Honest opinion please or am I being a bitch?

My partner loves to run about making my bed, hot water bottles, doing the washing, cleaning etc he's a keeper ........ but he's not there on the emotional side of things.

Am I wrong for telling him I don't need him to clean and do all these things I need him to be there for me mentally. I enjoy closeness and love and hugs and chatting. I like texts through the day or random messages (not all day but something like "are you ok?" Or anything that's not asking me to bring something for dinner or telling me I left the tv on or something)

I know I am lucky to have him and I do love him but I just feel so lonely. We don't share a bed but we live together (he says he can't sleep next to me as he's a light sleeper and often watches tv at night ect) which is fine but I don't get that same intimacy as most couples going to sleep with him or waking up next to him.

I feel selfish for wanting this and I think he sometimes makes a point of caring for me in other ways because he uses that to cover for his lack of what I actually need in my life.

So am I wrong? Should I get over it? How do I move forward from feeling so lonely and lost. I'm the complete opposite to him I crave affection 😭

I had an ex (hence ex) who was the most courteous man ever, he would open the door of the car for me, hold my coat, move the chair you name it. Everybody would point what a nice boyfriend I had. Problem is he was awful in bed and never wanted to go down in me. I eventually dumped him because I can hold a coat and open the car door myself, but I can’t eat my own pussy.

priorities.

But is this the model of relationships you want to instil in your children? Would you want your daughter (if you have one) to accept this in her own future, to not have her own needs met, to tolerate his bad behaviour? Would you want your son (if you have one) to behave like this to future partners?

I can understand that it's huge to "break up a family unit", but you're not necessarily doing your kids any favours in the long term by sticking it out.

Whaaaaat?! That's gross

Asked for a tit wank from your sister? What a Prince 😡

I wouldn't be able to settle for this.. I need the I love yous, I miss yous, the deep messages etc.. don't need romance but definitely need that emotional feeling alive connection.

Err what?

This 🤮
