Update: I have approached my boyfriend a couple days after the argument in a non-aggressive manner. I told him that it was very important to me that we work on how we communicate when we’re upset. I suggested some ideas such as no cursing and trying not to use “YOU” statements such as “you don’t care about me”. He agreed with me. He has been extremely stressed at work and I have felt like I’ve been the only one making effort, I have also given him space when needed. He isn’t the same even when we speak he’s not there. Tonight we were talking and he was telling me about work and said that he has pulled away because he doesn’t want his work stress to make him lash out on me. Which I told him I understood but I struggled with until now because he never told me that he was reverting because of work, I kind of just assumed it. BTW we are long distance I am used to calling him in the morning and before bed. Both of which we haven’t been doing this week because of him. I know this is all stress related. Anyways he started arguing with me I bit my tongue and just let him speak I didn’t fight him but he kept going. He continuously called me an asshole, I asked him multiple times not to disrespect me. And he continued to ignore me, I told him if he didn’t quit I would stop talking to him until he calmed down. He didn’t stop, I have turned off my phone because I can’t listen to him anymore. He brought up the same points he made Saturday about me not caring about the relationship because I haven’t applied in North Carolina. I interviewed Tuesday for a position I received. I asked him to help me with my resume so I can start looking for jobs in NC, since I am supposed to visit him on Monday for a week. He agreed to so I am hurt that he has again thrown the same comments in my face about not doing anything for the relationship. He also brought up my ex which I haven’t talked to since we started dating and who I told to stop contacting me when he reached out. He has accused me of being unfaithful when I haven’t.  All I do is study and work, grab lunch or hang out with my friends if I have time to. I am hurt that he gave into his anger already. This makes me scared. I love him and we have both discussed our futures together but Im tired of being yelled at and crying because the person I love treats me like this. I dont know what to do
