Welcome to my happily ever after...

I can't win for losing
Carlos and I are having a bit of a spat right now. Saturday night when I went out, I expressed to him that I wasn't thrilled about running into Danny. Well, today Carlos called me on it, and I just told him that he needed to remember that Danny and I just never talked ever again. I hadn't really run into him since, and I told Carlos that he needed to understand that it would make me uncomfortable for a little while to see him. Well, his Latin jealousy kicked in and I could tell that he was pouting about something at that point. So I asked him "Are you upset because I said that it makes me uncomfortable to run into Danny?" He told me "yes". So I got irritated and said "well fine....I'll talk to you later" and I hung up.
This is precisely why I broke up with him last year. Things had been sailing along so great until now. Carlos has never really grasped the concept that yes, I had a life before I met him. Yes, I had a life after we broke up last July. He has told me about boyfriends he had before we dated, and I take it in stride. I don't get the point of getting upset about something that happened before I was even in the picture. In this case, I'm not pining away for Danny....heavens, that is not the case at all. But when you are dating someone...having a sexual relationship with them and then they just never call you ever again, I dare anyone to say that they would be thrilled to run into him/her again. Carlos just doesn't understand.
I thought he might have grown up some. Guess I was wrong.
I know that I perpetuate a lot of the problems. But gimme a break. He's the one that brought Danny up, and then gets mad at my response.
I can't win for losing.
