How often do you and your dp talk? Text? Interact? Spend time together?
I’ve become upset this morning, as I was alone all weekend (like usual) with the dc. Dp works everyday, on Saturday he left at 7:30am and didn’t come home until 9:30pm. I’m not sure exactly what time he finished work that day but he had gone to our family leisure centre after to relax.
on Sunday, yesterday, he left at 7:30am and came home around 7:30pm. When he came home he didn’t speak to me AT ALL. He asked 1 very small question about something and after I replied he said nothing. For the rest of the night he didn’t speak, stayed on his phone and then went to bed without me. When I went to bed he was sleeping but still didn’t acknowledge me all night, no hugs like usual etc.
now I don’t want to be unreasonable, as I understand he works hard and a lot of hours. But I am extremely upset that I dont get any sort of attention from him on a level that I feel I should. I mean, is it really that hard to say ‘hi’ when he comes home? I mean, I don’t even get a simple ‘hi’ let alone a hello.
i have no adult company and spend all day long by myself with kids. He doesn’t even text me, no ‘how’s your day’ ‘how are you’ text ever. I wait all day for him to get home to have some adult interaction and I get nothing and it really upsets me.
to be fair, usually we watch a tv show in the evenings on the weekend and occasional nights during the week, he’ll usually still be on his phone the entire time but I’ll take what I can get! Yesterday he didn’t even do that, just completely ignored me.
do you speak during the day to your dp? Do you text at all?
something that’s made me upset is that this morning I have seen one of his colleagues who posted stories on her social media, they were laughing together and he went in front of her camera and smiled for the video. It upset me as I can’t even get that basic attention from him, he has time to have a laugh with colleagues or clients at work, to reply to others but not to check in on me? Or say hello when he comes home?
I’m just at a loss for how to feel right now. I feel extremely lonely and think I deserve more attention from my partner, I also don’t want to come across as an annoying needy partner either….
