You should be confiding in your girlfriends. Why do you want to burden your BF? As a man he is wired to fix things,,not to listen and sympathize. You are putting him into a position where he he is likely to feel inadequate and powerless to help. I don't know how to put this more simply, but this is a gender difference that is well known.

No, I don't think you were overreacting. You were looking for support from your bf and he was acting like he was clueless so it upset you.

Sometimes people don't know what to say "especially guys" and other times people don't want to hear your drama.

It can get lonely when you have to keep your feelings to yourself but it's going to get better and you know it will.

People just need to vent sometimes and not all the time do we get the support we need.

This ^^^. I understand how frustrating it must have been but your girls are the ones to call when you need to talk.
