To be more upset than angry that my partner has walked out on me this evening?

[Allthatglitters789]

I have being with my partner 5 years we have had our fair share of ups and downs but always worked it out. He is the father of my two boys aged 4 and 23 months.
This evening around half 7 we had a bit of an argument, he's stressed and keeps taking it out in me by shouting or being very snappy.
I remained very civil during this argument and he finally announced he was 'going out' and that's the last I have seen/heard of him, he's taken the car and turned his phone off.
Am I being unresonable to be more upset than angry with this?

YANBU to be upset. But, it's only been around 2 and a half hours, he probably walked out to calm down/have a think. If things are tense atm it might have been the best thing to do. Is there a reason for him being stressed? You did very well not to argue back.

Before I had dd and was chained to the house I used to do this. It was very calming to drive to mcdonalds drivethru, get a mcflurry and sit on a country road reading my book.

Also once chucked shoes at him and walked around glasgow at about 2am, remember being very angry he didn't come after me haha!

If he is stressed and taking stuff out on you then maybe he is realising this and going out to calm down?

I think it's better to spend a few hours apart when you're in the middle of a row. It gives everyone a chance to calm down.
