ORIGINAL: OuchIsntASafewrd I am feeling ignored, hurt and frustrated. I told him so and he got angry and told me to relax This. This is where it stops being about personal integrity and quite frankly it doesn't matter whether he's being honest or dishonest, because on the basis of this - irrespective of how this situation came about - I'd drop him. I write this because personally I'm not into these 'flick of a switch' types of relationships because the bottom line is simple - you're either in a developing relationship or you're not. And if you are, then every emotion and feeling that someone experiences and shares in that relationship is valid. Isn't this the entire purpose of a relationship? To deal with stuff together? I know that some people don't see it this way, and see it in a way where they get to pick and choose what feelings and emotions they deal with and what they reject - which is why accusations of being needy, clingy, passive aggressive and insecure are such a cop out. The thing is when this happens it never leads to building a solid basis for the relationship. If someone can get angry at you for the way you are feeling in a developing relationship then they're not being responsible. The way I see it it isn't all honey and roses in any sort of relationship, you do have deal with stuff like insecurity, misunderstandings, fears, and all other sorts of feelings whether they are founded or not. It's almost like you're expected to think and feel a certain way. You know the amount of thought and energy he spent in getting angry probably wouldn't have been any less than asking you why you feel insecure and ignored and making an effort to reassure you. At this point whether he's being honest or not, and what sort of relationship you're developing with him it's all moot. He's rejected feelings and emotions which are valid in the context of that stage of a relationship, and in your situation I would take this for what it is, a red flag, and I would move on to someone who is more responsible and emotionally mature.
