Am I overreacting

My man and I don't have a place of our own and he lives with family and so do I so we are not able to ever stay the whole night together unless we get a hotel room. We use to stay at hotel rooms but it's been months now that we haven't because of the lockdown but now that hotels are open I thought it would be nice for us to stay the night together when I asked him if he wanted to he said. He had to think about it I even offered to pay for half the room .I am upset because I would have thought he would have jumped at the chance to spend the night together. I was so upset that I told him to forget it I don't want to do it anymore you killed the happy vibe .Than he said to me like he always Says to me .Dont start Your non-sense.I am not playing your games anymore all the stupid things you text me just keep running your mouth of yours I won't be putting up with it. For to much longer Just giving you a heads up , when you're crying because I'm gone , remember that big mouth of yours was the reason.

If I'm interpreting this correctly, it's probably time to bail.

I'd just tell him stay with mommy and don't be crying when I spend the night with someone else

Dump him immediately. And your "big mouth" isn't the reason. The reason is that he is a jerk.

@daydeeo exactly
When you invited him his response was unenthusiastic.
You could have said that you could have chosen to mute your expression a bit. Maybe you could have said you felt disappointed and left it at that - which would have left you some time to think about his response. Even so, I understand that at the time it happened, his underwhelming response took you by surprise. I'm guessing it hurt, and in the heat of the moment it was probably hard to see or think of other ways of responding.
However, when he said, "Dont start Your non-sense.I am not playing your games anymore all the stupid things you text me just keep running your mouth of yours I won't be putting up with it. For to much longer Just giving you a heads up , when you're crying because I'm gone , remember that big mouth of yours was the reason,"
there was a much bigger message in it.
He's telling you that he's been very unhappy with your style of communication with him for a long time. He's been building up a lot of resentments and is getting to end of his ability to tolerate it.
You might not be aware that there are other ways of communicating which don't trigger these kinds of reactions. If you're interested, you could look up Marshall Rosenberg's Compassionate Communication on YouTube.
If it were me, I'd let go of that relationship and not contact him again.
However, if you love him deeply and want to stay with him, I'd make the effort to learn to be a better communicator.
All long term relationships require this type of work to survive and have a chance of being happy and successful.

One other point. Although there can be valid mitigating reasons, in general if an adult (over 18-21) is still living at home with his family of origin, it's a sign that he himself is not quite functional. I would not want to be involved with someone who can't earn a living and create his own independent lifestyle.
@hartfire Check her profile... he's just an abusive douche bag... ☹️

Daydeeo is right!! Dump!!!! He's a real jerk. He'll bring you nothing but sorrow. I wouldn't shed one tear over this guy.

Maybe if you had thought to ask what was on his mind when you didn't get the answer you expected. Maybe there was something bothering him that he needed to work through and you getting snippy because you didn't get the response you expected was enough to trip his trigger. I am not saying that his response was any better or right but I see more here than him just deciding he has had enough.

@OogieBoogie My wife is rather insensitive, at some point trying to communicate gets old, it is just another step in being frustrated. Her response is much like one my wife would make, "Oh, you aren't interested in my spur of the moment idea, well screw you then." Maybe it is time for both of them to call it quits.

@daydeeo Maybe he is playing her, that doesn't mean that they both couldn't practice better communication.
@Roadsterrider okaaaaay.

Seems because you can relate to this -Ypure interpretation is different.
Even then... The result is the same.
Feel for you

Of note ... those are all the signs that indicate abuse in the future (physical and mental)

The best path ... to accept that you are not over-reacting ... just being smart
I'd wave him goodbye now - seems to me like he doesn't care about you as much as he should be doing if you were really in a committed relationship...
Find a guy who will be appreciating you daily to be at your side not blaming

Yeah... if he said all that to you... save your money on the hotel room...
He's a coward.

He's trying to blame you for his feelings falling apart.


Abort, abort abort


Oh - and tell him "to go fuck Himself!"

Why do you want to go to a hotel? You guys should get an rented apartment.
Ohh sorry to say but relationship of yours is already gone
