenting your broken self esteem and finger.
Especially so considering it wasn't your car or anyone's that you knew for that matter.
And it was property damage so it might be covered by that guy's insurance even.

I learned this when I was a kid and Dame Edna was on TV talking about her Mauve hair. Dame Edna is a character played by comedian Barry Humphries. He's almost 90 now and retired from performing back in 2012. Probably not an act you'd have seen if you're younger.

This is one of few circumstances where my husbands insistence that the only colors are primary and secondary colors would be helpful. He’d have said there’s no such thing as mauve, and I’d have told him to use the green one.
