I’ve been with my partner for 17 years and we have three kids together. I do still love him but recently I hate him more. I don’t like to spend time with him, there’s days we barely talk. But then there’s days I love being with him and we can just laugh and get on great.
I honestly don’t know what to do. Any advice would be really appreciated
Hi Clare,
I'm Catherine, one of the Parent Supporters here at Netmums. You've told us that whilst you love your partner, you feel like you don't talk and sometimes you feel like you hate him. Clare, do you feel able to chat to your partner and let him know you feel? Could someone mind the kids for you and give you some uninterrupted time to talk or reconnect? It can be hard to feel connected to our partners when life is busy and there are so many demands on our time and attention including juggling work and kids. Clare, do you think it would be helpful to chat to someone neutral like a relationship counsellor? Relate offer this for both individuals and couples - I'll link the website in case you would like to explore this: Counselling services | Relate
Best wishes
Catherine
