what was up with this guy??

Hey everyone,

I've been thinking lately about a past relationship i was in that ended 7 months ago.

The guy i was with had some strange emotional issues. He was a VERY sensitive guy that had control and trust issues. I had to walk on eggshells being with him because everything i did and said made him distant and angry towards me! It was something i wasn't used to and i didn't know what to do! The thing is, is that i had to suck up everything he did and said to me that was offensive and if I didn't "feel better" after a certain amount of time he thought was deemed necessary, he would get an attitude with me and tell me i need to control my feelings and not let stuff bother me! Isn't that a double standard?

He also liked to pick fights over everything! Ex. He called from work telling me he would be home in 5 mins and to meet him outside...no problem...i waited for him to call and the phone never rung. After 10mins I went outside and he was sitting in the car mad asking me why i didn't answer the phone. I told him it never rung and he said it was busy and he kept calling. He was almost accusing me of deliberately not answering the phone! He stormed inside and didn't want to have nothing to do with me or the food i made for him! What the....?!

Another incident occured during a BBQ. He got a call for a job offer from a restaurant and asked me if I could watch the ribs we had going outside so he could check out the job. I told him, "No problem. You go ahead i can take care of it. They'll be done when you get back" He said, "ok" and sat on the couch for a minute just sitting there. Then he got up, walked into the room with an attitude not saying anything. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "nothing, you said you can handle it right? Why am I even here if you don't need my help?"

wow..i couldn't take it anymore. I told him the relationship was over. What was up with this guy?? He was even talking about marriage two months into the relationship and was making all these plans. He was asking me to use my credit to purchase the rings and all. When I told him no about that, jumped on that attitude again (this was early in the relationship). I never encountered anyone like this. At first i really thought i was the problem. What was wrong with him?
