22F, 24M, together for almost 2 years.

My boyfriend and I had a disagreement yesterday that we talked through, and I apologized afterward. Still there was some tension in the next morning.

Today I genuinely wasn’t feeling my best and felt emotionally drained from everything specially our first conversation in morning and how it ended on him being cold, so instead of forcing myself to stay up and keep a conversation going, I told him:

“I’m not feeling my best today, so I’m going to sleep early. Sleep well when you can.”

I wasn’t trying to punish him, be passive-aggressive, or make him chase me. I simply needed rest.

Sometimes I worry because I have a habit of always being available and trying to fix everything immediately after disagreements, so this felt different for me.

AIO, or is this a healthy way to handle things?

Men, is it normal to text your girlfriend until late at night when you’re deeply in love, even if you didn’t do that earlier in the relationship?

AIO for going to sleep early instead of continuing a conversation with my boyfriend?
