I have been with my partner for 7 years. He lost his Dad 11 years ago and every year he searches for plans to celebrate with his family to always feel deflated when it doesn’t match what he wants. His siblings all have different views on their Dad and my partner is very loyal and well speaking of his Dad and talks of how he owes him his successes, something I have always respected and acknowledged and celebrated. Over the past few years my partner has become more distant with his family as they don’t bring him peace. However I feel a lot of the pressure then falls to me and my partner comes down heavy on me for a minor things especially around the time of his Dads anniversary. I feel stressed and a lot of pressure and no matter what I do I feel like the punchbag. Do I reach out to his family members? Or do I walk away because I can’t replace his Dad and that’s how it feels.
