Then I blew up at how he didn't really care about me or he would have addressed his problems and not have made me cry and be hysterical over this.
One thing I learned in therapy....NO ONE makes us do anything. It's how we respond to whatever touches our lives, but the other person doesn't make us respond the way we do. It's our own background & our own personalities that make us respond the way we do including anger.

Not saying that some response wouldn't be normal, but when we take it to an extreme, we are the only ones who have any control over our behavior.
