Moody partner

[Anniewayte91]

Partner has been really off this week he says it is because he is ‘run down’ which I understand, he works a lot and very early hours/long days a few days out the week. I’m not sure what to think. I have asked him and he’s just said he has been un well and it’s all just hit him. Haven’t seen him since Sunday, tried calling and he’s just not answered doesn’t seem bothered about talking on the phone. Do you think being run down is an excuse? Or am I being naive?

When he says he is unwell that could mean so many things, but it is probably manspeak for depression.
Has there been an major life events happening? Births, deaths, house moves, job changes. Does he have MH issues or addictions? Has he been a victim of abuse/ bad childhood?

Things can get triggered.
Or maybe he is unwell and just has a cold.... It is all very vague.

He does suffer with mental health problems and our relationship had been very up and down on his side. He has about five different jobs which equate to a full time job. I’m thinking that has something to do with it as it’s been very full on for him. I don’t know I just didn’t think he would be like this with me ( even though he has been quite a bit in the past)

The man sounds mentally and physically exhausted. Give him a break.

Do you mean he does five low/ zero hours jobs? I can't imagine how exhausting that must be, constantly going from one thing to the next, putting on different hats at every turn, no time to just be you.

How long have you been together?

Oh no they’re related to the same thing just at different places. I’m not sure what to think and I’m maybe I’m being silly but I asked him if he felt upto a five minute phone call and he wasn’t bothered so I didn’t bother him

Been together 18 months
