Are yelling, anger and names ever justified?
Ok guys, so I have been with my boyfriend for about 2 years now. We love each other a lot but are fundamentally different people and both aware of it. Being together has been lots of work since the beginning.
Sometimes, I feel he doesn’t get me so I have these negative thoughts creep into my head that then escalate and I end up saying things in an explosive manner. He is not a talkative person and says he hates to discuss things ALL the time, and I do ask questions quite often to clarify on my thoughts and like to talk things through. Knowing that my negative thoughts may ruin certain moments as he hates to talk, I keep them to myself, until it escalates to the point of me saying things in a more aggressive manner.
We’ve had lots of fights that started like this and he used to be more patient but right now is losing the patience. In fact, he actually said that after our last fight.
I brought up things about some girls texting him that were based on an assumption I had in a not so calm, detective style manner, and he ended up leaving bed also in a not so calm manner and saying I was a “bitch”. He’s never said this before ever. The next day he apologized very casually and to me the apology had to be more thoughtful than that, so we ended up in another fight where he said he was done and I should pack up my stuff and leave (I was in his house). He said he was turning into a horrible person because of everything. I ended up crying in disbelief because he used to be so protective of me and he felt bad and hugged me.
I do realize this is pretty toxic now, but I am trying to figure out if there is anything I can do that will ever change this. I need him to just explain things in a loving manner, and he says there are so many things now that he just can’t anymore.
I think I may have pushed him to the edge, but again, I am not sure if anything justifies this treatment. Has anyone been able to pull through this and find a loving spot again? Or is this a breakup pending any day now? Thank you!
