Am i being too sensitive?

AsterixSocialanxiety profile image

My husband just left me alone at the table during breakfast to talk to his sister. He finished his breakfast and just left me alone before i could finish mine because he got a call from his sister. I felt extremely terrible. I constantly feel like he is putting the rest of his family over me. This has been a constant feeling throughout the 5 years of our marriage. Am I being too sensitive? Should i let it slide or should i talk to him? I have told him several times i feel this way, i dont want to come across as nagging anymore

Hi. What has he said before when you've brought it up?

He says i am top priority for him but his actions are always the opposite. Sometimes the first thing he wants to do in the morning after freshening up is talk to his mother which is very annoying. He does this only if i haven't already woken up but will go on to talk to her in kitchen for hours together whereby if i have to enter the kitchen after him i have to talk with her as well even though i don't want to. The other day he forgot to make lunch on time because he was busy talking to his family. He starts work later than i do but that meant i had to eat lunch during a meeting. It just hurts so much to be made to feel second.

Have you tried telling him all this? People don’t always realize the affect they have on others. Neither are people mind-readers (I'm not being critical here; this is actually something my psychiatrist needed to tell me since I tend to assume that others should know what's going on with me). I recommend you talk to him about how his actions make you feel.
