Yeah, your girlfriend's acting a bit childish. First of all, your daughter's autistic she's not going to respond the same way as a child without your yes she's thrilled about the movies because that's what she's into. She sounds like she had a very nice reaction and thank your girlfriend for the dress. Does your daughter normally wear dresses? Does she like dresses? Is it a color she liked? I would definitely think about those three things, but in any case, she sounded plenty appreciative and thanked her properly. Your girlfriend needs to get over herself and her expectations and the kind of response she should have received in her mind. Your daughter should not be blamed in any way.
Alternatively, see it thru the next couple days. Once he is no longer at death's door, then bounce and don't do the rehab (or whatever, I'm sure there is some kind of recovery needed).
I think this is well-intentioned advice but a really bad idea. If she stays any longer she's going to get sucked in to his recovery. Since she felt like she needed to stay while he was critical she'll also feel like she needs to stay while he's recovering. And what's he going to say to her during this process, think he'll be honest? Doubtful. She's now taking care of him and I'm sure the near death experienced spooked him, so he'll promise to be faithful and she'll try to make herself believe it. But if he was willing to cheat on his fiancee already he's going to be willing to cheat on the wife who stood by him while he was dying, too.
The longer she stays in that hospital room the greater the odds of her getting dragged back into a relationship with this cheater out of guilt and obligation will be. She needs to get out now. She saved his life, she owes him nothing else, and if she offers something else she's going to get drawn back in. She's got to bail now while the anger is fresh and her resolve is strong.
Same reason its common for some woman to want to visually see a partner put a condom on. The reprocussions of child bearing are huge and it takes very little to take extra precautions.
Tell him he should get therapy for his depression. Same for your gf.
Break up and find a connection with another person ?

I don't even talk like this with my best friends or cousins. Some of us have manners.
All this… to train a grown man to take care of his home? No fucking way.
And the fact u expected somebody to care ??
