The user, though he understands that his girlfriend might have some unresolved trust issues from a traumatic past relationship, is in the right for not wanting to hand out his SSN. An individual's SSN holds the key to their identity on paper, and if that number makes it into the wrong hands, his life could get a whole lot more difficult.
It would be a slightly different story (but not by much) if she had asked for this information when they first started dating, but they'd already been dating for an entire year. If she was suspicious of his hereabouts and the possibility of a “double life," she would've expressed more concern off the bat. But, even then, going around and asking folks for their sensitive information is not normal, nor does anyone have to actually comply.
You know someone a little bit after spending an entire year with them, but not enough to expect them to put their identity at risk. This is why social security numbers exist—to ensure you are who you are. This user's girlfriend throws an ultimatum at him, but he remains steadfast in his decision to keep his private information private.
