I think I destroyed my boyfriend when I went on my period

My boyfriend and I got into a massive argument over the weekend. I’m really not sure how to feel at the moment and I know I overreacted. I just want to talk about this. <br><br>The issue started with my boyfriend asking me out on a date but to a restaurant I don’t like. I was having REALLY bad cramps and was just feeling miserable and didn’t want to go out. I asked if we could do something else and he wanted me to suck it up. I refused and he was all like, “I asked you to go out and you rejected me. That makes me feel bad.” I told him, “I’m sorry… I just feel really awful and I don’t want to go out but I’ll suck it up if you really want to go.” But he was all like, “No, then I’ll feel bad that you’re doing something you don’t want to.” So I was all like, “WTF, you originally wanted ME to suck it up and now you want ME to suck it up because YOU don’t want ME to suck it up? Make up your damn mind.” Then he was like, “I was looking forward to going to that restaurant and now you’re taking that away from me.” Honestly I just wanted to go to a restaurant with burgers and milkshakes and just be in comfortable clothes. I didn’t want him to feel bad so I relented and we went. <br><br>I was quiet the whole time and didn’t really talk much. I didn’t want to fight. I told him I was in a lot of pain from my cramps and was in a foul mood but he just shrugged it off and didn’t offer to help with my cramps. I was quiet during dinner and he kept asking what was wrong and I didn’t want to answer and tell him what was wrong (because he’d just shrug it off again) and he got mad that I was being “cold” and “standoff-ish.” I finally just told him, “I’m in a lot of pain right now and I don’t really feel like talking.” <br><br>He got mad at me because he was trying to talk to me and I wouldn’t answer. He told me I was being rude for not wanting to talk to him when he was trying to talk to ME. I told him I didn’t want to be rude but I just don’t feel like talking right now. But he was like, “You always do this. You always get in these moods where you don’t give a shit about anyone but yourself and intentionally blow me off.” I was all like, “I’m in fucking pain right now, that’s why I don’t want to fucking talk.” But he got all huffy and puffy and was like, “Whatever. You always do this and I’m sick of it. I’m going home.” And he got up and left. I was shocked he left but I got up, paid for dinner and went home as well. <br><br>When I got home, I just took a sleeping pill and went to bed. The next day, we texted briefly but he didn’t want to talk. I asked him to tell me what to do in order to fix this and he said he didn’t know and is tired of telling me how to treat him. I asked again what I can do to make things right and he was like, “I don’t know, get therapy to deal with your emotional problems.” I told him, “I don’t have emotional problems.” But he got mad at me and was like, “You’re an emotionally unstable person. You go from happy to pissed off in no time and overreact to everything. You have major emotional problems. That’s why we have most of our issues, because of your stability in moods.” <br><br>Then he started backing off from me. I asked him if we could talk in person and he was all like, “No, I don’t want to be near you right now.” I asked him what I did wrong and he was like, “Everything.” I told him I couldn’t live like this with him backing off from me but not telling me what I did wrong. I asked him to tell me what I did wrong again and he was like, “You made me feel REALLY bad. I feel like shit. You overreacted and were mean and stood me up and made me feel bad.” I was all like, “I REALLY want to know what I did wrong and I REALLY want us to move past this.” And he was all like, “I don’t know what to tell you.” I told him to make up something because I don’t like fighting with him. <br><br>Then he started blaming me for him being upset and backing off. He was all like, “You made me feel bad so you need to give me space.” He also wouldn’t tell me what I did wrong but told me it was obvious and I should know what I did wrong. I told him I don’t want to fight and I want to move past this but I don’t want to live like this. But he was all like, “I don’t want to hide that you upset me.” I told him to make up something but he was like, “No, I’m going to tell you the truth. You treated me bad and made me feel like shit.” He’s been making me feel guilty and I’ve been crying.
