Boyfriend Locked Me Out as Punishment After Fight | Reddit

ok so this happened a couple nights ago and im still not sure if i handled it wrong. im 22f, my boyfriend is 23m, we’ve been together a little over a year and live together. we had a dumb argument that night, nothing huge. i wanted to step outside for a bit because i was getting overwhelmed and just needed air. he said i was “walking away instead of communicating” but i told him i’d be back in a few minutes. i didnt take a jacket or charger because i genuinely thought id be right back. after like 5 mins i tried to come back in and the door was locked. at first i thought it was an accident. i knocked, rang the bell, nothing. i called him and when he picked up he said something like maybe now you’ll learn not to walk out during arguments. i honestly laughed at first because i thought he was joking, but he wasn’t. he said i could come back inside once i calmed down and apologized. i was standing outside in the dark in thin clothes and my phone was already at like 18%. i started feeling really embarrassed and anxious. i asked him again to unlock the door and he just said i was being dramatic after around 25 minutes i was shaking and close to crying and didn’t know what else to do, so i called a friend to come get me. once he realized i wasn’t just going to wait there, he unlocked the door and started yelling at me through the window saying i was making him look abusive and that i shouldve just waited. i stayed at my friend’s place that night now he’s saying i escalated everythin, that he never would’ve actually left me out there all night, and that involving my friend was humiliating for him. some of our friends think i should’ve just apologized to end it. but idk, locking someone out like that doesn’t feel normal to me, even during a fight.
