Hi I’m just looking for some advice really.

I’m almost 21 I have two kids (twins) with my partner of two years. I absolutely love him but lately I’m just so miserable. I feel like he doesn’t appreciate anything I do, I look after our children as they are still only very young, I work, I clean and cook and do all of our washing etc he comes home from work and just sits on his phone 24/7 I’ve tried to talk to him about it so many times but he just snaps at me and bites my head off so it turns into a petty argument. I feel like absolute crap and unappreciated but it’s so hard because I love him and he is the father of my children. However somebody that I have a lot of history with in the past a few years back has recently started to talk to me at first he showed no signs of anything like that it was just general friendly conversation. But even with that he seems genuinely interested in how my day is or if I’m tired or how I’m feeling? I’m in a predicament because I have never cheated in my life and I never want to I don’t believe in cheating I think if you are that unhappy
You should leave somebody before destroying them like that. But I am craving affection and this bloke gives me that sort of attention and if it was from anybody else I could easily ignore it but because it is coming from this one person it’s hard as when we had a thing a few years back he never showed me this sort of affection and I wanted him to so badly but it just didn’t work out like that back then. I do not want to betray my partner at all but he won’t go to any form of counselling or anything so we can sit and work anything out he won’t even talk to me about it his head is literally stuck in his phone all the time. Most of the time he comes home from work doesn’t really acknowledge our kids and then can’t wait to ship them off to bed so he can play his games on his phone. It’s not fair I’m tired I’m fed up and I feel like I am a single parent to our children. He is older than me he will be 24 this year. As I said I would never ever want to betray him but I just feel pure guilt for allowing this other person to even talk to me. Please can somebody give me
Some advice, don’t be nasty or harsh I just don’t know where we go from here. ☹️

nobody has ever loved me like he has

It's only as I've gotten older that I look back at the relationship I was in at 21 with horror. It seemed normal enough at the time but looking back I had no boundaries and let him treat me like shit. The partner I'm with now and have been for years, is a million miles away from my partner at 21. I also would never put up with the shit I did when I was younger.
