We had yet another HUGE row the other day because I said I felt lonely. I don't have ANY friends that I see in rl. My one friend cut me out of her life completely and my fb friends, they are mostly people I've known for a long time but I can never get to arrange to meet up because he wont let me chat to anyone on there. I've had to block every male friend since fb made me download messenger as if they happen to send me a message it shows up on my phone, he's always in my phone..if I get a text he wants to see it, and they're mostly from my network provider but they send them at all hours of the morning! Im not allowed any ME time at all, neither of us work at the moment due to ill health so we are together 24/7...I don't enjoy it, I feel exhausted by his attention and unable to give it back. He wants to be cuddled up on the sofa all day and night and I just cant, i'm in a lot of pain physically at the moment and I cant get comfortable at the best of times...nothing life threatening but painful enough that I cant do as much as i'd normally do. The only thing he approves of is me cleaning. This is my life: I get up, get dd off to school. He comes down whinging demanding breakfast. He eats, puts his boring bloody nature programmes on and goes to sleep. I take the opportunity to go on fb or an hour but cant chat because (yes really) he wakes up at the slightest thing. Dd comes back, I do tea for us all. He puts his tv on again, i'm bored but I cant do my own thing. He actually took the newspaper away from me the other day, physically took it out of my hands because he wanted me to watch tv with him. I have to go to bed when he tells me even if i'm not tired. Sometimes if he's been particularly vile to me that day i'll be tossing and turning thinking, so he starts on me. If I go downstairs thinking i'll have a glass of wine and a chat with my lads (my teen and his friend are always up late), he'll come storming down and start. All I ever bloody hear is "you don't love me". I just cant do enough to please this guy. Am I being unreasonable? I don't really have anything to compare this to, I only ever lived with one other man (ds's dad) and that was bloody awful. I had to start all over again in another house with just ds. But I was young then, I had work and family and friends...I don't have that now.
