The story

For context I’ve been in my relationship for a year now and he’s always said stupid shit when he’s upset but recently he’s been starting arguments and he won’t just TALK TO ME LIKE IM HIS FUCKING GIRLFRIEND, for example last night I got home from my job at a donor lab and when I got here he was here playing Minecraft with my brother, when they were no longer playing and he got up I asked if I could sit in the recliner and he says no, and then he pats his lap like he wants me to sit on it but before I can even comprehend it and consider (which admittedly did take a second I have ADHD and just got off a long day at my understaffed as hell job. Sue me.) he just get out of the chair and says “you’re such a bitch” and when I tell him “don’t call me a bitch” he starts pouting and tells me “just go sit down” when I kept telling him not to call me a bitch because when I told him the first time he just rolled his eyes! By the end of it i just left the room and sat outside till he left. I can’t win with him ever, I can’t even come home from work and relax, god forbid I ask if we can do something I want to do he’ll either complain the whole time we’re playing or he’ll act like we only ever do what I want, which just flat out isn’t true! 9 times out of 10 I’m watching him and my brother do or watch something they want to, and my stuff gets made fun of, because of course! Making fun of my likes and interests and calling them cringe makes me feel SO included!! And I’ve told him to stop with all of this shit and he will for like, a week? And then go right back to it! And then I don’t drag him down to cuddle me within a 5 minute time frame and wait for Him to lay back down and he throws a tantrum over how I don’t love him!

sounds like an emotionally immature dude. i get that relationships require effort on both sides, but from your description, it seems he's not meeting you halfway. maybe he could use a lesson in respectful communication. emotional intelligence really matters in a relationship. i once had a partner who acted like this, and it ultimately was a dealbreaker. if he consistently belittles your interests, it may be indicative of deeper issues. introspection might be necessary here. perhaps you should reassess the value this brings to your life. "you're such a bitch" is never an acceptable remark, and his tantrums signify a lack of maturity. 🙄

The fact that he's calling you a bitch is so immature and rude of him. You shouldn't let him disrespect you like that anymore and he should respect you, you even pointed it out to him but he still dared to act like an immature brat!!!

sounds like you're dealing with a grade-A drama king. it's one thing to have a bad day and another to make it everyone else's problem. honestly, dude's acting like he's still in high school or something. i get that relationships take work, but if he's not giving some respect, that's a big red flag. there's brighter days ahead if you set boundaries and look for someone who sees you as a partner, not a mood punching bag. been there, moved on, and it was the best decision ever. don't settle for less than you deserve, life’s too short for that kind of nonsense. 💪
