[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just had a big fight with my boyfriend. It’s our first fight. We went to an event a few days ago and I felt like he was flirting at it and it upset me. I shutdown for two days. And then reached out to say what bothered me. He was furious with me and said it was not ok that I didn’t talk for two days. I’m open to talking about how we fight in the future and what the parameters are.

During the fight I wanted him to pause and just listen to me and understand how his behavior made me feel insecure and humiliated. But he just didn’t have bandwidth to care about my feelings.

This scenario is familiar to me from my past. [b]In the heat of a disagreement my partners can never show up for me and say I hear you, I’m sorry.[/b]  Am I expecting too much?[/quote]

You went dark on him for two days. You don't get to unilaterally dictate when and how someone shows up for you and apologizes to you. I mean, seriously? You think you can just not talk to him for two days (which is incredibly childish, especially for something as innocuous as you thinking he was flirting with someone!) and then get mad that he doesn't immediately tell you he cares about your feelings.

You have A LOT of growing up to do, so I suggest you do it before getting involved in another relationship. [/quote]
