Eye tie, that is perfect wording. And i am afraid i am "fluffing up someone" because i want a relationship.
I think he is like that too. Like he wont date someone horrible, but will make it work woth someone cause he wants a relationship.
He ended up apologizing and saying his intent wasnt to hurt. That he wished i had said something then in the moment instead of simmering and waiting a week, cause i caught him off guard and he had no idea i was mad and had to go back and remember what was being said. And that he felt blind sided and sucker punched by me. And that hes afraid i am gonna hold a grudge and play games.
I said, i need to trust that i can communicate with him and that i feel like he is anput winning the argument and not about listening to my feelings.
