I shut my boyfriend out because I felt like he took me for granted (if he doesn't validate his love for me at least once everyday I start thinking like he hates me or he wants to break up). Things have been rocky due to that. Last night I got drunk because I finally started mourning my uncle's suicide two months ago...yah...so boyfriend started a new job and I was concerned about a girl that works with him -- for no reason, he's not a cheater and he hates people lol. Anyways, last night he mentioned her fiance being a guy in the military (my bf is military) and that they started dating when the guy used to work there (uhmm dafuq?!). Obviously I started thinking "omg this girl wants my guy already, what if he wants her too, I'm fucking screwed, etc". So I said "I don't want to hear that." And he responded with Whatever. To him he said it like sarcastically and jokingly, but to me I took it as "Whatever, you're crazy and stupid and I don't want to put up with your crap". I usually shut down for about 30 minutes and then use the silent treatment or hide in a closet, basically anything Childlike that makes me feel like I'm in control of a situation. BUT I only shut down for like 5 minutes and then I APOLOGIZED (yup!) and told him why I felt the way I did and asked him what he meant by his comment. Things calmed down so fast, I'm so proud of myself :) Thanks for listening!
