Unlike Rashmi I don’t believe you’re in the wrong here. You have needs and desires, you spoke up that you felt your needs were not being met, and instead of trying to compromise or find a solution, this guy became defensive and invalidated your desires.

I recently did a test called the 5 Love Languages, which breaks down how we communicated love with another person. For me, my love language is Quality Time. It sounds like for you, it’s Words of Affirmation. In identifying your love language, you can better communicate what you need from a partner in order to feel happy with the relationship.
