I’ve been going through a really rough time recently. My boyfriend knows all about it. He’s wonderful and so sweet, but one night I was talking about my feelings and it was the first time I was able to cry or really feel anything at all in months.

He started to get upset too, because he hates seeing me in distress and the whole situation and all I’ve been going through has really been stressing him out. He began to cry too. But REALLY cry. And I ended up comforting him.

He cried for about an hour over being upset that I’ve been upset. He didn’t console me when I began to cry before him. He didn’t try to console me instead when he knows I’m at absolute rock bottom right now. He didn’t try to after either. Or ask if I’m okay. He just cried, I comforted him, then we went to sleep. 

I’m disgusted and I’ve been so fucking mad. How are you going to make my distress about you??? Of course he has every right to be upset and express that to me whenever he wants but he didn’t try to help me at all, before or after he was finished crying.

Am I rightfully upset that he was so selfish when I was in a serious time of need? Or am I dramatic and just unstable?
