Just that really. Still working on his computer on a Friday night at nearly 8.30pm in his 9 -5 job?
Has not got a special project with an urgent deadline.
I know where I am in his list of priorities ....
But I am unreasonable to feel like this?

@Stoufer that would never work for me. Just not how I operate. Sunday is the only day I get to sleep in. My DD enjoys Xbox time before I get down and do dinner. My partner (when we move in together) totally accepts it's how I operate.

@Bumbleby I hope you have a nice time at the cinema … maybe try and initiate so hand holding ect as cinema not great way to connect if you want to talk but you can connect physically in some way or maybe go for a drink afterwards so you can both relax and get some “us “ time. It’s horrible to feel neglected, I get you and it’s hard to pulll yourself up from that feeling. Do let us know how it goes. Does he usually give you alot of affection?

I have no issue with him working until 7pm, I understand that volume of work often demands that and have needed to sometimes myself. Until 9pm I feel is excessive on a Friday, that's all. Thanks all for you replies /suugestions

If my husband worked late, did hobbies and fell asleep on the settee rather than spend time with me. I would absolutely tell him how it made me feel and I don't give a toss if he got upset.

I'd be asking the elephant in the room question. Life is far to short to feel lonely in a relationship.

I agree with this
