I 20 F have a bf 20 M who I’ve been dating for several years. We have fights from time to time like most couples but we fight very differently. I like to sit down, state how we feel, communicate, compromise, and solve the issue. He likes to yell, though, he’s working on it.
Today was one of our bad days (these are quite rare) but we got into 4 separate arguments today. I will detail the other fights in the comments for context and examples if requested.
I was playing a video game and he began talking shit to me out of the blue, like we were quietly doing our own things and he just started??? I don’t remember what he was saying but after fighting all day, getting yelled at all day and being nothing but nice back I snapped. I paused my game turned with tears in my eyes to him and finally yelled at him, “why are you doing this? Why are you being so mean today I’m tired of it! Just stop”! He scoffed, “damn you’re being so emotional. Are you on your period?” That’s when I saw red. I completely lost it, “are you fucking kidding me!?! I have been nothing but nice to you and you have been a jerk to me all day! And the one time I actually express any emotion like anger or sadness or being upset you ask if I’m on my period!? Like I’m not allowed to have or express my feelings unless I’m bleeding!? Are you fucking kidding me!?” I yelled this at him through tears as he got up from his seat. He started walking away and said, “I’m gunna walk away for a bit you’re being a lot”. I just sat there like what??? So idk did I overreact?
