Sometimes I just don’t like the way my boyfriend talks to me, like he’s not actively disrespectful but he says things that just get so under my skin and I don’t know if I am just being emotional or not about it. So today I get home from work and I was telling him about my day and about a confrontation I had with a coworker of mine. Basically she was trying to get me in trouble and I was explaining how it’s basically impossible for her to do that because my supervisor and boss are in agreement with me, and number two I do literally everything legally by the book in every circumstance so she couldn’t even if she wanted too, and plus I’m insured. There’s laws that prevent that kind of stuff from happening, I literally have a degree where they drilled in my head in college how all this works. Anyways, he’s trying to argue with me, then he makes this statement “I’m going to speak slowly in case you didn’t understand.” Like excuse me???? I didn’t respond to what he said prior to that but because I didn’t near him but because he interrupted me and I wasn’t done talking. Then when I try to continue he gets upset and says you know what? “Whatever do whatever you want I’m not talking about this anymore.”

I don’t know if he was actually being genuine and thought I just didn’t hear him but that sounded like he meant it in a not nice way, and then that other statement just irks me so much. Like he didn’t go to school for this and it feels like he has no respect for my work or the amount of time I’ve put in to actually knowing what I’m talking about. Even if I didn’t know what I was talking about, at the very least he could have waited for me to finish talking so he could understand what I was trying to say. Y’all am I just being emotional and should I let this go? I was basically silent after that and trying to calm down before I talk to him again because I am trying to be respectful and understanding.
