What should I do?
My bf & I have been going through some hard times over the past few months (I believe a lot of people have). Ever since the pandemic started we have been together every single day, and having arguments with one another, constantly. To make a long story short, I started having (which is what I believe to be) extreme anxiety. I have epilepsy, and when I’m stressed I begin to have episodes (small seizures) in my sleep, the anxiety caused my episodes to happen more often. My mom was having some medical concerns that added to my stress. I also started nursing school on top of all of this.
In the middle of all this, my bf was released from him job, due to the pandemic. I was helping him financially as much as I could, with food & things he needed to get by.
About 3 weeks ago, my bf knew that I was going through a lot of stress, so he said, if you need a break, I can give you a month to get yourself together. When he said that I immediately thought he needed a break for himself too. Last week he brought me a teddy bear, which caused me to reach out to him (we’re not kids, I’m 29, he’s 31). We met up yesterday & he went off, he was upset saying that I just left him and didn’t reach out to him, he felt a lone, and like I didn’t care at all. I told him he knew everything that was going on with me & he was the one who brought up the break idea.
Now he’s saying he needs time to himself. I just want to know do you think I was wrong for not reaching out to him in 2 and a half weeks after he said to go on a break? I wasn’t planning on letting the break go on forever, and I only felt that we needed some time apart because we were arguing almost everyday over stupid things. What do you think I should do?
