I think I overreacted when I told my boyfriend I didn't wanna talk anymore?

[Anonymous]

I was talking to my boyfriend about having trouble sleeping the night before and he said, were u remembering me? I then told him something about my mom talking to me in her sleep and he replied with, I guess you don't want to remember me. I was tired and sleepy, and told him that I really don't want to deal with his immaturity and unprecedented victim complex, so I don't wanna talk anymore. Did I overreact? This is not the first time he's said something like this, he's even said stuff like, I think u hate me and pretend to love me, I think u consider me a burden, and I was just too tired to reassure him or anything. Was I wrong?

Here is the conclusion I’ve come too after reading what happened.




1. Your boyfriend is a bitch. Why? Because he needs his girlfriend to compliment him by telling him what he wants to hear.


2. Are you wrong for thinking/saying he’s immature? No. Because that behavior is legit childish.


3. He needs to grow thicker skin, if he had thicker skin he would’ve noticed you were simply being honest and NOT trying to hurt his feelings intentionally. And instead of being butthurt like a pussy bitch, he would’ve laughed and tried to instead cheer you up.

The way I read it Yes, you overreacted. Making jokes to alleviate stress is a common practice in relationships. "Don't want to deal with his immaturity and unprecedented victim complex" comes across as way too harsh and sounds like you want to break up with him. I'd walk.

You're a young person and he's also presumably a young person. It's not your job to carry the psychological burdens of another person. You're not a therapist.

This guy is a self centred sulking little twat , dont waste your time with people like this , he has one focus HIM !

No, you were right. He kept making everything about himself. The guy is a self-centered idiot seeking constant reassurance and validation.

What the hell does remembering him have to do with your mom talking in her sleep? The guy is an idiot

Well, I told him that I just kept staring at the ceiling instead of falling asleep, and he asked me if I was remembering him, after which I said my mom was talking in her sleep. He then said that I don't want to remember him? I'm just confused as you are lol

He's trying to be Mr funny and cute guy by making jokes about you not being able to sleep because you were thinking about him. Then when you didn't play along with it and say "oh yeah, I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about you" he acted like he was upset because you weren't getting into his stupid bantering and verbal flirting. Tell him he's too immature and needs a girl who will "butter him up" all the time, or verbally try to inflate his ego
