Bf left because i did not share my food. Should i try to get him back again?
I(25f) have been along with my bf (26M) pertaining to 3 years(going on 4) and we’ve lived with each other for 2. I love him a lot and i really thought we’d get married but he has simply left me.
Basically i don’t like sharing our eating utensils or letting people eat from the plate. It’s just something that’s always been in me personally since i was younger. My mum would often obtain mad at me because she took it as me being mean and cold. I can’t clarify it, it’s just unsettling for me. Anyways my bf always tries to put his hands in my food & constantly asks me in order to feed him from our spoon/fork. I always say no but offer to dish some out if this individual gets a separate plate etc . Sometimes he complies but other times he just will get annoyed and says he doesn’t want it anymore. I’ve explained multiple times so can understand it’s not personal and it’s not that i don’t love him, it’s just a thing for me. I think it might be important to note that i also don’t such as full on kissing, always a peck and this annoys your pet too.
Anyways everything came to a head this morning. It’s my birthday and brought me breakfast in bed. I was extremely grateful so when i started eating he or she asked for some of my cooked beans. In a kind method, i said no worries go get a plate & shell & i’ll give you several. The mood change was so crazy. He looked so angry but he or she didn’t say anything. He got up, flipped the meals tray over and started packaging his things. I just kind of sat there in shock for a good 2 minutes then i started panicking wondering where he was going. This individual basically said fuck away, we’re done & a few rude things i will not mention. I know it’s because i didn’t share but i feel he should respect my boundaries.
He ended up leaving & going home to his parents house(his sis told me) plus honestly i don’t know what to try and do now. It’s not something i realize changing & i’ve been this way as long as he’s recognized me. Do i let him be?
