Do I Have The Right to Be Upset?

Denise

So I’ve been a little moody and upset with my roommate for the last few days.

Recently, she’s smitten with someone she has met in a dating app and I’m happy for her. To be real, I just don’t care, have fun live your life right.

But for some reason I feel excluded and unimportant like this person she hasn’t met is priority no.1 now. Not saying that I want all

Her attention or time. That’s not it

It’s just as soon as she gets a snap or message from this guy it’s like stop let me answer this or (and I can’t stand this) let me take a selfie for him in the middle of the conversation.

Example: I got some real bad news yesterday and I wanted to talk about it. As soon as I opened my mouth to say something. Her phone went off and she immediately started texting him. I don’t know if I’m overreacting or what: but I got so mad that I just stopped talking.

She went on to say “I’m listening.” But are you really? I just want 2 minutes of eye contact, undivided attention, so I feel like what I’m saying is important or matters.

Then proceeds to get upset with me and saying “active listening doesn’t require eye contact. I’m listening to you even while I’m on my phone.” That’s not the point. I just want your undivided attention so I could talk about what the problem is having was. At least treat me like I somewhat matter.

I dunno am I overreacting? Is is me just going on passive aggressive rampage for no reason?
