I have a partner (on and off for 14 years, live together) and we have 2 children together and I am step mum to his older 2 children. He works full time and I am a SAHM. Our son is autistic. Generally we are happy, by no means perfect but generally we have a good relationship. The problem is when I want to talk about feelings, emotions, our relationship or feeling unloved and needing some affection. He’s just not interested, tells me to stop thinking/feeling that way. As if it’s that easy! Tells me if I’m not happy then don’t be with him. It makes me feel very lonely and even more upset than I was originally feeling. Does anyone else have this or experienced it in the past? I’ve suggested couples counselling but he says no. He said if I go to counselling (I wanted to go to counselling for myself originally, he hasn’t told me to go) he will come once or twice but not every week. Any advice welcome
