I think I should leave him. He wanted to drive into traffic

I don't want to sound overdramatic but it was a very emotional week and I would like an impartial though

Sister had a last minute micro wedding yesterday. P (of nine years) said he couldnt go due to short notice. I will be honest that I sulked a bit. Not very mature and I regret it but I was disappointed. He turned off his phone even though I was sharing my location with him while driving home. He apologised later but he never turns off his phone.

When I got home I went to check for him as I was worried his phone was off and it was late. I found him in bed watching tv and the long drive/tension/disappointment hit a bit and I explained. He launched into a massive tirade about how much pressure I put on him in life about the wedding and more. He told me he thought about driving his car into traffic yesterday as he couldn't think clearly due to what I expect from him.

We settled everything but I have been awake since 4:50 worrying about him and feeling like a terrible partner. My stomach is upside down and I wonder should I just walk away and give him a break because I can't live knowing I make someone feel like that

Not your problem - he sounds like an attention seeking Manchild.walk away, but with your head held high knowing that you are not the issue!

Do you think you did cause him to feel like that?
Were you actually awful to him when he wouldn't come to the wedding?
Were you surprised when he said that about traffic?

Sounds a lot to me like he was being overdramatic to make you back off, but it sounds like you believe him?
