Is this an alright reason to break up? Is my boyfriend being insecure here? Or am i wrong
This is a little long, but i really need someones input.
So i hate bringing up the idea of breaking up. And our relationship was strong, non toxic, no arguments for months. Idk whats happened but tonight my boyfriend was being very argumentative. We were driving doordash for me for extra cash, and he started by getting mad at the way i was giving directions. The whole time getting mad at the way i gave directions and it was like everything i said was wrong. As soon as i asked him to stop yelling, he stopped talking, then magically he said, “wow see how hard that is” magically my directions were perfect. He had 2 beers and was driving me. He would raise his voice, not crazy, but off and on. And i kept asking why hes yelling. My distant friend randomly texted me & brought up going to Vegas for a girls trip this month (mind you, i NEVER go out. I have a toddler at home and i go out maybe twice a year) i told him hey wanna come? And he said no, enjoy the girls trip. Then i said okay. Then he got mad because i said okay and be ause i sounded excited to go. then he started getting into it saying there are gonna be a bunch of guys there and im gonna be dancing with them and everything. I kept telling him calmly im not like that, i would never do that, my friends arent like that and that he needs to trust me. Then he kept going getting mad and bringing up random scenarios that would never happen. Talking about me having sex with guys. Um ew and what were my only responses. (Neither of us have cheated and were both very loyal, but both have trust issues from the past). Then he said “Do you just want to be single?“ “you sounded so happy about going on a with a bunch of single girls”
I calmly said wth are you talking about? Why are you talking like this? Where is this coming from?
And i told him yes i am happy because i never go out, is that a problem? Like whats the problem why are you being so argumentative right now. I was speaking calmly and being nice all night.
THEN he said he feels like i use him. And he said over again that i only think about myself. Which couldnt be further from the truth. I put my son first, and i think about my boyfriend constantly. I think about other probably more than i even should. He was saying he does 95% of the work. Which i dont agree with at all. And isnt true. I have NEVER asked him for money or anything. NEVER he offers and sometimes i accept when it comes to dates or food he always pays. And i never asked for that either.
He is 31, and i am 23 for reference. Im a mom and i dont get much help from my babydad, so i dont have as much money but im working on it. I told him why didnt he communicate this. Then just said idk. Then he dropped me off and said “take your fuckin candy you left here” so i grabbed it. Then i told him “you should stop drinking” then he said “im not even fucking drinking” and he went “not even a thank you?!” meanwhile an open beer in his car (the second beer) and he drove off right when i closed the door.
But obviously i was so turned off and confused and hurt by how he was talking, why would i say thank you after you just gave me shit for the past hour when i was being nice? I was going to say thank you but his demeanor made me just want to escape.
I feel weird. I dont know whats wrong with him. Or where this all came from. I dont know if its the alcohol or him being insecure or what. Ive never flirted with guys while we were together, none of that shady shit. And i have never even asked him for money. Oh, he also said “why would i want to go to Vegas, and theyre all young as fuck” (referring to my friends, theyre 23-27) like was he taking a dig at my age? I feel like me being younger is a problem for him. Weve been together for almost 2 years. Hes usually very loving but snapped tonight. I think he felt used even tho he offered to drive me and because i didnt surprise him with food or anything.
Idk what to do. I need advice. The way he was talking to me though, i know wasnt right and im going to give him space. I never needed a man and i pride myself on my independence. Like im sorry i dont have all the money in the world to spend on him to make him feel appreciated, but i didn’t know he felt that way until tonight.
