Anita,
I appreciate the reply. Just to list a few examples; I get very upset when my boyfriend says something and doesn’t follow through with it. It can be something as simple as agreeing to to grab lunch with me or picking me up from a doctor’s appointment. I find that I get truly angry with my boyfriend in a way in which I’ve never experienced. I’ve gotten better in communicating with my boyfriend about my feelings, however sometimes I can not directly say why I am mad, because although it means something to me, I feel foolish for getting mad about it. Recently he rsvpd yes to his friend’s wedding for the both of us, without even asking me if I was available. Why I would like nothing better than to be his date, I was upset that he didn’t check to see if I was available first and even more upset when he took offense to the fact that I wasn’t. It also happened to be the weekend I had told him I wanted to go away with him. I guess I feel as if he doesn’t take me seriously enough or listen enough? I think the main reason why I find myself angry with him, is because, I feel that what I put out, he doesn’t give back. Also, I get mad at myself for not following through on certain things in our relationship. I could continue on and on about this, but sometimes I feel so foolish for thinking with my heart more than I do with my brain.
