This is the definition my ex just gave to me: "The intentional creation of an apprehension of immediate physical contact in the mind of another."

What does that mean exactly and did I do that?

How about this.  Ignore her, ignore all contact with her.

If she charges you go see a lawyer, VGC cannot help you

Since this thread is actually, how can I get back with my ex, the answer is i) you can't and ii) if you could, it won't work. Move on. Unfortunately human conditioning causes fixation on a single person but really there are millions of compatible people you would be able to love.

Hahaha, for real!? oh sweet lord, what has the world come to!

You did not "assault" her. Forget her and move on.

The whole thing sounds messed up. Why would you say "I just want to die"? Just let it go, man. The more you try to prove to her that you're sorry (for hugging her?) the more you scare her. Just let it go.

As an ex cop from the state of Georgia, if I were convinced that she believed she was in danger and that you intended to cause that fear, you could be charged with simple assault without ever even laying a hand on her.

I don't think you did anything threatening, though. Also, WTF!? If all of this is actually going on (this thread and last thread), just leave the girl alone for a while. Don't make contact with her in any way whatsoever.

do you know the one scene in taxi driver ? the one when a guy is following his wife and talks to the cab driver ?

look it up

Is that the same girlfriend that cheated on you ?

Don't worry, if it comes down to her trying to file charges they will give her a full psychological examination to determine the true extent to which she was distressed by your action. And given that it was just a common relationship issue that resulted in a hug, not an attack, the chances are the case would be thrown out by any judge worth their salt, if she can even get a proper lawyer to build a lawsuit. I doubt she would even want to spend the enormous amount of time.

In her mind it could easily be assault, though to everyone else you did not.

Either way, you did nothing wrong if its all true.
