So my boyfriend got into a fight abou the stupidest thing. He accidentally cooked his roommate's chicken yesterday. I told him that he should tell his roommate about it and offer to pay for it. He kept putting it off. It really bothered me though because by not telling his roommate as soon as he realized it wasn't his chicken, it seemed to me like he was trying to hide it. I understand that it was embarrassing but putting it off to me just seems to make it worse. Anyways, we got into a fight because I couldn't understand why he would talk to his roommate. And he was tired of me nagging.

 

So the subject came up again today. And he made the comment that if it wasn't for me telling him to he would have talked to his roommate right away. At first I was mad at him for saying that becuase when I mentioned it, the first thing he said was," Brandon says I shouldn't mention it." and I thought that he wasn't planning on it. But then I thought about it and realized that what he said could be and probably was true. And that made me very sad/upset/hurt. It means that I kept him from doing something he knew was right. It showed me that I am a lot like my mom and I vowed never to get married if I was going to be like my mom.

 

I realize that I shouldn't be trying to get my boyfriend to do things that I think is right. But I also know that if it is right, I don't see why he wouldn't do it, whether I tell him to or not.

 

I'm so confused. A part of me tells me that the fact that we're having a huge fight about this shows me that we're not having a healthy relationship. And that this is one of those things that will break our relationship. But a part of me just thinks that I'm having these thoughts because I'm upset.

 

Am I thinking straight?
