Hello!
Wondering if anyone can advise please. I have been in a relationship for a number of months now.
My partner is used to doing things his way and, in my opinion, struggles to listen to other people’s opinions. He is very headstrong and at times this can be a good thing, but recently it is becoming difficult. I didn’t call him out on things during the honeymoon period, but now I am starting to because I want to see a future with this man.
We live separately at the moment. Him in his own flat and me at my parents. We are discussing me potentially moving in at springtime, when his lodger moves out.
I am going to his for Christmas Day this year. Along with his Nan and his Mum. He is cooking for us. He recently just wanted to start decorating his living room.
We were on the phone together tonight and he mentioned about it. I personally feel that with 10 days to go until Christmas, it is not achievable for us to strip the wallpaper, prep the walls, fill in the holes, sand the walls down and then paint (before I moved back to my parents, I had previously completely renovated a three bedroom home).
I literally said to him “I’ve been thinking...” and he sighs and does this tone of voice “thinking what..?” Then gets a little bit shitty with me. I detected he was agitated and told him not to worry. He then kept nagging me to say what I was going to say. I wasn’t really feeling it after him being dismissive, so the telephone conversation ended.
I then get these texts from him, see attached. It is something so minimal, but he glosses over the fact that he got agitated for no reason other than me trying to share my opinion.
I’ve had no apology or anything for his behaviour. Am I being too sensitive?
