Was I jealous, hurt, what happened? My bf of 2 years and I, we've been kinda busy lately, but especially him. We had little time for ourselves, especially because he had to travel a lot and then used relax time to work on a project in the basement.
Friday I told him I felt like we need some time for us, I felt neglected.
Saturday he spent some time with me, but talked mostly about himself. We had a nice convo going on about politics, but he kept pushing the way he sees things and instead of reacting to what I was saying, he kept up his monologue.
Sunday I was swamped with work.
Monday we had a short time together and again he kept dismissing anything I said and pushing his way of seeing things. I cut our meeting short, just coffee together because I wanted to think about things and see how to solve the issue.
We had a date for Wednesday night, just us. On Thursday I would leave on a business trip, for 5 days. It was supposed to be OUR time and I wanted to clear the air.
Wednesday late afternoon, when I was in the middle of work, he texts me that a female colleague needs a babysitter tonight because she has a date and she asked him. He required an immediate answer, whether he can babysit until 11 PM. I was in a conference, couldnt start texting or answering. In the meantime I got angry. I texted "whatever".
He went babysitting until 11 PM for his single mom with 2 kids colleague. He does odd jobs for the kids now and then, too, like repair their bikes etc. He brought HER a small something from our vacation, to which she said she didn't like it. I was allowed to comfort him.
When we talked at 11 PM, I blew up. Maybe I was jealous of her, but I think I would have reacted the same way if he had spent the evening with guys.
Was I right to blow up? I realize I should have said no, don't go babysit, but I would have felt like the ogre girlfriend. I'm really upset and he sees nothing wrong in what he did. - Asked by Female, 29-35
