Feeling down

Hi all. I’m very sorry. Just need somewhere to rant today. I feel like I have nothing to look forward to. I’ve recently moved away from my family home with my partner. We both work full time (he also works Saturdays). I spend Saturdays alone, cooking/ cleaning etc.

On Sunday’s, he never seems to want to do anything (I do understand that he works hard and is probably tired). Money is tight at the moment as he is self employed and some builders have just ‘done him over’ by £7000. I suggested a meal (but he said we need to save money- which I totally get). So I asked if we could go for a walk - but he doesn’t want to do that either.

He sits in the lounge watching TV whilst I watch TV in our bedroom. I feel like our relationship is slowly drifting apart. I don’t have many friends or hobbies either. I feel that I have nothing to look forward to in life other than work, cleaning, sitting around on my own.

Our sex life isn’t as fulfilling as it should be. Most of the time we don’t even have sex once a week. On Saturdays, when he is at work, I masturbate as I have my needs. I just feel so sad in my life.

I don’t exactly know what response I wanted to get from this - I suppose I just wanted somewhere to write down how I feel. Thanks for reading.

A relationship should not be like this.

You must realise that. You need to talk to him, tell him how you feel, what you're worried about, what you would like to see change, ask him if theres anything he wants to talk about. Sitting in separate rooms is not a good sign... if you're working a lot, you should try and be together in your spare time. Sounds more like a flat mate relationship and that's not great for anyone.

Talk to him OP. It's the only way to change things. If he cant see a problem and wont support you then maybe it's time to move on.

A relationship should be fun, loving, happy, a best mate, a lover. We all deserve that. X
