Feeling so rubbish today. My partner was having an argument with his parents as if he were a stroppy teenager, then stormed out the house and gone out! I've told him I don't appreciate him taking his bad mood out on me, when I already told him this morning when I woke up that I felt rubbish today (not that he seemed to care at all...). I just feel so miserable, he told me he wouldn't help me tidy up our part of the house (we live with his parents while he finds a job) which he said he wouldn't before he stormed out. I just feel like screaming. Or going up to our room and hiding in bed and crying for the rest of the day. I just feel so lonely and sad. He is always so caring but lately he has been acting like such a child to everyone. It's like he doesn't even care about that I'm having a really rough time with my depression since I got out of hospital and started on my new meds. It's not like i'm using it as an excuse or want him to treat me differently, I just wish he could be a bit more considerate and not so selfish all the time. I just want a hug

I'm sorry your boyfriend is acting this way. Have you sat down and expressed all this to him? I know when my boyfriend acted this way it is because he was feeling miserable as well. Men exhibit these things differently than woman, usually they don't talk about it and it can come out as anger or indifference.
I think you two should sit down and talk about how he's making you feel and hopefully he will understand and open up to you. Feel better, love!

Did he come back yet (and apologize :-) I'm sorry you are lonely, sometimes we have to take or at least ask for that hug. My husband and I have a few "tricks" to let the other know we want a hug, special places we can stand or ways we can act and they will know. Sounds like your boyfriend needs a hug if he's fighting with his parents and stuff.

I think when guys are upset are unhappy they cop attitudes. My husband does stuff like this and it angers and upsets me. Last night I just ended up arguing with him. I asked him why he was being so mean to me, especially as I wasn't feeling well to begin with. After we had the argument it cleared the air and he apologized. Of course we have been married for 28 years so we are used to each other's dispositions. Depression doesn't make any of this mess any better either. Big hugs to you.
