Is bf exaggerating?!

My mom had a migraine and my bf wouldn’t stop talking so I asked him if he wanted to go for a ride with me so we can chat and listen to music. And he said I’m gonna go home you guys don’t want me here I’m not gonna bother coming over next time.

I found his remark a little exaggerated. Was what I did or said really that bad?

He ended up going for the ride and then enjoyed it and wanted to go longer but was complaining first.

He probably just didn't want to be a third wheel and felt like he was in the way. He also is probably trying to avoid any codepency or coming across as needy, both of which are bad.

It shows respect I think.

@GohantheThird hmmm didn’t think of it that way I wonder if he was being more respectful or not being understanding?

@Fifidog I'm sure he understands. You need to take care of your mom, so he opted to get out of the way rather than make things worse. He also probably isn't the greatest communicator, which explains why he said it the way he did.

Give the guy a break. Obviously he needs work, but let him make it up to you later.
