Wife isn't bothered about my feelings

Hi All,

Recently I've felt like my partner just doesn't think about me or care about my feelings at all. When I try to bring it up she just says ik been needy and the conversation ends there.

I feel like I'm bottom of the list and she treats everyone around us friends and family etc better than she does to me.

I'm genuinely questioning, if I can rely on her or trust that she actually cares about me. I feel like I'm just making excuses for her when she let's me down. But I don't think she cares about my happiness at all.

Things like not returning missed phone calls or replying to messages etc

It's not about sex . I can't even get her to return a missed call

But why are you ringing her?

OP, imagine having two grizzly little ones demanding food or drink or a cuddle. She's trying to prepare some food for them, while coping with one clinging to her leg, the other is crying on the floor with a stinky nappy, there is a courier ringing the door bell and she badly needs the loo.

That's a pretty typical hour in the life of a mum of two tinies.

Answering your call is a long way down the list. Give her four years and she'll surface. Don't have any more dcs. Think about having a vasectomy.

Don't imagine the OP will be back to answer the questions about the mental and domestic load.....😂

If “cuddling” leads to you getting a stiffy, groping her and expecting sex then I’m not surprised she doesn’t want to “cuddle”.

Stop whining, help with the house and kids, get a hobby independent from her and see how it goes.

You have two young children so life must be busy . What are the work/housework/childcare /social arrangements in your household?
