Last night, I was feeling extremely, extremely low. I went to my fiance for support, who in turn told me to read a bible, look at the upside of life "instead of the downtime all the time" and said he was going to sleep. This was through text. Well I was pretty bothered by his lack of care and response when I came to him for help. I sent him a message telling him this, and Well, this morning he texts me again saying "text me when you wake up and let me know If the baby is ok." He doesn't care how I am. I just feel like Nuisance. Like asking for support is too much to ask of someone else. I'm really hurt by his lack of support, and him not even caring about how I'm doing. I don't even LIKE going to anyone when I feel badly, but I was being strong and I went for support. That's what I'm supposed to do right? ! He always told me he would be there for me no matter what, and that i could depend on him when I need him. But this situation told me otherwise. I really don't have anyone else that I can talk to, so losing my only support because I can't trust him to be there for me any, really sucks.

I'm sorry you're feeling so down. I know it sucks.
I can't /won't go to my husband for support. Any problem I have, he pretty much blows it off. That's if he even listened in the first place.
I never had any friend or relative that I could talk to either. Finally started therapy abot 13 yrs ago. Took years to learn to trust the therapist.
It may be a small consolation, but at least you have this forum to vent and hopefully get feedback. Hope you're doing better!

I have the same issue. I receive no emotional support from my significant other or my mom. They are just not interested in my issues. My significant other has no patience for my problems/concerns. Not having any emotional support has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to endure. It's almost impossible to have a meaningful relationship without any emotional support.

Yeah, I hate when people just tell you to "look at the bright side" or suggest some religion-based solution, like "read the bible" or "pray". I basically take it as "I can't help you go ask someone else".

I am so sorry that you are feeling like this. You do matter - a GREAT deal. I know what it feels like to feel like you don't and that you are just bothering people. I have been there and it is hard. Have you spoken with a counselor at all? I know of a place you can call for free counseling if you are interested let me know.

Live, Laugh, and Cantor on
