I feel like we have different “rules” and I’m tired of it
I thought things with my boyfriend were getting better. Then yesterday he was bothered that I went to visit another town on my day off that is my “comfort spot” when my grieving state (from my ex-FIL suicide, where I literally heard his body fall as he passed away while I was literally in the next room). So now he keeps referring to it, saying things like “I don’t know who you hang out with there” and how he thinks I just go there all nice unnecessarily, even tho I’ve told him I literally just go to spots that remind me of when he was still alive. He had a baby who passed away and is still friends with the mom out of grief, so I don’t see how he doesn’t get it. It’s basically the same thing. But then if I express anything even remotely negative about her or about him hanging out w her, like if he cancels on me for her, he gets defensive and says I “don’t understand”. So it’s fine if he can grieve and I shouldn’t say anything (but I usually don’t) but he can? Or yesterday I kept leaving him on read by accident because I was in and out of sleep. He mentioned today that he was mad about it and how he wants to know what I’m doing during the day so that if it happens, he’ll know and won’t be mad. But then all day today, he keeps leaving me on read. Once, he said he was busy at work but then he texted a work group chat, so I feel like he could’ve taken a few extra minutes to text me too. Especially since he ALSO insists that “work can’t be that busy” to not text him back when it’s me at work and he wants to talk. Am I overreacting?
