I have had a really bad week, and have been feeling really low and down in the dumps. Last night I really needed some comfort and company from my partner. I asked him if we could go for a walk - he said he had already planned to meet up with a friend. Ok. He goes out for a couple of hours.
I have a bath, and I said that I want to go and lie down because I am feeling rubbish, I am tearful and upset. He said he doesn't want to join me for a lie down because it is only 7:30.
So, I go and lie down in bed, try to read my kindle, feeling really alone and upset. Have a good cry.
I say to him today I feel disappointed because I was feeling low last night and I needed him. He said that he didn't have the energy or capacity to be there for me, and that he wanted to do some things for himself (i.e. go on his laptop and watch TV).
I feel really upset. He knew how rubbish and low I have been feeling, and I don't understand how he can so easily and happily just leave me to it and cry on my own, just because he doesn't want to sit in the bedroom?
All I needed was his presence and his touch. People will say well why didn't you go downstairs? Because I knew he didn't want to "deal" with me. Why would I try to force someone to comfort me? :(
