My husband just hung up the phone by saying cheers
He walks miles ahead of me on 2walks
He forgot valentines day for the first time in 15years.
He works all the time cos or covid they have hardly any staff and I'm just left on my own
And when I mention anything I'm not supportive.
Am i right to feel really hurt

Of course you're not wrong to feel how you do.

I'm finding with this whole Covid situation that we are all dealing with things differently. Is your dh normally someone who draws inwards when he is stressed or down?

Although you might feel like telling him how he's failing you I think perhaps it might help you more at the moment to dig into your own reserves and do things that you enjoy. If he walks ahead, call to him to wait and when you reach him tell him you like walking together. My partner is struggling because of everything that is going on, and though he's still very thoughtful and kind it's definitely having an impact in ways that upset me. If I tell him and get upset it just doesn't help. Is your dh supportive usually? Perhaps this is just going to have to be your turn to be supportive if he has too much on with work.

It's really hard.
