I haven't asked him directly, but he's said he gets frustrated. Part of him not texting me for a while on Monday was because he was frustrated with the way I talk about myself. He's made it pretty clear that he doesn't like it.

I feel like I'm creating a self-fulfilling prophecy, especially recently. There was Monday morning, when I made him so frustrated and upset he couldn't even text me for most of the morning. And now today, I've been trying to be supportive and coming up with things he can do for his burn, but I get frustrated too when he won't seek medical help for this kind of thing. Then a couple of hours ago I just broke down, and I texted him about it, and I regretted it immediately. I told him to forget I said anything, and now the texts I get (when I get any) are short. I almost said they were sad too, but that could easily be my own feelings imposed. I don't want to push him away but I feel like I am.
