Well the person that called was a co-worker, hes an older guy that flirts with everyone, I was being friendly with him but I know that I wasn't flirting and when I hung up the phone he asked me who I was talking to so I told him. He said yeah I can tell he flirts wiht you and you were flirting back saying that I was changing the way I laugh and my voice... I know that this isn't true so I defended myself. He hung up on me and msged me saying that I better never talk about him flirting with anyone and that I'm the one that flirts, again Istarted to defend myself and he said he doesn't wanna to me or about the situation and to stfu and hasn't said anything to me since. I don't know how to handle the situation, hes a very dominant type of guy and gets so offended easily. What do you think I should do? I feel like hes gonna go flirt with a buncha girls just to get me back for what he thinks I did :/

Sounds like the major jealous type... and believe me I have been where you are. The thing he needs to understand is that we ARE different and we DO laugh different around people that we aren't comfortable around, I think the differences your boyfriend was hearing in your tone of voice was nothing more than a defense mechanism and you didn't even know you were doing it, much less doing something that was inappropriate. I can see why your man would get upset, but to threaten to flirt to spite you is just childish. My advice? When you don't know what to do, do nothing. Keep walking the line and be a good girlfriend... smile big and give him just enough rope to hang himself with... eventually he will see that he acted hastily by biting your head off. Good luck!
