Well i just give up

me and my partner have been going through some issues but Ive just had it. We had a mini heart to heart the other day where i told him that bascially i just feel like hes been ignoring me, we agreed to work things out . I know its difficult, we havent got our own place and our baby is 5months old and we havent spent a day alone together since she was born. Theres no physical contact between us and we have done the deed precisely once this entire year! Not because of me either, but he has told me hes not interested, so Im not going to force him, I offered and he knocked me back so whatever. This morning I decided Id try and get the spark back, I went to kiss him and he pushed me away saying I hadnt brushed my teeth, when we had brushed our teeth at the same time just a few hours before! So what else can I do? Frankly I dont even feel close or comfortable with him now. So i give up.

Today was the final straw, I couldnt even believe him. Like I say we havent spent a day or night alone since the baby was born. We went away for the weekend to a wedding, I thought maybe we'd ge tsome alone time. But nope, he didnt stay in the same place as me for 2 days and the third day we got together he slept all morning and had to leave in the afternoon. I didnt complain. then today he says we are going out tonight, minus the baby. I was excited for all of 2 minutes when he said he wanted to bring along this female friend of his. I could NOT believe him. He has never ever taken time to say he'd take me out, but he can arrange to take out this girl! I was mad. I didnt say it then but I said it this evening, hes trying to say but he then said hed tell the girl she couldnt come, and i said ONLY because I said something, not like he thought of it himself! He actually accepted he was wrong, though he tried to argue it for a minute, he realised he had nothing to say and so said sorry next time it wouldnt happen. But to me it just shows Im never a priority, any time we go somewhere, he invites his brother or his cousin, as though spending time alone with me is too much to bare, He said sorry and I accepted so why cant I let it go, Im still getting upset about it right now. Its silly, but its like unless i tel him he cant think of something like that himself. I mean seriously, he wants to take this girl out just because she helped his family one time, but me the wife of his child who he barely ever helps with doesnt deserve to be taken out?

Im seriously fed up and hes trying to make nice and im trying to accept but inside im still annoyed as hell

Wow, I'd be furious as well hun
Whats his problem!?
and they say after marrage & kids the woman becomes distance & lacking physical contact?
At least you can say you tried!
I would say try talking to him about this - but men only hear what they want to and will probably end up turning into an arguement..
do you still ove this guy?
In instances like this were he is not giving into your advances and clearly has gotten to comfortable ...id shake things up... & I know there is your child involved in this as well,
but what I would do is go and get my hair, make up & nails done, get a new outfit, get a baby sitter ... round the girls up (making sure he see's you looking your best) & ... off out for the night ... maybe stay at a mates house (he wont know were you are)
this will snap him into action (possibly) seeing you looking lovely & going out & not returning home - the thought will cross his mind that maybe he shouldnt be so comfortable & take you for granted ... just an idea
good luck xx

I dont know

in fairness, he tried to make up for it but i was in no mood yesterday. he said he could see i was miffed, (NEVER!!!) so just kind of left me be but took me out (no where fancy lol) to make up for it. I just couldnt let it go yesterday, didnt help i had something else bothering me bout his mum. But today I feel better. It just upset me so much I couldnt even believe he couldnt see the problem you know? What peed me off more was probably that he thought about taking HER out first and then thought oh i better take my GF along cos otherwise its a bit weird! And the fact that ok fair enough, she helped out his mum and yeah shes nice, um hello youre taken, you cant just take girls out cos you think theyre nice!! I know he doesnt fancy her but hes so insensitive. I was shocked, he knew ive had it hard with the baby whos a total madam some days! but hes never said aw lets go out tonight and give you a break, but a girl does something one day and its like bow down and praise her.
Arrrrrrrrrrrghhh i am over it promise lol

I might give your idea a go, I honestly dont know what to do. its a bad cycle cos when hes nice to me its usually when hes done something dumb, so im mad at him and cant bare him to be by me, and then when im trying to be nice to him hes not in the mood, so we end up stuck, if that makes sense. Maybe I do need to remind him just what hes missing.

thanks for help, so good to get it off your chest isnt it

Men have small brains lol

Yes feels amazing to get it off your chest!!
I love this site!!
I do know what you mean 100% about this girl, even if your convinvced he doesnt think of her like that- its still annoying due to the fact that (as you say) YOUR the one who has raised both ur child, YOUR the one who he is with, YOUR the one he is supposed to take out..but then I think it may come back to the taking you for granted thing...if you do something nice it is considered "the norm" and he is probably used to it - but when someone outside of the relationship does something - I suppose he may have thought "oh they didnt need to do that" or whatever ....
But i defo think you should make him realise ... 1. You COULD survive without him if you had to 2. You are glamourous 3. You dont need him to do anything for you .... Then once he realises you can do what you want etc...he may appreciate you more...
I am with you on the vicious circle thing... its always the way!!!
I am exactly the same as you in that, I suppose all you can do is try and forget the dumb ass thing hes done (i no thats SO much easier said than done) lol

Put your Glams on & hit the town xx
