AITAH for getting mad at my boyfriend for shooshing me?
my boyfriend and I have been together for 1.5 years. we’re both 28 and I’m a woman.
we had a stupid argument today that escalated too much. we were arguing about some communication issues that we have in our relationship as we were walking back to his parents’ - as soon as we approached the door, he shooshed me out of the blue. I get that he didn’t want us to argue in front of his parents, but I found the shooshing extremely disrespectful and got mad over it.
as soon as we entered the place and got some privacy in his room, I confronted him. I told him firmly that what he did was unacceptable and that I’m his girlfriend, not a dog or a kid for him to treat me like that. then things escalated: he said that I was extremely disrespectful coming at him like that and that he won’t accept this type of behavior coming from me. up until that point, I was being firm, but wasn’t disrespectful.
here’s where I might be the asshole: after feeling like he was manipulating the situation so he would be the victim, I said that the shooshing was a son of a bitch move from his part. he got super mad and said that I was being aggressive, disrespectful and that “he doesn’t want no slut in his face confronting him like that”.
needless to say, i felt incredibly disrespected and packed my things to leave. he tried to half-ass aplogize saying that he didn’t call me a slut, that he only used the word because this were already bad and I threw in the SOB accusation. but i left.
we have had multiple issues in the past, I know that I’m also not super easy to deal with, but this crossed a line for me. I’m here debating whether this is salvageable. any advice would be much appreciated.
