Hi, Missquestions. I sort of smiled reading your post because of your "fear of bugs of any sort" and trying to kill the mosquito (maybe while he was trying to talk/express his own concerns to you) and then, when you move inside, the roles are reversed and you have trouble understanding why he's still upset about your trying to kill a mosquito. It might not have been the mosquito but that you missed something he was trying to get across or just that a small bug was more important to you than he was at the moment when he wanted you to be focused on him?

I found it interesting that you discussed the phone "I miss you, can't wait to see you" conversation and then went immediately into the mosquito incident where you "act" the opposite. He might not have been upset about you killing the mosquito. I guess if I were in your position, I would try reminding myself (when I can't understand him) that if it looks like "small" things to me, it might not be about what I think it is about and I'd look for recent "emotions" I or he has expressed in words. If a puzzle piece doesn't fit, then often it's just in the wrong place or combination (or wrong piece).
