It's probably better then coming home to nothing and finding out through text. Things don't always work out but that's what shapes us as people, bad luck op but I hope you come out stronger.

Did OP do anything to warrant his girlfriend packing up and leaving while he wasn't home without an explanation or warning?

People on this site always take the side of the OP every time. For all we know he has been a shitty boyfriend and this was the first nice thing he's done for her in months.

And maybe she was just packing up her stuff so that when he gets home and she confronts him about the breakup, all she has to do is walk out and take her things instead of packing AFTER they break up, which would be even more awkward...

See, once again coming home early from work doesn't end well. When will people learn?

So, coming home at the normal time and finding out that his girlfriend and all her shit is gone is somehow better?

Maybe she was planning a surprise trip for the two of you and you just ruined the surprise? Seriously though, I can't even imagine how bad something like that hurts.
