My husband hates me

Anytime we go anywhere together like to watch one of the dc play a sport or pick them up from school or go to gym together, my dh leaves me and goes to talk to anyone he can see.
I'll spend an entire football match stood on my own or following him around like a dog.
It seems he hates My company..we don't spend all our time together we both work and have dc etc. So I would think he would stay stood with me at least for 5 minutes?
I dont stand alone by the way I do too talk to the other parents but they're all always stood as couples whereas mine forgets I'm even there.
Am I just being a needy little cow or am I right to be annoyed?

This is what broke up my relationship. My dp had no interest in spending time with me, be it at home or anywhere else. I had several conversations with him about it. Explained over and over again how lonely I felt, he'd say all the right things but nothing changed.

He wasn't always like that. The first 15yrs of our relationship was great. I think he just started to take me for granted or maybe he lost interest 🤔 Anyway after 3yrs of begging him for some attention I finally decided to end the relationship. It wasn't easy, especially with children involved but I couldn't stay in the relationship feeling so desperately lonely. Although it's hard right now I know it's the best decision in the long run

This is really ringing bells for me. My ex would talk to anyone rather than me. Talk to people at the next table if we were out for dinner. Stand at the bar talking to his mates, buying everyone drinks.
Chat to waiters. Even if we were dancing he’d talk to someone over my shoulder.
It all came to a head when I found a lump in my breast. I was sent for a bi-opsy and when he came to collect me he spent all the time talking to the others on the ward. Ignoring me.

I now live on my own and I’m no more alone than when we were married.

On of the quotes that stuck with me when I split with my ex was ‘the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference.’

If leaving isn't an option and I can understand your worries I think you should definitely do what you have already mentioned, go and find yourself an outside interest which doesn't cost too much...just to get yourself out of the house..he has no interest in you that's for sure, it's going to be such a lonely life for you if you don't do something proactive now. Best of luck x

I had this in my relationship for years and didn't do anything about it because of our young son. I felt so miserably lonely and anyone I confided in assumed my issues were with sex rather than a lack of intimacy and conversation. I did finally end it, but it took a lot to get there. Getting a separate social life and focusing on that helped me cope before I reached that point.

I now actually have a long distance relationship which feels more fulfilling, despite the fact I see him monthly at best, because he talks to me regularly and actually makes plans to do things together. I feel less lonely now than I did with a live in partner who never wanted to spend time with me!
