One Reddit user has been criticized for giving his girlfriend a “panic attack” after spontaneously explaining a potentially fiery fate for planet Earth – prompting some to wonder how he’s kept a partner in the first place.
Redditor Kortanak recently confessed that he sent his girlfriend into hysterics while discussing a dark end to life as we know it, in a now-viral post [1] that’s received over 43,000 upvotes and 5,800 comments.

During a recent video call, the couple got to chatting about the different kinds of stars in the sky and the sun then things took a turn for the worse.
He said, “I told my girlfriend the sun will eventually burn out, swallowing Earth in the process and eliminating all life, causing her to have a panic attack and cry before bed.”
This argument sent the girlfriend into a “panic attack” and made her cry “for about five minutes straight” as she worried about the fate of humanity and our collective existence.
“Now I’m here, typing this up and trying to get her to relax at the same time by explaining how we are a relatively young species and have a long time to figure out a game plan, though I’m not sure if any of it is really helping,” Kortanak wrote, seeking advice on how to save the situation.
What do you think he did wrong, if anything?
