... when I ask him if he is mad?
We're in a long distance relationship, and he can be temperamental sometimes.
Let me sum up what just happened as an example.
He's supposed to be stopping smoking, and he was playing with a lighter, and I half jokingly asked what it was, because I don't like to be too demanding, you know?
And he knew he was caught, so he started holding up other objects, also jokingly, and I called him a liar, in a playful tone.
Well, we just got out of a 3 day fight because of that, because again, he's sensitive sometimes... and LDR's have some insecurity in the trust realm, but we're okay.
It just kind of slipped out.
Anyway, he gave a weird sort of response, and then quieted down. And I was like, uh oh. So I asked if he was mad because I didn't intend to do that at all.
At that point, he was like, "No, when you ASK I get mad.."
Me: ".. I just want to make sure."
Him: "well don't ask anymore"
Me: "but how am I supposed to know when you ignore me?"
Cause he has a habit of not talking. But its hard to tell because we're on the computer and he does other things sometimes. Because at that point he got really annoyed and went off on me because 'he was listening to music'
How am I supposed to know that??
Ughhh. Any advice from long-time wives for dealing with touchy men?
We didn't get to resolve it cause he had to go to the store, but I'm dropping it when he gets back because I don't want to start another fight. It's not that big of a deal.
I just don't like seeing him upset, but I can't ever get him to tell me how he feels.
And I just feel helpless/ clueless myself.
Just for future reference
Thank you everyone who responds/reads <3
