Ok so deep down I know I am being silly. But, I need someone else's opinion/advice.

So I have been dating this one guy for 7 months. First real relationship ever. Anyways, we've been pretty good so far. Lately he's been having a dental problem which makes him kinda in a bad mood because he is in severe pain all the time. He invited me over the other day, and it was kinda annoying because he was not in a great mood and I didn't know how to help. It was definitely one of the worst evening/nights we have spent together because he was in a bad mood due to the pain. SO he had an appt yesterday morning. I called him last night, and he didn't answer or call me back, which is weird. I think it is probably for a different reason, but I still worry that it was because of that bad night. Can someone please help. I am probably being stupid worrying about this because it has only been one day, but still.

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. He knows his bad mood and pain caused your unpleasant evening together. This is one of those things that is nobody's fault. Things will get back to normal as soon as he's feeling better. For future reference, it's probably a good idea to not get together when one of you is in physical pain that can't be helped by the other. People are at their worst then, and it's not likely that you'll have quality time together - having fun is out of the question. "Being there" for him won't make the pain any less, it only adds the burden of having to consider someone else on top if it.
