So my boyfriend (26M) and I (25F) had a great morning this morning before our woke up. We had intercourse, we cuddled, and we just vibed. But once the kids woke up (ages 4 & 5), it was downhill from there. He was very irritable the entire morning and even yelled at our son while brushing his teeth and w as just overall talking to our kids in a very irritable and negative way. He said he was overwhelmed and he hadn't yet taken his medicine. I asked if he wanted a break and he told me no. He continued to be irritable and even at one point said "everyone ignores me and then wonders why I'm pissed." I asked him again if he wanted to go to a quiet place while I handled the kids. He again told me no. Later on I asked again for a THIRD time and he again told me no. Then when I finally got upset with how he was acting, I called him out on it and told him to stop. He immediately said that I was ignoring his needs and I wasn't giving him what he needed. I asked him what he needed and he said he needed a quiet place to decompress. I asked him 3 TIMES if he wanted to be alone and in a quiet place and each time he told me no. I told him this and he immediately got mad and defensive and it turned into an argument. So I ended up yelling and told him that "nothing makes him happy and all he does is complain." Because he does this often where he says I ignore his needs and dont listen to him. It's like if I don't give him what he wants, I'm the bad guy; I do give him what he wants and I'm STILL the bad guy. But me saying that made him even more mad and he told me "the opposite of this would make me happy." Then he left out the door. So I have to know, AITA in this situation? Should I have handled it differently?
