I (23F) just blocked my boyfriend (28M). We’ve been in a relationship for a year, but we were friends for two years before that. Back then, he was the most understanding, caring guy I knew. But ever since we started dating, we’ve been fighting constantly over small things, random misunderstandings, and honestly, it’s exhausting.
Last night was the breaking point.We hadn’t talked properly for 3 days. He told me earlier that guests were visiting his house and that he was busy with office work, so I didn’t say much I thought he really might be busy.
Yesterday, I was at the gym doing deadlifts when my period suddenly started it was already 12 days late, and lately my health’s been off. I had terrible cramps and pain, so I turned off my phone and tried to rest. Later around 9 p.m., during dinner, I turned my phone back on and saw his missed call and messages. I texted him back, explained everything, and he said he was packing for a trip his bus was at midnight.
I waited for his message later, but honestly, I wasn’t feeling okay I was in pain, emotional, and my mood was all over the place. When he finally texted from the bus, I talked to him, and like any girlfriend who’s a little emotional but full of love, I teased him you know, the usual “You don’t give me time anymore,” “You don’t even ask how I feel.” I wasn’t angry, just expressing myself affectionately.
But instead of understanding or comforting me like he used to, he snapped. He said I never understand him, that I don’t value him, and that it was his mistake to call me earlier that evening (when I was asleep after the gym). He said he didn’t want to get stressed right before his trip and then said, “Sorry, I can’t be the way you want me to be.” He also said I overreact too much and that he’s been doing his best, but I just don’t see it.
I wasn’t shouting or accusing him. I was just trying to talk. But he kept repeating the same hurtful things, and I broke down. I ended up blocking him.
Now, I don’t even know what to think. I feel like he’s lost interest in me he doesn’t react to my pictures like before, doesn’t compliment me, doesn’t show that spark anymore.
I still care about him deeply, but I’m tired. I don’t know if I did the right thing by blocking him… or if I’m just being emotional again.
Give me some advice how can I handle this…?
