AITA for taking my BF’s response personally?
My boyfriend (26M) came home from the gym in the morning.
He was getting ready for work.
I (29F) was able to go in to work a bit later than normal, so I wasn’t rushing out the door.
This woman went in to talk to her boyfriend.
I came into his room to talk, and say hi for a few minutes since we don’t normally get to do this as part of our routine.
I was mainly the one initiating the conversation during this time because he was getting ready.
He took a supplement, but said he didn’t know what it was for.
He opened a bottle of a new supplement and took one.
I had never seen or heard of the supplement before, so I asked him what it was for.
He replied, “I don’t know.”
She wasn’t satisfied with his response.
I felt that his response didn’t make sense because he spent time purchasing the supplement online.
He must have bought it for a specific purpose.
I felt that he was just trying to brush me off and end the conversation.
A fight started between the two.
I said that he must have bought it for a specific purpose.
But he wouldn’t answer me, and walked out of the room without responding.
I followed him to the kitchen, where a fight began.
He felt like the response “I don’t know” was a good enough answer and all he knew was that it was an ingredient found in Red Bull that helps you relax.
She felt like he just didn’t want to talk to her.
I understand that he probably didn’t know much about the supplement and that he was stressed and in a rush to get to work.
From my perspective, it seems like he just didn’t want to be having a conversation with me in the first place because he was in a bad mood/stressed getting ready for work.
Now, she’s wondering if she was the jerk in the situation.
Couldn’t he have communicated to me that now was a bad time to talk instead of brushing me off and getting angry?
AITA for taking his response personally?
It sounds like she understands that he was in a hurry and she was bothering him.
