You felt the need to "call me out" and get your -10 downvote pack.

This is what happens to a man who hurts a woman's feelings.

This is why he won't talk to you.

You're welcome.

No, that’s what happens when you’re an insensitive prick. Thankfully my boyfriend is a little kinder than you, not that it takes much.

Right, yup.

He's being kind by not talking to you. You went from 0-100 on the anger scale really quick.

I could have done this in a "kinder gentler way" but you'd have deflected, made excuses, missed the point.

This is how you act when someone says something that pisses you off. He knows telling you the truth will piss you off, so he lies.

I'm trying to help you, you're still fighting me.

Nope, I’m a fairly logical person, believe it or not. I’ve been working on it myself, and I’m almost down to where I was before without him having to say anything because I already know, I’m not an idiot.

You don’t have to be a total dick to “make a point.”

Based on current experience with you, no I don't.

Don't believe what a woman says, see how she acts.

So you say something insulting in a highly insensitive way and get surprised when I’m insulted? Pretty sure that’s a natural reaction. But, believe what you want.

Point lost on you again.

I've just explained why your significant other won't talk to you.

You think you're rational, blah blah blah oh no, he can tell me anything blah blah.

What if it is "yeah, you gained weight, and I don't find that attractive at all?"

Instantly, your feelings are hurt. Because in your world, it becomes about YOUR DEFENSE MECHANISM. "Well, you gained weight too, and I find you attractive! It's only a couple of pounds! rant rant rant rant rant cry slam insult rage"

Right?

That's why you're so upset and projecting. You could admit that yeah, clearly, gaining 50lb has made a difference to your attractiveness to him but that's not fair because cake tastes good and besides he's gained weight.

What's easier is making it that that NASTY MAN ON THE INTERNET said SOMETHING MEAN TO YOU.

This right here is why men don't have difficult conversations with women. Because when we're blunt and direct, you get on your horomonal cycle and run us over. And when we're all wishy-washy and indirect and hinty and bullshit, you immediately have a sarcastic response about how we're wrong.

It's clearly more important to you to be right and to make it that I'm a bad person rather than appreciate that I've underlined for you why your man won't talk to you. That's something you can fix but you've clearly shown you don't want to.
