Why does my boyfriend gets extremely mad if I dont send a picture or video?

[Anonymous]

Nothing inappropriate but im not a picture person at all. I also work a lot. I am not fixated on pics. When I want to, I will send him one but until then why am i always pressured?

[BarryLiverstone]

You may have been more willing to send a pic before

[Asker]

I've never been the type who likes to. I send him one here and there but I work too much and I am always tired, I just have more important things to do than to sit there on my phone snapping photos every day

[BarryLiverstone]

As I said you may have had a day where you sent some or you wanted to share in the past. Obv he likes that so you set the expectation you would share again. Can you ever remember sending him pics?

[Asker]

Yes. I sent him one just a few weeks ago.

[BarryLiverstone]

There you go. He wants more so he will try things to get them

[Asker]

When he gets them, he skims over them and points out things criticizing me. So I am not all excited to send him more. I drag because I am not looking forward to him doing that

[BarryLiverstone]

Ah that’s why. You mean he doesn’t give positive feedback? You are taking good pics I trust

[sheikalana]

That's childish of him.

Try communicating with your partner instead listening to strangers take guesses.

Has he threatened a break up yet?

[Asker]

No but he has became distant

[BigDog1989]

then i wouldn't worry about it

[Asker]

Why?

[BigDog1989]

Cause he hasn't actually threatened to yet. Thats when you know he's taken it too far, and thats when you break up with him.

[Asker]

Ok so I am not going crazy by thinking he is being childish for being “pissed” as he says, for not sending a picture or video yesterday?

[BigDog1989]

Right. he's just being dramatic, for attention

[Asker]

He just called me a dumbass and mocked me by sounding like he has special needs saying he can't believe I won't send a photo or video. Wow. I said if you are getting that upset over a video or photo, and it bothers you that much, you don’t have to stay. He said ok and hung up. Then what he's going to do is call me later and be like “im sorry I shouldn't have acted that way”

[intovertedguy]

You don't have to send him a picture if you don't want to. It's your right to decide that and he should respect your wish.

[intovertedguy]

I meant he should respect your decision.

[Asker]

Thank you! He asked his friend and his friend said he is being childish. So he apologized to me.
