Feel like crap!

[465768P]

Had the best morning. Met with partner for a socially distanced walk was out for a good few hours. Felt really happy was good to be with him.
Since coming back home I've felt like crap, I miss him and it hurts.

Text him that I miss him and wish we could have had more time together. His response.. We've had a lot of time together today. It could be just me being overly sensitive at the seemingly dismissive response just wondered what you all thought?

It's so hard isn't it seeing your partner then having to leave totally get where you're coming from. Obviously without know what he is normally like he may just be trying to make you feel less down about not being together now. Men don't text or think the same way us women do so I'd try to not think too negatively about it

@Littlemix1 thanks for replying.

It is hard yeah and is something I'm really starting to struggle with.
I know after our walk this morning he was shattered so could have been that.
Generally he doesn't like texting at all lol men!

It was probably just me feeling a bit poo and reading it the wrong way. We've spoke on the phone since and all is good.

Lockdown is messing with my head, can't wait for it to be over!

Tell me about it. It's so hard at the minute especially when you don't live together. But try and be strong and well soon come out of the other side. Glad you have both spoken about it and hopefully you will feel less down x

OP, I can understand your feeling dismissed by his insensitive comment. You really want your partner to be on the same page, by at least saying "yes, it didn't feel nearly long enough " or similar, not a flat "we have had a lot of time together "
It doesn't show empathy or longing. No wonder it left you feeling crap. But sounds like you get on when you're together so maybe he just has a poor texting style.

Was he keen to see you beforehand? Was he affectionate during your walk?

When we spoke on the spoke on the phone he was all lovey dovey trying to sort our next meet.
He said.. "i know its hard at the minute and I miss you too but there's no point getting down about it, think about our future together. That's what I've been doing, it'll all come good in the end"

He is handling it a lot better than what I am. Generally his texting style is short and sweet but we've often said things get took the wrong way over text or we can't across how we feel properly.

He arranged yesterday's meet and hes planning one for next weekend too and he was as affectionate as he could be. At the end, he did hug me and we had a kiss. Said he'd waited too long and he needed to do it. He said he was gutted that we couldn't walk hand in hand like we usually do but that we would next time.
