This afternoon I had a argument with my other half and they said what do I really add to their life. After that they seemed to try and make it up to me. But they won't discuss this statement. No apology or I didn't mean to say it etc. we have been together for almost nine years. After hearing that I feel crap about myself. Am I not enough or are they just going along with me. What would you do. I can't stop thinking about it.
Hi Tinkerbell,
We've moved your thread into our drop-in clinic Unhealthy relationships, so you can get the advice and support you need
Hi Tinkerbell
I'm Catherine one of Parent Supporters here at Netmums. How are you this evening? I know you have said that they don't want to discuss it but could you chat to your partner about how they made you feel? Have they ever said anything like this before to you? It's important that your feelings aren't lost and that you feel loved and valued. Do you feel like there are positive aspects to your relationship too?
Perhaps it would be helpful to chat to some neutral, like a counsellor? I'll link the Relate website here as they are an organisation who offer this: Home | Relate
Hopefully some of our community will be along soon to offer support but do come back to us if you would like to chat some more, we are here to listen.
Catherine
It's hard for anyone to say as they don't know your relationship. Perhaps all relationships should take time to frequently assess what they are putting into the relationship and what they need out if it.
