Lucas Spronson was high on drink and drugs after a visit to the German market in Birmingham City Centre and in a taxi with another couple when violence flared on December 15, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard.
He and his partner had been in a three-year relationship during which the girlfriend had learned he had a dangerous temper.
They were sitting opposite each other in the cab when he accused her of being unfaithful and suddenly punched her hard in the face three times, said Mr David Swinnerton, prosecuting.
