Hi everyone I joined these forums because honestly I don’t have many people to talk to, even more so who would fairly tell me if I am right or wrong. My bf and I just had an argument, it started when he came in from a class saying he realized that he has little to no way to manage his stress. We live in a travel trailer with our 4 kids and our dog, so I told him I understand him, but he continued to say that I don’t understand him because I am a woman and I can deal with more of this because I am meant to nurture, which didn’t upset me I actually agreed. He brought up that he can’t listen to his own music, do things on his own time, or even go out on his own.Which honestly is but is not true. You see as far as his music goes he has ear phones just as I do, but as for going out on his own I tell him sometimes if he needs to then he should. But when the time arises there is always an excuse for why he doesn’t - he says he doesn’t want to leave our son alone with all females, says that he is a family man and doesn’t want to go alone, says he feels guilty or that we can’t afford it. In which I told him(because someone shared with me) that if I can’t take care of myself mentally I can’t be of any help to others around me, meaning he shouldn’t feel guilty for needing some personal time but he gets ANGRY with me, tells me I don’t know anything, I don’t understand him, that he can’t talk to me and that it’s always the same with me and because of that he will never talk to me again I don’t even know what I said or did to upset him, because I was agreeing with him the entire time. This happens so frequently that at times I feel alone and try to stay as quiet or try not to add into a conversation, because who knows when he will flip and tell me I know nothing
