I Express Myself Through Writing

My significant other came to me on my lunch, which started at 12pm, with a lot of negativity that started with me not calling him until 12:07. He turned into a big tirade about wanting to have an open life with his partner, he wants to know what's going on with me because he feels the need to give me a play by play of every minute he is not with me, that I don't ask for nor require from him. Seven minutes, and he is ready to break up with me because he doesn't want to be in a relationship like that. I told him that I didn't want to talk to him anymore right now, but really didn't want to hang up on him again, and yes I did hang up on him when he first started in about this ridiculous tirade. I mean, it isn't like he let's me say anything anyway and even if he does he doesn't listen so what's the point.

Anyway, initially I was feeling somewhat discouraged. But then I texted him and told him that I was praying for him, and proceeded to go into detail about what I was praying for him for. I prayed for him to be realistic in his thinking, to be honest with himself, to be able to let go of the mistakes and to find solutions, to be open minded, to be willing to move forward in his life, and to be able to find the blessings in his life.
I don't know that it was a good response, or if he will take it the wrong way...well he just texted back...says he don't need my prayers and that I need to do this or that, it's always like that, I always need to change my behavior or change my thoughts, it's always me that's wrong. All the while I am the one moving forward and learning how to become a better person and live my life in a more effective way.
And still I will pray because if I am busy praying for him, I cannot very well engage in his viscous circle of negativity.

My impression from reading this is that he needs your prayers whether he wants them or not. I only know your side and don’t wish to interfere but if this is accurate, your significant other appears selfish and immature (the two often go together). I hope you are able to withstand the negativity without losing self confidence. My experience here is that there are a lot of ladies who hopefully are, but if not, could offer you support. Sorry if I’m intruding.

Very beautifully stated. Thanks
You don't need my help - you're doing great on your own. Just stand your ground.
