AIBU to want a little empathy from DP?

[hatbobble]

Will try not to make this too long. I have been quite unwell lately and had a bit of a breakdown when my partner was away at musoic festival. I have started some medication but still struggling, on a practical level he is amazing but our conversation is never is any depth. He never asks how I am,shows his feelings or sends a text. Even when he knew I was in crisis he didn't come back from the festival only a few miles from our home. I know I will have been hard to tolerate at times and I try so hard but just fEel he is not there for me. He hasn't told me he loves me for years, but he is wondeful to our 2 DC. Bet I just sound like an ungrateful cow, I just feel like I want our relationship to have a depth he can't or won't go to and it makes me sad..thank you for reading

It's really hard to tell whether anyone is BU. Was the festival his 'break' from stress? Does he really need that? Do you communicate your needs to him clearly? Are you both still in love or going through the motions? Has your ill health been really hard on him? And you? Was he always like this?

Always been like this really to be honest, I am very much in love with him. The festival was a break for him but it was the first time I'd had any professional input and diagnosed. I am quite sure it has been really hard on him.
