Long emotional day in regards to separate situation.

Person 1 wants food cooking that was bought today

Person 2 says they arent hungry

P1 - complains that P2 promised the meal

P2 - fine I'll make it but i don't want any. I'll just cook it for you

P1 - i don't want it if you aren't having any (starts moaning and storms off)

P2 - I'm tired and im going to bed.

Person 1 then goes off for a walk to calm down. Person 2 txts to apologise because they are stressed and asks P1 to come home because they have a history of self harming when syressed. They agree to come home

P1- are you in bed?

P2 - yes im having a nap now. Im tired

P1- then im not coming home then

P2 - why? Yoh said you were

P1 - if youre asleep i'll be bored at home. I'll just stay here.

Person 2 is now unable to relax or sleep because P1 wont come home.

Any views?

Whether someone wants to eat or sleep or go out, it's completely up to them. But P1 and P2 sound as inflexible as each other.

These two people should not be together.

Make it stop!

I couldn't stand this - just end it.

I can't do anything on my own. P1 constantly wants me to be by thier side. It's tiring.

I realised I worded this all funny. Is there any way to start over?

I think putting aside your argument today, you should establish some ground rules about things like storming off.

Given their history of self harming it's understandable you would be up all night worrying. So in addition to stonewalling the conversation and escalating / dragging things on, it leaves P2 worrying.

It feels like a small argument over something trivial, maybe if they took an hour out in a different room and regrouped you could discuss it and move on.
