Nutshell Scenario: Something happened in my life. Internally I feel emotional chaos, on the surface, I'm doing my best holding it together. He's aware of what's going on. He doesn't like to witness it have such a major toll on me. So, I've shut up about it and pretended to be ok. Recently things took a turn for the worst. I just wanted to vent my frustrations. I wanted affection and a listening ear from him. Instead we end up arguing. I said he wasn't there to comfort me. He feels I didn't consider his feelings and told me I was nit picking him on everything for not responding how I wanted him to and stressing him out with the issue. . It hurts because the one person I can turn to, I've decided it's best to just hide that part of me and move on just so he doesn't feel stressed out by me any longer. I don't want to feel like a burden. I want to apologize and be the bigger person because our relationship is more important and if I lost him too, I don't know what I'd do. But as of now, we aren't talking. And I just want to make things right. I love him and want nothing more than for us to come to a common ground. Any ideas on what to say ??
