Boyfriend brought me back the kitten I gave him so he could go out with his friends? ?

I gave him a kitten as a early Christmas present he’s been complaining about her ever since. Which makes me think he doesn’t want her. Well he brought it to me on Friday cuz he needed rest. I was ok with that. He asked me to go to his house Saturday I drove 50 mins to his house. I left early since I had to drive back on my own and it gets dark early and I take the backroads. He used to drive back with me half way before. But this time he didn’t he let me drive alone. I got home safe and told me he was going to play poker with his friends that he didn’t see in while. And was going only for two hours. I said ok that’s fine have fun. I went out to the store and he calls me and gets mad at me for being out. Well he told me he would call me when he got home. I fell asleep and when I woke up at 11:40 there was no message or calls. So I texted him saying” I guess you’re still not home I was waiting for your call again but I woke up worried about you” he sends me a picture showing me he’s still there with his friends. So I said “ oh no wonder you brought me the cat, you had this planned I’m sure you were going to spend the night there” to which he replied” now you’re the type of girl who gets jealous? I never go out with them and they make fun of me because of that, and when I do you get mad” I said “ are you serious? I only texted you because I was worried I didn’t see your call or messages but whatever keep playing stay there if you want and you don’t have to call me I’ll ttyl. 

Update:

What do you guys think about this? Did I over react? Do you think this is ok? It’s the second time he tells me Im jealous. Like wtf I never tells him no to when he goes out. He facetimed me when he got home btw. I have a feeling this is not the only time he has gone out and I have no idea about it. Because I’ve noticed that every Sunday he’s sleepy all day. All he wants to do is sleep. We don’t do anything because he’s sleepy. Idk what to think.

    I got angry with this as soon as I read you gave an animal as a present. That is just SO wrong. Cats can live up to 20 years, are a commitment all those years...grrrr!

    Reading your other posts, I did have some sympathy with you. Not any longer. Take that poor cat now and find it a suitable home.

    you two are toxic for each other. i'd say he's already checked out of this relationship. i hope you keep the kitten, as he seems he doesn't care. please keep the kitten.

    You never give any type of pet as a gift, unless they ask for it. A pet can be a burden, and it can be abused, if the person does not want it.

    I didn't read all that but you shouldn't give an animal as a present to someone unless you're sure he wants it.

    Do we "think this is ok"? What do you mean? Do we think WHAT is ok? And why is your writing so poor? Have you graduated from high school yet?

    Sounds to me as if he has some directed aggression towards you for some reason. You had mentioned that you had told him that you would be waiting for a call or text when he arrived at a location and when you brought up the fact that he never called or texted like the two of you had agreed upon, he accused you of being jealous and sent you a picture of where he is at. 

    The first thing that comes to my mind is " why the aggression and accusations ?" when clearly your just concerned about what iss going on as like any S.O would be. His accusations of you bring a " Jealous girl " really stuck out and that type of defense would warrant suspicion with me, most deff.

    I would suggest you analyze your situation truthfully and recall whether or not there has been any tension between the two of you leading up to this scenario. Would there be any reason at all as to why he may be upset with you or being aggressive with you? An argument previous that never was solved?

    if not, then my suspicion would be even greater as to why he is being so defensive. 

    This is a red flag, and it does not mean anything horrible for certain but it deff means you need to be talking and figuring what is going on with him. 

    For instance, this scenario to me, especially his reaction coming out of the blue and where he is spending a lot of time away from you without checking in, being aggressive and defensive when asked would make me think a few thing like 

    " He clearly is upset that I am trying to be present in his life at this exact time, but why?" 

    " Can I truthfully assess if I have recently been clingy towards him and have I been giving him proper space that about everyone needs in life? "

    " Is he feeling negatively emotionally, depressed or inner anger that would warrant his need to be isolated from me, his girlfriend of which he is supposed to confide in when things like this arise? "

    " Are feelings between the two of us deteriorating, have I noticed? Is there a distance growing between the two of us? Does he seem to be loosing interest? " 

    " given that there is a considerable amount of time he has been taking away from me, are there any people specifically he is seeking out to be with? Is he able to tell the truth about who he is with or is he having a difficult time telling me about who he has been with ? " 

    " Is he lying about the time he is spending away and being truthful or dishonest about how much time he is actually spending away ?" 

    " Have I noticed that he has taken more of an interest in other girls, specifically other girls who are already acquainted with him ? Could he be loosing interest and seeking out spending time with these people to be with these girls? "

    " Is he intentionally creating tension to cause a intentional distance between us because things between us, feelings, have deteriorated ?" 

    These are just some things I would be asking myself especially if this reaction seems to have become a normal occurrence between the two of you. 

    Given the details you had given........

     Buying him a kitten and he seems angered/bothered by the gift and its presence and has a defensive reaction when asked about what he is doing or where he is, that maybe he is not happy with something in his current waking life, "Id put my concerns with you and the relationship and addressing this first and foremost "

     and that the assumptions to check off first would be that either he is seeking to cause an intentional disruption to fault an intentional tension for distance for many different reasons or 

    He seems to not want to be with me 

    and if he does not seem to be wanting to be with me or care that I  care

    who is he deciding to spend time with instead? Are the other girls or guy friends? 

    What reason would he be sending with these guy friends? is it really what he says?

    Is he depressed?

    Is he partying or consuming considerable amounts of drugs or alcohol ? 

    Even sometimes in relationships " I have seen it tons " when one person becomes depressed by no fault of the other person and seeks out being alone, or away from home with friends. Often times drinking in secrecy without their spouse being told and the progression of the alcohol or drug use contributes towards negativity in the relationship that  because is not known to the other person, is assumed to be that of infidelity and mistrust when in fact it could be something like depression and self medication. 

    Things to think about :]

    EDIT: You had mentioned that he seems to be sleepy every sunday....

    which does not nessicerily mean any certain thing but COULD mean or point to alcohol or drug use aka partying on the weekends. 

    or 

    Partying to self medicate looming emotional instability or relationship turmoil. 

    I would not say or agree that you have been over reacting by being concerned with him and his where abouts. His reaction like I had said would warrant even more of my concern only if I had crossed out any possibility that there may be some chance that yes, maybe in the recent past I have been a little too clingy and if I have not been clingy and I know this, again my concern is most deff warranted.

    Only a fool gives a pet as a present without knowing if it's wanted. Rehome it as you aren't capable of looking after it.

    Pets are a big commitment in time, effort and money. You should probably ask them first before you buy them a kitten...
