Did we fall into an old pattern? A little. I wasn't angry about it, didn't raise my voice, didn't cry just wanted to let him know what I needed, and that's difficult for me. I always feel I'm being unreasonable.
What pattern are you talking about here, because I'm not seeing anything negative on your side.
What exactly upset you about this encounter? Was it the fact that he got upset when you stated your needs? If thats the case you need to let him deal with his problem and smile because you sound perfectly healthy to me.
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
