Hello,
I also agree that you do have the right to get mad in most of these situations and given the fact that it is your first relationship, there is a long road of learning and growing that can be done on both sides. Believe it or not, none of is perfect, we all make mistakes and hurt people we love. There is an old saying ‘Do you want to be right, or happy’ ? 🙂 I am not saying that you should put the problems under the carpet, but What I like to do, when having a conflict with a person, is see not the problem itself, but the willingness of the person to work things out and to invest in the happiness of the relationship. Cause there will be broken promises, misunderstandings, fights, different views as long as you are together. As long as you are on the same page about the important things in life and willing to work out the details as much as possible, compromise is great option.
Do not take advice from ‘friends’ who’d say ‘I would never put up with this, though. An outside opinion is always welcome, but in my experience those same friends put up with much worse. Find your own way of judgement and dealing with problems. Follow your intuition even sometimes.
Start with the good old conversation and see where it goes… I sincerely wish you a lot of luck and love in your life !!!
