Partner doesn't invest in our relationship

Kirst999 · 23/03/2025 17:07

My partner who I've been with for 6 years never wants to spend time with me.. he choices to work overtime he leaves before I get up in the mornings and comes back gone half 7 in the evenings spends over an hour in the bathroom then sits down at 9pm I have a 2 year old so as you can imagine by that time I'm tired and go to bed.. he sleeps on the sofa we haven't had sex in months when I suggest it he says we will at the weekend like it has to be planned? He works even on the weekends (again he chooses this) I feel like I'm just being used I feel drained and no matter how many times we fall.out over it he comes back with the same rubbish he's going to change for it to go back to how it was it just a week I'm so low about it all.. am I being over dramatic or would anyone else feel this way?

This sounds miserable OP. Do you work? Does he feel financial pressure? Something needs to change, or you’d be better off apart.

You feel used because you are being used.

What is the situation re the finances and property?. How is he with and around his child?.

He doesn’t want to be in the relationship but perhaps due to finances…. Feels like he can’t leave

You’ve made it clear to him countless times that you’re not happy and he’s chosen not to do anything about it.

You are meant to be a family yet he doesn’t want to spend time with you or your joint child.

You are basically the help who cleans his house and makes sure there’s food in the fridge.

This isn’t going to get any better so you need to decide if you’re willing to put up and shut up or actually leave him.

He’s checked out and is probably staying due to obligations.

You don’t seem to have a relationship.

What’s your financial situation? Can you afford to tell him to leave!
