Mad over silly things

[aesthetics]

So, I will just get right to the point.

My boyfriend and I just got back together after having been apart for a year, and things were great. He seemed so happy to have me back, and now he seems like he gets mad over the silliest things.

This weekend is Valentine's Day and we have plans to spend the weekend together at a hotel. I told him today that I wanted to go through the week without seeing each other so the weekend will be extra special. He got really upset and said "This isn't like Thanksgiving where you skip breakfast and lunch to leave room for dinner." He hasn't spoken to me since.

Is it a terrible request that I want to refrain from visits until the weekend? Or is he overreacting?

I don't see why it's such a big deal. It's not like you're asking him to be away from you for another year.

It would seem like an odd request if I were in his shoes tbh. I can understand where you are coming from, but on the flip side I can side with his frustration.

Also, depending on how your relationship ended the first time this may be a red flag for him.

Is he serious? LOL. I mean I would think you explained to him that you wanna make it more exciting, but I guess its not what he wants to hear.

And here I thought I got mad over stupid things.

How is it frustrating? It's only a week...

can somebody please explain to me what is up with all these stories of angry guys getting all bent out of shape for small shit and being jealous controlling abusive little pricks?

Its just my personal opinion, I like to see my gf almost every chance I get.

You might want to get over that.

I voted that he's overreacting./. I'd love to hear his side of the story, though. For all we know, you cheated on him the last time you spent a week apart or something like that.

It can't be as simple as this.

Haha, yah probably, I have my whole life to be married and tied down.

Plus, I've noticed that the people that spend every moment together end up fizzling and they break up. There has to be some space.

I'm not voting because I don't see why don't you just cut it down to 3 or 4 days as a compromise.

I felt like that in my last relationship in a way. She wanted to spend all sorts of time together and I wanted to initially as well. After a while i liked having some space now and then but i was too afraid to ask for it because of how screwed up the relationship was.

I was submissive and didn't stand up for myself and got walked on. Live and learn, don't do it twice

It IS just a few days. It's 5, actually. I will see him Friday when we leave for our Valentine's day weekend.

And FYI, I have never cheated on him. We broke up the first time because HE didn't want to be with me anymore.

FYI, I never brought up cheating, Giga did.

Posters have a tendency to leave out important details to get the kind of responses they seek.

Anyway, it's unfortunate this is being made into a big deal because it's going to suck any sentiment there would have been out of the event.
