Valentine's Fight
My boyfriend and I had a petty fight on Valentine's day. And haven't talked since. I don't know how it became a fight actually. I told him I was kind of disappointed about the day, he told me "thank you for ruining Valentine's."I got speechless. I didnt know what yo say because I suddenly got frustrated. It probably was fault for expecting something. I know that he has a lot on his plate right now. But I wasn't expecting anything elaborate. He knows me and that I like simple things. Come on.. I'm still a girl. I want something special on a special day. Not just a distracted "happy valentines day baby" reply.
What hurts me more is that he's ignoring me now. Wth! What is ignoring ech other for days going to resolve? And now, here I am, complaining about it here because I can't rant about it on social media, because my family follows me there abd they're nosy. And I'm oceans away from my friends. Or booze!
Some strawberry Ice cream for me please!

Men are not mind-readers.
If you want or expect something, make that clear, so there is no miscommunication.
You don’t like strawberry ice-cream, do you?!
I've just finished off homemade vanilla ice cream
Anyway, thanks for ur comments guys. My boyfriend is kind of a short tempered. Most times, I feel like i have to filter my words carefully because, i might upset him. And Im a pretty polite person.. We are in a LDR so all I actually want is for us to have a special time together. Costs nothing. Maybe he's upset he couldn't do anything about it. But he doesn't have to take it on me.
And yeah I get that guys are not mind readers and i try to tell him what i want. But, he just makes me guilty. Like its wrong for me to want something.
Coz, if MiMi’s your neighbour, you’ll find yourself with no ice-cream
I’m in a LDR too so I know perfectly how you feel...
P.S You’re very pretty. Your boyfriend should be worried!
Tell me, how could your dogs resist this unless they’re vegetarian?
They'd eat me to get to that
@mimi, thanks. Nice to know someone understands. Here here
Now, hand over all your ice-cream now!
I litre for MiMi and another litre for Art.
I ain’t gonna be sharing no ice-cream with Art!
@molly, yeah, aside from his quirky temper, I have no doubt about his commitment.
Oh boy, i probably need to do some more thinking.
Or am I overthinking this?
While you’re at it, could you make some chocolate-chip cookies too?
Ok ok, only if you’ve got some chocolate-chips left coz I don’t wanna be accused of being pushy!

@ Mimi. I was laying in bed watching TV and your pics of food made me get up and get something to eat. Shame on you.
As for him changing, how long did the sweetness last for after you fist connected? If it was for the first 3 to 6 months then it was probably him being on his best and sweetest behavior till he felt secure that your commitment to making the relationship work, would not faulter if he started to revert back to his comfort place of not really having to put in that much energy to the little things that you so enjoy and makes your heart skip a little from the love you feel when it does happen. It is not unusual for that kind of behavior in many new relationships and can come from both men and women. Unfortunately, there is always one who is left questioning, as you put it,
"And yeah I get that guys are not mind readers and i try to tell him what i want. But, he just makes me guilty. Like its wrong for me to want something. sigh"
and feeling insecure in a lot of ways because the expectation was founded on their first behavior when the relationship was new and not the current one now that the true self has taken back up residency.
If you find yourself regularly having to try to do things to please him and having feelings of inadequacies within yourself when they aren't appreciated then I would be evaluating your position in the relationship and just how it is benefiting you and if it is equal to how it benefits him because if it isn't, then there is something seriously wrong in how you are being treated. Partners should be equal and see each other as such and act accordingly.
It is just how I read what you are saying. Hope it helps. :) <3
Just out of curiosity, what did you do for him on Valentines? Anything?
Honestly, i feel silly having boy troubles af this age. But I dont have much experience. He is my first boyfriend. And only.
His change in mood in the last year, and his lack of communication isn't a good sign.
