Am i the asshole for wanting more attention?
Hes really mad at me im not sure. Should i apologize or should he apologize? Am i being unreasonable
So i (mid 20s) have the covid and my boyfriend (same age) does not. Ive been stuck at home and since none of my family has the vid im stuck in just my bedroom only allowed to leave to use the restroom. (I gotta mask up and wear gloves to use the toilet in my own home ๐) I havent gone to school or work in over a week and i developed an eye infection on top of all of this.
My boyfriend doesnt live with me and is admittedly a very busy guy, but i know he makes the time to do a group call with his gaming buddies nightly. I started getting upset today because he was replying to my messages like an hour or two after i sent them and the only thing i got from him was an "i miss you" snap chat sticker. And that really set me off and i was like "ive been trying to start a conversation with you if you miss me would please talk to me more than a single word every two hours" and he got really angry and said he is not doing that and i apologized emphasizing that its probably just me being stir crazy and i get that he's busy but that i really could use some extra attention this week because ive had no human interaction besides my family asking if i need water.
And then he told me he didnt wanna talk to me and isnt replying to me anymore on any apps. Its been a few hours
I really love him and i understand i was being needy but i think hes being insensitive. I showed my friends the messages and they said hes just sending autoreplies throughout the day.
Am i being unreasonable or is he being mean?
Tldr: I got covid asked boyfriend to text me more and he got offended
