To feel bottom of the pile

[Pizzaobsess]

I feel like my DP always puts me at the bottom of his priority list and doesn’t act as though we are a couple/team when we’re with friends. For example; other couples stay or leave together and he will quite happily stay out for hours when I go to bed and he will always prioritise speaking with others. I might be overthinking but just feel a bit lonely and neglected.

LTB.

Have you told him how you feel?

Sorry you’re feeling like this OP…if you still are feeling like this the morning after ☺️!

Maybe your DP doesn’t realise that you see staying or leaving together as a sign of being prioritised.

A lot of my friends love to bring their DPs to everything whereas while I love my DH, I quite like socialising without him as we spend so much time together. Maybe your DP feels the same…

Does he do anything else to make you feel lonely or neglected? x

Um... you sound a bit possessive. No reason he should have to leave when you do; by that logic you are making him low priority when you leave instead of waiting for him to be ready too. In short, it's fine to leave separately unless this ends with him out of control drunk every time, and even then it would be the drunk not the staying that was the problem.

Similarly, he might feel the two of you talk all of the time and you bith might as well take what chances you get to catch up with friends.

Is there a backstory that would explain your feelings?
