My boyfriend is a therapist. I love my boyfriend and most of the time he is great. But sometimes he really upsets me. I can't understand how he doesn't understand emotions given the job he does.
I am a human being and I am not perfect. Sometime I get upset with things and sometimes I get annoyed. Today I got annoyed because I said don't put a drink on the wall in the garden because it's windy and it will get knocked over. He made fun of me as if I'm being ridiculous so I said OK do it. Two minutes later both my drink and his drink are knocked over (the cups were plastic so didn't break). I know its not a big thing but I got annoyed for a few seconds and then I got to to make another drink. He was then angry about me getting annoyed. He said he wasn't angry. He said its nothing so I shouldn't have got annoyed and that I'm being unreasonable. It's like he wants me to be a robot.
Now I'm upset. It was something stupid. I was annoyed for a few seconds and then he gets angry. I asked him why he is allowed to have an emotional reaction towards me but I am not allowed to express any negative emotions. He said because I'm being over the top.
My boyfriend is a therapist. I don't understand how he can't see that having emotions, even negative ones are normal. It's not like I started throwing things or screaming at him. I was just annoyed and made a comment saying I said if would get knocked over.
Now he is not talking to me. AIBU.
