Fiancé is distant after a huge fight, says he is trying to work through everything
Me 25f and my fiancé 27M got into a huge fight a few weeks ago and ended up splitting up. I have a bad habit of whenever I am upset with him I pack all my shit and leave. I did this again and he told me this time he wouldn’t take me back. I’m 27 weeks pregnant and it’s been a rough pregnancy. I’m hormonal and the argument was because he went to his sisters house til 1am (i stayed home because i was very tired) and I had to go to the ER for something and he wasn’t there. I was upset but he couldn’t have known I was going to go to the ER. Regardless I got mad and packed my stuff and left and he told me to stay gone because he’s tired of chasing me. I went off on him and we exchanged unkind words with each other. I threw my ring.
A couple weeks went by and I realized I should not keep packing my stuff and that my behavior lately has been impulsive and completely emotional. I started medication for this and did some self reflecting and we tried to work things out between us because this is the first time where I’ve taken responsibility for an argument. Usually he does. It was a wake up call for me. He is no longer affectionate, communicative about his feelings, he’s distant. Today he texted me and said “I know I’m distant right now but I want you to know I am really trying to work through everything.” He is cold and emotionless, not like himself. It’s giving me so much anxiety that my OB started me on medication because I quit eating for weeks and lost 12 lbs. I know he cannot help how he feels and how he reacts. I’ve been in his shoes where I am distant at times, you can’t help how you feel. How can I help him work through it? I feel right now I am too clingy and affectionate. What can I do to make this better?
