Unsupportive partner

[Blueskiesandblueseas]

Have had a hell of a work week and my mental health is on the floor. OH said he would be supportive but now it’s come to it he hasn’t been telling me to get it together and questioning whether things are really that difficult. I feel like it’s turned around to be about him and I can’t share my struggles with him, he asks if I’m ok but I know he doesnt want to hear any more than a “yep, fine”. I just feel so confused about it. I think maybe he’s frustrated and doesn’t know how to help but being mean and flying off the handle hasn’t helped. I feel abandoned and pushed away to deal with this on my own.

Have you been together long?

is he supportive and good at communicating on issues in general within your relationship or do you both ignore things to avoid the awkward conversations?

like if you told him you felt he could have been more supportive over the work issue and his behaviour made you feel very alone in the relationship etc - how do you think he’d react?

Hmm, it's not really clear what's happening here. What is it that you want from him - a listening ear, advice, someone to just give you a hug and tell you it'll be okay? What do you mean when you say he's flying off the handle - is he just frustrated/helpless or is he actually genuinely angry?
