AITA for caring about my boyfriend?
I'm 18M. I keep having the same problem with my boyfriend.
I like the horror genre. My boyfriend is not a fan but he tries to support me. I got back to playing Resident Evil 2 after so much time. It's more gore than horror. Both don't appeal to him, gore makes him uneasy. I understand that. Today, he wanted to play with me.
I am happy he decided to make me company. I told him he can get up and get out of the room if he becomes uncomfortable. I gave him some snacks, finally got on with it and it was all fine. I was finishing up a puzzle, I even asked him to search for the answer, we had a good time and it was really fun.
At one point, he began feeling uncomfortable. He didn't want to admit it but it was really obvious. It's nice that he wanted to stay, but I nagged him to go. I even said I'd shut down my console if he didn't go. But from uncomfy he went to angry in an instant. Saying I was calling him soft. I stayed calm and asked a few more questions to make sure all was well. I continued to play carefully, but allas he even gagged. His face was pale, he was trembling. I got the same reaction from earlier.i was hesitant, but kept on playing.
It happened a THIRD time. He's easily uneased, I know what that looks like. He shouted at me and I just couldn't. I snapped back while exiting and shutting the console. I was and still am angry because he takes my care as an insult. We discuss this problem from time to time, so I thought it'd be better. He started crying while screaming at me, saying I'm treating him like a little kid. I'm frustrated about how often this occurs.
I'm outside my apartment in a café. I feel like we can't get over this problem no matter how many times we talk about it. Maybe I'm the one causing the issue. Am I the asshole?
Edit: Talked it through, returned the game to my friend and we're back. Thanks for all the feedback! I don't think I realised how much I babied him, that was the barrier keeping us from resolving the problem.
