First time I've posted here or on reddit, but figures I should look for some advice on how to proceed with a situation.

My current LTR wants a break after a communication misunderstanding last night. English is her second language so I'm fine with those things, but this time she seriously took this the wrong way.

I've been hanging out with a friend time to time after work for dinner and a chat. I've no interest in her and met her online, but she keeps me entertained as I live in a foreign country so making new friends is a tricky business when you're stillo learning the language. I've been upfront about her existence, and my partner didn't really like it. She's worries the girl might take me away or whatever. I made it clear that she's being ridiculous and overly jealous however and thought everything was fine.

Except after last night where I teased my LTR about coming over and staying the night after work (she loves the tease). Her response was that as long as the other girl is there she's not coming. I told her "Well I offered! You'll miss out on some good times with me."

She blew up at this and took it as me inviting the other girl over. Told her she misunderstood and not to be silly. Blows up again because I called her silly and demands an apology. I don't comply with it, and she says she's disappointed in me and wants some time away.

I coldly responded with "Talk to me when you're calm. I don't need space." and called it at that.

I'm new to being more stern about things . I was raises only by women and most of my life has been spent being the beta. Recently I had a health scare and have since put immense focus on myself and !my fitness, and it's showing results after being strict on myself. I'm really happy with my success and a lot of TRP has resonated with feelings I have never actually outwardly expressed due to suppression.

I am not sure how to proceed with this current dilemma however. Not even sure if I was on point with my handling of it. Any thoughts or criticism? Once I get back from work I can add more detail in too and fix tablet errors.

Cheers fellas.
