Am I the one tripping?
Just to give you some info about my relationship my fiancé and I are in a long distance relationship because, he is in the military. We have been together close to a year and we are 30 years old.
Last Friday, my fiancé and I were on the phone and I was expressing to him how I need a self care/mental health day. What’s been going on with me is that I had a family member die recently, a lot of stress from being short handed at my job and a boss that’s disrespectful, a single mother with a special needs child (not his child), whom needs a lot of care. I expressed that I needed a getaway DAY to clear my head and to basically take care of me,pamper me and do some stuff I love. He instantly got into defense mode and said “you are just like the rest of my ex’s your changing on me, why are you trying to get space from me?.” I express the trouble I’m going through and refreshed his memory even though he knew what all I have been going through. I did express I just needed a day to refresh my self. We ended up staying on the phone the remainder of that night till we fell asleep. So the next day we had a regular convo asking each other what were each other plans for the day. When it got to my turn he snap and started crying and a mental break down saying again your changing? I ask him how because usually I am really a homebody unless I am taking my child to have fun but he say what makes you want to go out now . Once again I refresh his memory. Where I went wrong is I didn’t end up going anywhere that day. Days go by and each day we were still communicating and acting like nothing happen. Laughing and joking and having a regular convo. Till one day he just started being mean and bring up all things he dislike about me basically stuff he don’t like that I said or did in our entire relationship and at this point I’m saying wowww we’re is all this stuff coming from. In our relationship we always had a rule if we made the other person feel bad or dislike something someone did, we will address it at that point not just bottle it in. So now he started bringing up he wants space and how I’m a liar and how he personally going through stuff which he end up telling me those things. I ask him for clarification what he mean by space he said he doesn’t know. So everyday for the last few days we talk briefly for between 5-15 mins just checking up on each other. I know he have been out of town for Thanksgiving visiting his family. I have been giving him space and letting him spend time with them . Well this morning he made it back home. I called him this morning and he always been a early bloomer and he still haven’t responded call or even text me back. And we haven’t talk since yesterday morning. At this point should I say we are officially over or what?
