You should realize that he did not ruin the evening , you chose to have it ruined by staying next to him and venting . He is an independent human being , he doesn ' t have to behave the way you expect him to do . Give him space . Also , give yourself some space . if you want to spend time with your friends , do it . Ask him what he wantsdoesn ' t want , but in the end do what you want . And also let him do what he wants . A working relationship is not where one suffers some times to make the other one feel good , it ' s where both do what they want to feel good . Sometimes more often the actions that make both parties feel good are the same , and sometimes they are not , and there is nothing wrong with this . <| sep |> Never had faith in humanity in the first place .
