hi, i (26F) asked my (28M) fiancé ( of almost six years this year in july ) if he would, if we did have kids, help me unclog my clogged milk duct. i understand this is a hypothetical and i definitely asked him out of the blue, but he went completely silent for almost 30 seconds and then acted like he couldn’t possibly know right now. i got upset and said “well if you can’t answer now how am i supposed to know you’d know in the future?” and he told me that’s not fair, i just asked. i said “okay.” and proceeded to go silent. to which he also said it wasn’t fair that i was getting upset for him not having an answer. i asked him, how is that fair to my feelings when what you’d do to help me in a painful situation in the future is “i don’t know.”
he ended up saying it’s not his responsibility to deal with my feelings on a situation that hasn’t happened yet and i went silent again. i continued, when pressed about it, to say “it’s fine” so i didn’t start an argument which seemed to upset him for a few minutes but we’ve moved on and he’s showing me videos again. i feel shitty for not further explaining myself but if he didn’t understand why’d i’d be upset on a future situation when i explained it the first time, what’s the point of explaining it in the plainest and most in your face way? i feel like that’d make him feel talked down to and i don’t want that either. our communication is usually fairly good, regardless of still having arguments ( which i think is healthy ), but im not sure how to go forward from here.
essentially, im asking if im the asshole because i got upset and didn’t want to communicate further at this time when he said “it’s not his problem” about my feelings in the matter because it hasn’t happened yet?
Please wait...
