Sometimes I feel like my partner and I lead separate lives more like a best friend or roommate sometimes.
He works 9-5 and I'm on Mat leave but soon to return to work.
I love him and he always tells me he loves me , we laugh a lot and we both care for our son and he's a brilliant dad.
The issue is I just feel as if sometimes we are t really a couple or that he just wants to be alone.
Usually he'll come home from work we put little one to bed , I'll make us dinner , and that space of time is really the only time we interact and even then it's only eating together.
Afterwards he'll play FIFA and I'll sit on my phone but I'm only doing that because he's playing a game. I let him because I know it relaxes him and it's something he enjoys - however I'm left after a long day of nearly no adult company , wishing we were doing something together.
Another example is conversation. I love a good chat and I like to ask him questions about his childhood or his opinion on a topic or something random like "what good would you eat for the rest of your life if you could" and always the answer is "dunno"
I just want to keep leaning about him and grow together but I feel as if it's only me who s bothered.
As for sex it's always amazing but it's only ever once a week maximum , we are only in our very early twenties!
I spoke to my mental health nurse about it as it's really pulling me down so she said why don't you surprise him and go to the cinema one night.
So I got DM to agree to watch my little one and said "do you fancy going to a film tonight? My treat"
To which his response was
"Don't mind "
We've literally not been on a date just us two in god knows how long. I know he'd never look at another woman but I just feel sometimes as if I'm annoying him. He then always asks me what's wrong and goes in a huff cause I'm upset but I just don't know what to say to him?
Feel like I'm giving my all and getting little in return
