To think my dp is being selfish ?

[Somethingsosimple]

Just really want someone to tell me I’m not overreacting here. Last weekend I took the decision to start taking an antidepressant for the most horrible anxiety I’ve been experiencing. I’ve felt really rough all week but Dp has been abroad for work from Monday to Friday. My mum has been amazing and moved in to help with the kids. My dp came back on Friday but decided to still go upto to his home town on Saturday to go to a old friends birthday party and stayed overnight as several hours away. Today he came back mid morning. Has done a few jobs but has now gone off to play table tennis. I’m feeling really rough tonight and doing the bedtime routine is a real struggle. Is he being selfish or am I overreacting?

v selfish its almost as if he doesnt have kids or responsibilities

Very selfish. Have you told him how you feel?

Well yes, I’d be less than impressed myself! So YANBU imo.

Side effects from SSRIs can be really hard to deal with. You’re a week down now though so it should all be settling down in the next few days and you should be feeling a lot better soon

Thank you, I feel really hurt that he doesn’t ever drop everything and take over the kids for me.

"take over the kids for me."

Surely it's about him wanting to do a bit of Parenting?

Rather than it being "for you", he should be wanting time with them.

Is the working away usual?

How supportive is he of you, usually?

He's being selfish. I'd expect and hope for more.
