Well, I'm deeply in love with my ENFP boyfriend. He's pretty much perfect for me, and my best friend. He's a catch, and there's no way on earth I'd want to let him go.
For a while there, however, we were getting really frustrated with one another, arguing and having lots of physical and emotional frustration within the relationship. For about a week I didn't see him, I hardly spoke to him, and often ignored him. I displayed the typical doorslam behavior, the kind that's helped me end so many friendships. I'm not sure why I did it, but I felt like I was being attacked and I "gave him distance" for a while.
It was too long, really, and soon we missed each other terribly. He called and basically begged me to please, please talk to him and see him. We spent a day together, a day filled with mostly talking, and we resolved our arguments. He's feeling peachy keen, and he hardly even thought something was wrong in the first place, he was just irritable because of the heat.
Well, he's fine, but I feel terrible. I'm really hurt. When I was overwhelmed I tried to force him away, but it makes no sense. I love him, and I needed his support most just then. Even though he's fine now, I still hurt his feelings and I feel like an awful girlfriend. I just don't understand why I pushed him away, and I'm afraid it will happen again.
Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone have any answers for me? I'm curious.
