When My Boyfriend Lost His Job, Everything Fell Apart: Was It My Fault?

My boyfriend, Mark, was picking me up after work. It was winter, and the cold air matched our bad moods. As I got into the car, I could tell something was wrong. We started talking, and I noticed he was unusually quiet and tense. When I looked closer, I realized he was holding back tears of anger and frustration.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, concerned.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly and said, “I lost my job today.”

Before I could respond or offer any comfort, I blurted out, “I’m hungry. Can we get something to eat?”

That was the breaking point for him. He exploded with anger, his voice rising with each word. “You know what? I don’t even know why I’m still with you. You never listen to me, and you never support me. I’m sick of it. Sometimes, I think I should just break up with you.”

His words hit me like a punch to the gut. “Mark, that’s not fair. I do support you. I work hard and bring in most of our income. I’m trying to make things work for both of us.”

He scoffed. “You think just because you earn more, you can call all the shots? It’s not about the money. It’s about being there for each other, and you just don’t get it.”

We sat in silence for a moment, the tension in the car thick enough to cut with a knife. I could feel my own anger rising. “That’s not true, Mark. I’ve always been here for you, and I don’t deserve to be treated like this just because you’re having a bad day.”

He turned to look at me, his eyes filled with frustration. “I need some space.

That night, we didn’t talk much. The weight of his words hung over us like a dark cloud. As we lay in bed, I turned to him and said softly, “I’m sorry, Mark. I didn’t realize how much you were struggling. Let’s try to talk more and understand each other better. We can get through this together.”

Now, as I reflect on everything, I wonder: Did I do something wrong? How do you see it?
