It got very serious fairly quickly, and stayed that way until I mentioned that I hated someone he was close to, and a week or two later said something else without thinking that he took seriously. This was six weeks ago. He says we're currently friends and he needs time before things can get back to normal [something he said about two weeks ago, maybe a little longer], and granted, we've been arguing about it since then, and I may have been a lot pushier than I should have. But at this point things are more strained than ever and he's pissing me off. Should I give him two or three more weeks to calm down without asking or trying to argue about it, or is this idiot just screwing with me? Reply to this Question

He knew full well I wasn't going to like them, and asked why I couldn't stand them, so I answered. It's not my way to dance around and hide the truth, even if it's unpleasant.2: I'm a naturally aggressive person. He knew that too, and actually said it was a reason I interested him. 3: I was never abused or abandoned as a little kid, so there goes that idea. And no, at the moment I don't have a lot of respect for him. I'm extremely ticked and don't feel like begging his forgiveness anymore, since he just gets irritated when I try to apologize and can't let the past go. I was wrong, I admitted it, I wouldn't do it again, and if he wants me gone for just something I said I have a right to get irritable about it- albeit maybe not to his face.4: How in the hell does being happy around someone right off the bat translate into a sign of abuse?

1: The conversation turned to someone I can't stand. He knew full well I wasn't going to like them, asked me why I can't stand this person, and I answered, because it's not my way to dance around and hide the truth even if it is unpleasant.
2: I'm naturally an aggressive person. He knew that too, and actually said he liked it and it was one of the reasons I interested him.
3: I was never abused or abandoned when I was a little kid, so there goes that idea. And right now, no, I don't have a lot of respect for him, I'm extremely ticked and don't feel like begging his forgiveness anymore when he's only going to get irritated by it and not let the past go.
