I was tired and cranky due to not getting enough sleep, and having problems sleeping lately. My long distance boyfriend ticked me off while we were talking on aim and the phone by semi-ignoring me (as in taking like 10 minutes to respond, not really making conversation). Due to sleep deprivation and the crankiness I got irritated, told him i’d leave him alone and i had to go to class, and signed off AIM without the usual “i miss youuu <333 i love youuu byee" crap (he didn't really ask me what was wrong, or anything). I felt bad shortly after, so i typed a short email telling him that if i act weird, it's nothing personal, I just have been stressed and tired lately, and in a bad mood and jokingly said it's cool if he wants to avoid me for a while until i'm done being cranky (i don't really want to talk to him anyways if he doesn't want to) but that I look forward to seeing him when I go back to visit.
Now i'm wondering if it was even worth emailing him about this, or if I should have just let it be. I know some guys are completely oblivious to their girlfriend's "mood swings" so I worry that I'm drawing attention to it and making myself look crazy. Should I just let it alone next time I get into these stressed/bad moods?

Tell him lack of communication can ruin a relationship.
never hide your emotions from him, its always better if you tell him what made you mad so he or you can work on it and fix it. I just got out of a long distance relationship, there really hard but you both have to work at it to keep it going.
lack of communication is the number 1 reason for divorce…..tell him everything its the only way you two will learn to understand and read eachother…
Tell him.
First off long distance relationships are hard enough as it is without adding in sleeping problems and scheduling conflicts. We all get cranky when we dont get enough sleep or food or whatever. Maybe next time you guys talk you should say you’re sorry for what happened and tell him what was wrong. Guys rarely know what is happening inside a girl’s head so you have to spell it out for them sometimes. Dont make a huge deal out of it, just apologize and tell him you were having a bad day and be done with it.
I think it’s a little of both-you’re right about guys not noticing-sometimes I think I’m acting like a maniac, and my husband says he didn’t even realize. If you do something very rude or act exceptionally grouchy, I think you should apologize. If it was just a minor thing (like what you described), I’d say just leave it be. If he says anything later, then you could apologize.
