[quote=Anonymous]^^ Thank you PP.  This is OP. Yes of course I know I was too trusting and believed him when he said he said he got the date wrong and apologized etc etc.  I gave him the benefit of the doubt and things were great again, until they weren’t. My question last night was Why would a grown man act so childishly. (Yes I know - why did I believe him .. a related but different topic.)

I reflected and each instance of him pulling a stunt seemed to be related to something I did.  Like for example we were newly dating and I low-key asked him to do something nice for my birthday.  His birthday falls on a major holiday.  Through other things he’s said, I’m realizing he probably didn’t get much attention growing up on his birthday.  I think the birthday thing irritated him.  But instead of just going through the motions or whatever people usually do, he handled it in his own unique way. I guess you’d call it micro-punishment.  Weirdly he did not break up with me. It was like the little punishments would even the score so we could get back to dating. On his terms.

Anyway, thanks to all who commented.  It was a stupid situation and I do need to reflect on my role in it.  This post helped to crystallize what happened and put it behind me.
