A week ago I was on a quad with my boyfriend. He flipped it going decently fast, and did a number on my back. We were with friends so I held in tears, because I am a proud person and did not want to appear childish (but gods did it hurt). I insisted we leave quite soon after returning to the farm, and once in the safety of my car I let myself cry. He got extremely mad at me for crying, and insisted that I stop... I couldn't, though, I was in pain--and confused as to why he was so irritated. This went on for quite some time--he said things like "girls from around here wouldn't cry over this", or "that shouldn't have hurt more than a football tackle". It was extremely disconcerting, I've been with him for a year and he is generally a nice enough person. I went to the hospital the next day and I had torn a large muscle in my lower back and was given anti-inflammatory pills, along with pain killers. In addition to this, I'm quite sure my ribs are bruised because any pressure on them hurts--because I didn't mention my rib pain in the beginning he acts as though I shouldn't be allowed to have it. He is still acting as though I wasn't allowed to cry, or be in pain, and if he touches on the area too hard and I say ouch he gets extremely mad at me and accuses me of faking it to make him feel bad... what am I supposed to do? Am I wrong?
