Angry Over Dumb Things
Last night I came home from a long day at work and greeted my boyfriend. The way he greeted me back was a simply “hey” and he kept playing on his phone. His tone read like he wasn’t excited to see me and I got upset and said nothing to him. I just dropped my stuff, got ready for bed, and laid down. He tried to ask me if I was alright and I just told him that I was tired and wanted to go to bed. He proceeded to tell me that he thinks I’ll be fine come morning and that he’s going to go bed too, and if I’m not fine he’s going to be pissed off. I haven’t said a word to him, he hasn’t said a word to me. I keep thinking that because he didn’t respond to me in excitement he doesn’t care. It spiraled out into me thinking about the little things that have happened throughout the past couple days. Ex: I left him a little note with those rubber band bracelets I made for him and he moved the bracelets to a safe place but never said anything about the note. Ex 2: On a different day - I pulled a little necklace vial out of the box he keeps it in and put it back on a chain. I used the chain to make a little heart and left it sitting in a very obvious place with a little note as well. The note and chain have not moved. It’s been nearly a week. This was after an argument, so I don’t think he wanted to talk to me and wanted space. However, he still hasn’t said anything to me about it. Not even a comment like “I saw you put this there - it means something to me” or whatever. I know these things are little and I know he responded to this way me not because of me but because he just wasn’t in a good mood but I can’t help but internalize it and think he’s constantly mad at me, he hates me, etc. I feel unappreciated, unloved, and like he doesn’t care. Can anybody please help me?
