Question - (26 September 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 26 September 2010)
A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

i've been with my partner for 4yrs. in that time i've helped him doing jobs for his family, helped renovate his flat and spend my free time chasing around doing the things he wants to do, all of which i enjoyed. the problem is that i've had a rather hard time and lost my home and job last yr. i'm now getting back on my feet but i've had no help from my partner. i've asked him for help and he simply refuses saying he hasn't got time and as i'm not working i've got more than enough time to do everything myself. he still expects me to drop what im doing to help put in an en suite for his sister. the other day we were coming home and i asked him to call in at the local shop and he ranted saying he was sick of running round after me. he doesnt visit my family with me anymore and generally treats me as though im beneath him. i'm desperately trying to rebuild everything i lost, including my self esteem and he seems to be taking advantage to feel better about himself. we've spoken about it and i've told him how he's making me feel. he apologises then does it again. i'm not afraid to be on my own and i love him but i cant continue to feel like his pet. what can i do?

it's good to hear from someone who has insight! you've only confirmed what i really know. i feel that my spirit's nearly gone and i'm letting myself down. i deserve better! wether it's getting him to treat me with a bit more respect or moving on. i know what i have to do. it's going to be hard but i appreciate your honesty. thankyou.x
