Can't Handle So's Moods

[TinkerG]

I told him that he needs to see if I am having an issue before assuming that I am stressed. He said that he knows how I feel and he doesn't need to ask. So, that makes this a little harder on me. My sister feels like he has internalized this and made it his thing. Maybe he has undefined internal boundaries?

I couldn't tell you since I don't know him. But I would re-iterate that asking is preferable because you are trying to learn to relaxation techniques and need to assess the situation yourself before turning to others. And I agree with Silver, you definitely need to have a calm discussion.

Thanks for helping. Right now he doesn't want to talk so I'm just hanging out with my sister.

This is such a weird place for me mentally right now.

You didn't change from yesterday. You changed from the original relationship dynamics. Your boyfriend never had to step up to the plate. Now he does and even though he was able to do so for 5 minutes, he's still struggling with the change.

He's making the assumption that since you want his support that you must want it and appreciate it 24/7------well, support never works that way.

I hope you can give him Time to adjust and that he can give you time to adjust to the new dynamics.
