I'm in a relationship with someone who is emotionally unavailable. This because more obvious when we moved in together and that's when it began being a bigger issue. When I say he thinks he is a perfect partner I'm not exaggerating. I can't move put until our home has sold and I'm hoping it will be up for sale next week.
I'm feeling really down and he just carries on without a care in the world and wouldn't even think to ask how I am. He really has no understanding of a partners emotions, he feels awkward about any relationship conversation etc and shuts down. It has been impossible raising any issues with him and nothing gets resolved. I've tried explaining things simply but nothing changes because I don't think he can.
I'm living with him and finding it so painful, my anxiety is awful, I'm taking care if my children (not his children) and working full time.
How can I get through the time before we move? I'm hurting and he acts like there is nothing wrong. He hasn't mentioned not wanting to live with me until I told him last week I can't do it anymore. He then said he agreed.
I don't have anyone to talk to. I can't talk to him as he doesn't understand people's emotions and he shuts down, ending the conversation and I feel worse.
