oppath Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Yeah, I didn't get taking a jab at him either. He called to work things out and you try to make him feel bad by rubbing it in his face that you went someplace without him and ate his favorite meal? What the f*ck is that about? If you are bragging or want validation, saying "look at me, I put him in his place" you are wrong. It sounds to me like you have a loving, compassionate man in your life. When you finally communciated how your birthday was important, he immediately compromised. Why hang up on him? Why rub things in his face? Bottom line, is you will have fights in your relationship, especially over logistics. To have a misunderstanding, and then adopt the attitude "screw him. It's all on him to make it right." is really unhealthy. A better attitude is to say "we were both upset and dense, I'm sorry for my part, I felt upset because x,y,z are important to me and I didn't feel you were validating that. Let's compromise and move past this."
