I think the last answer has just answered my problem. OMG what a fool I have been. I talk to my LD boyfriend every day and we talked last night about talking too much and that he has to pause everything to talk to me. I never thought in a million years he would see this as him checking in with me or smothering seems it is. I think I need to wait for him to want to talk to me. I would talk all night for hours if I could. When he said this to me I took it to heart and thought I wasnt important in his life. God what an overeaction.

That he retired early without explaining himself and you getting upset, it shows this is something you expect him to do. Give him his freedom and don't take it personally, you will be rewarded by him adoring you for it. Stop checking in and get off the phone early with him sometimes and you won't get those snarky remarks.

 I agree just let it go. Life is to short to be worrying about silly little events like this. Don't let it get to you he was probably just tired just like 'tasteofindia' said. Just let it go and don't even think about it.

 I'd let it go. He was a little snippy, but I don't think that a snarky cliché is a battle worth fighting. The guy was just tired, apparently a little cranky and going to bed early. He just needs some sleep. I wouldn't dwell on it!! Good luck, and appreciate that he's in bed and out of your hair for the evening!!
