No Fighting Streak

So Brad and I fought for the first time in weeks, maybe months, yesterday. We've been sooo good together lately, it felt like the beginning of our relationship all over again. Then yesterday he was supposed to come over and spend the whole day in bed with me since it was finally an actual rainy day off work for both of us, and it's been awhile if you know what I mean... But he totally slept in and didn't come over until 5 so I didn't have the house to myself anymore. We have to be really sneaky in my house so I thought he would stay late so we would get the chance when everyone went to bed. UFC was clearly more important since he told me he had to leave by 9, so I switched into bitch mode going off about why he would even come over in the first place if we only had a couple hours and he was tired anyways... When I went downstairs, he just left without saying bye, which he's never done before so he was obviously pissed off. So I called him and started yelling, which got him even angrier and he told me to stop acting like a 10-year old, which I haaattte. Cleeearly I'm upset and those comments don't help. When he hung up on me because I was "repeating myself" I sent him the nastiest text, which I feel bad about now because he texted me back that it was "a bit much" and "you know I don't handle these situations well". He told me to call him later when we both calmed down, but I didn't. The thing is, he aaalways does this, he wastes an entire night being angry when we could have just figured it out without him leaving and still had a good night. So I was prepared to wait days but he ended up calling me at 11:30 to say sorry anyways. I told him that just because we see each other pretty often doesn't make the days that we hang out insignificant or unimportant. I told him I wasn't going to apologize because I feel like I always do and this time it was his fault. Maybe if I hadn't switched to bitch mode and asked nicer then Brad would have stayed later, but I don't feel like I should have to convince him because that just makes me feel like an idiot. I told him to be a man and deal with your women, don't just take off. I've told him countless times before that he's going to have to listen to me and talk until the problem is resolved. Like I said, by resolved I don't mean six hours later when we've wasted the night being mad at each other. Anyways, long story short, he gets it but I still don't think it's going to be any different next time. We can work on it as much as we can, but in the end I think we just handle confrontations verrry differently. But I love him and at least he called to apologize so he better make it up to me soon. Hello, I haven't gotten laid in a week AND A HALF!
