alex1968,
I'm sorry you are experiencing a tough time at the moment and I hope it passes soon.
You know, as mad as you are at your partner's lack of support, it's actually a good thing. I know this might not make a lot of sense just now, especially when you don't feel particularly strong. But his seeming lack of support forces you to deal with things without even being aware of it. And it's this dealing that will put you back on the right track. The alternative is that you become very dependant on him and fail to deal with anything yourself.
I know what I'm trying to get across but I'm not sure if I succeeded.
Sorry if it seems harsh, I don't mean it to be.
There is a saying 'give first take later'. Thank your partner for his help and support no matter how small the effort appears to be. That's you 'giving'. The taking part comes when he begins to believe that he is really helping you, and with that belief come the real genuine help and support you feel you need during the tough times. We have to give a little to get a lot.
I hope you feel better soon.
