Am I a bad girlfriend?

Hey everyone, so I've been on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster lately.
I am completely sleep deprived and due to university exams I'm basically an insomniac and unable to sleep.
I've also caught the flu and feeling really shit in general.
I only get to see my bf on the weekends but he keeps commenting on how moody I've been lately.
I'm getting irritated over the smallest things like, him falling asleep before I do and when I am finally able to sleep he's waking up and watching silly you tube videos - I'm a light sleeper so it wakes me up too.
He's really good to me and bought me some food to cheer me up, but the people fucked up my order and covered it with hot chilli sauce, therefore leaving me so beyond hangry. Especially when he is stuffing his face.
We watched a movie and he got annoyed because I wasn't paying any interest, and he proceeded to get annoyed, huffed and puffed and left my house.

Is it me or him, I can't seem to control my emotions and he's way too sensitive to my attitude.
If he knows I'm annoyed... why does he have to comment on it and push me over the edge.

Well, it sounds like you are very irritated, and it’s affecting him, so why can’t he mention it? It doesn’t sound like much fun for him. Or you - but only you can do something about it!

You can’t control your emotions, yet you think he’s way too sensitive?! Maybe he’s tired of your moods and snappiness and irritability.

It sounds like a bit of both to be honest. You’re snappy and moody, he’s got no patience for it and you're both probably stresses at how it’s affecting your relationship.

Invite him over for a date night, cook a nice meal together and sit with no tv no phones etc. Talk to him about how stressed you are and you’d really appreciate if he could be a bit more patient until your exams are over. Explain you’re not sleeping so if he could not watch YouTube in bed (which I think is actually so rude) you’d really appreciate it.

Does he have or has had uni exams? Surely he understand the stress.

To an FYI people getting my food order wrong enrages me so you’re not alone there :)

It sounds like neither of you are that considerate of each other;
he’s playing YouTube videos without headphones when you’re asleep and waking you up, you’re flipping at him because the takeaway messed up your order... Do you get anything positive out of the relationship?
I’d also suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor about the stress and insomnia- regardless of your relationship problems, you need to look after yourself.

Think you need to take some time to yourself to rest and catch up on sleep. He is not a saint and cannot be expected to put up with your moods no matter what caused them.
The utube thing is annoying that's why you need peace just to recuperate.
