am i being punished
Disclaimer: This post is a follow up from my previous post, in case you were wondering where you’ve seen this before. Thank you for your time.
My boyfriend(M27) and I (F19) got into an argument recently because he was upset with me for turning my phone off completely for 3 hours. He gave me the silent treatment the entire day after our argument until last night we finally called and discussed it. He claims that if I was able to do exactly that and forget him for 3 hours that I don’t love him at all and that I don’t care for him. He says he’s now going to stop expecting things from me and from everyone since they all just disappoint him. He says my actions never match my words because since I never let him know what I’m doing all the time or am able to just leave the way I did through the phone that I simply disappointed him. I ended up apologizing to him and saying that it was entirely my fault and that I can do better, and if there’s any boundaries he doesn’t like me crossing to express those instead of keeping them in and not saying anything until last minute. I never knew he would have a huge problem with me turning my phone off that way, and for him to give me the silent treatment for an entire day felt like punishment. Now after the discussion he just agreed that we have to do better but that he needs time to “heal” and that he doesn’t feel good to be like himself. Usually wouldn’t a problem as simple as this be solved without it carrying on for the next couple of days? He did tell me he loves me in the end and that he doesn’t want me to cry or feel bad at all. But now it’s the next day and he’s not the same towards me and I’m still feeling extremely guilty. I have no reason to feel this way if I already did my part and took the blame yet I still do because he’s giving me the cold shoulder. Is this another tantrum…..?
