How loved do you feel?

Tonight I had a bit of a weep. Health stuff, family stuff, work stuff, hormones and just life collided. DH just walked past and told me not to cry. No hug. No are you OK? No care it would appear. And it made me realise maybe I'm not loved at all.

Aww poor you, so sorry. God men can be so hard can't they!?! Sometimes I think they really just don't get it. I'm sure you are loved Hun it'll just be that your DH has a really funny way of showing it!
Sometimes things just get on top of us and get us down and it's perfectly normal. Sometimes we just need a hug when we're feeling low (hugs for you). I think remind your DH to be more loving and tell him you'd like afew spontaneous cuddles as well every now and then....that's what I did with DH. It got to the point I felt he was only cuddling when he had other things in mind so I made sure he knew that wasn't on and things changed! Still not quite as many cuddles as I'd like mind I feel I still initiate more hugs...

Hope you're OK op.

That was mean of him x

Sorry I don't think it's that men are so hard. My DH wouldn't dream of walking past me when I'm crying!

Is your relationship usually good?

Bella8 · 23/11/2017 22:57

Actually come to think of it I agree with pp DH isn't a mass hugger but if I was upset he would try: only when I'm upset I hate being hugged so he can't win!

FlowersFlowersFlowersI empathise completely and it really hurts. Hope you have some lovely friends who can support you & remind you that you are loved and/ or some feel good hobbies as those things are a lifesaver for me. A big hug. X

Ty all for kindness. Lately I feel like I'm in the way rather than anything else.

Don't feel at all.loved, ever. Because I'm not.

But i remember the particular heartbreaking loneliness of being alone and unloved in a marriage Flowers

I think from a male perspective this highlights the difference between the sexes. There will obviously be a variance however.
I think it was wrong to try & tell you to stop crying but, I’d never have dreamed of asking are you all right, when you clearly weren’t.
