Am I being too sensitive?

20 replies

Alicew00 · 23/12/2020 19:57

I've come here to get advice and I'm sat here crying while my partner of 1 year is upstairs doing his own thing.
Lately, he's been so mean. We went shopping the other night to get last minute bits and he walked off somewhere not to be seen. So I went and had a look elsewhere and called me angry saying I just ran off and left him and blamed me. In a nasty voice.
And also at home he is always making snide remarks telling me to I should look for our daughters charger even though i was busy and my daughter didn't need it right away anyway. And also today just snappy remarks and pulling looks at me.
Whenever he wants sex that's the only time he shows me any attention.

Of course you aren't oversensitive. Partners are called that because they are kind and make your life easier. He isn't. You absolutely need to stand up rigidly for yourself and don't back down. If he doesn't respond with an apology I think you need to seriously reconsider if the relationship should continue.
It's not easy, especially as you seem to have a child? You need to sort this out now though. Please

It’s not you being sensitive it’s him. You deserve better.
You’ve been together 1 year? I’m confused by the ‘our daughter’ bit.

EvenMoreFuriousVexation · 23/12/2020 20:12

How old is your daughter OP?

This doesn't sound like a supportive relationship. Did you fall pregnant very quickly after meeting? Or did you make a typo when you said you'd been together one year?

Are you able to go to your parents for a break?

Alicew00 · 23/12/2020 22:04

Sorry meant to put my daughter. We don't have any children together.
He came downstairs a while ago and asked if I'm OK but I just said yes even though I feel so down and unhappy and emotional Sad.

Why not tell him you are unhappy? Is it to avoid a fight? This is no way to live. Want more for yourself; if he wont give you what you want and need (kindness, love, care and support for example), you should leave him. Your life is previous, why live it in misery?

Either he changes or get rid, too many lives are ruined by snipping and snapping it gets you down after a while,.

Alicew00 · 24/12/2020 13:40

I told him I was unhappy last night and he was willing to listen. He hugged me til we went to sleep. But today he's snapped again. We were going to shop in car and snapped at me because he forgot his keys. He said it was my fault for rushing but I wasn't rushing I was being patient and waited. Just so down. Never mind covid. This is a chappy Christmas

Sounds like your relationship has run its course. Might be worth weighing up whether it's worth staying in it. Especially as your daughter is watching how relationships are carried out.

YuletidePizza · 25/12/2020 07:34

Is there anything in particular that may be stressing him OP? Work issues, ex wife, he has kids etc?

I think another conversation at a relaxed time would be helpful, to see if he apologies and gives an underlying reason for his snappiness. Its not acceptable but we are all human so give him the chance to explain and you can explain how you feel.

If he doesn't improve then you may need to consider the relationship, as this may be the 'real' him.

Bananalanacake · 25/12/2020 07:41

If you don't have dc together there is no need to live with him. If he's moved in after less than a year that is too soon if you already have a DC. Was it his idea to move in. Is it his place or yours. You can have a relationship without living together.

Oryxx · 25/12/2020 07:42

Honestly, OP, you’re only a year in and he’s treating you like crap. It shouldn’t be this way! As a previous poster said, your partner is supposed to make your life easier, make you feel valued. This is all wrong.

You deserve better. Being on your own would be better. Time to end it.

CodenameVillanelle · 25/12/2020 07:42

Time to break up with him of course
A year in is time to see the real person and he's not nice at all. You have children so don't subject them to someone who isn't nice to you.

Alicew00 · 31/12/2020 23:07

Tonight we are watching TV programmes. One episode finished and he put a different series on but I wanted to watch another episode of what we just watched. He then accused me of lying saying that I went to the trouble of getting the other series. But I said I do want to watch it just not tonight. So he said moodily well what do you wanna watch then. Now we're just both sat in silence. Hes on his phone so I came here ... :(

He did apologise for his behaviour before

Feels like he doesnt respect me. I told him this last week and he stopped for a minute and then said ofcourse I respect you and hugged me.
But then why do this go and upset me on new years eve.

OP posts:
Wanderlusto · 01/01/2021 11:53

Because he is an emotionally manipulative bullying arsehole op.

Why are you bothering with him? He is vile, get rid.

YerWanIsGettinNotions · 01/01/2021 12:01

I agree with the PP who said the relationship has run its course. It sounds like he is done now that the honeymoon period has worn off there isn't any substance underneath - but he just hasn't realised it yet.

He clearly doesn't respect you , don't analyse , just get rid and move on . 1 year in and your relationship sounds so miserable , don't be like the many women who post on here about their awful relationships but then do nothing about it. Let 2021 be your year , a fresh start without a man who does not care about you .
