The problem with driving decisions based on emotion is that our emotional status is often quite erratic and mutable (not to mention, affected by many more variables than our partners' behavior), but we tend to forget that and proceed to project our current emotional state both backwards and forwards. You screw yourself up royally if you deny or obscure your emotions, but you solve that by accepting them from moment to moment as a *factor* in the situation, not enshrining them and then bowing down to worship, or worse, expecting others to do so as well.
