He must be too into his work, I'd have a chat with him asking for him to dedicate weekend time to his family seen as he's the dad aswell as you being the mum

@Steamtrane Family I mention it to him yesterday when he said he got work booked in for next weekend, and I said bloodyell might aswell be single we don't even see eachother anymore and his reply was well I'm just thinking of the money, yeah I understand we all need money but still, I feel like I'm just pushed away to the side, don't now how to come across without sounding nasty and it turning into an argument 🤦‍♀️

If it was me I’d ask if we could talk, once he’s sat I’d explain exactly how I’m feeling, like you feel like your losing the relationship, and you feel like a single mother. Explain how money isn’t important if it means losing everything you have in the process. Write it down if it helps so you remember all the things you need to say and just give him time in between each point to respond and see how you can move forward. Try and think of things you can work together on to get that time back. Have you considered going to work too? It may help if you are feeling lonely, you then get to meet other people and then he can’t use money as an excuse to work in his free time as you will also have an income to help with that. I hope you both work it out, good luck ❤️

@Kirstie thankyouu, I am going to say somthing today I just don't want it to come across the wrong way like, I do work myself tbh, I go work at 5.30am untill 8am Monday to Friday so he's hone with baby in the morning then when I get home he goes work, I also work in the afternoons on the days baby is in nursery also, so I littery don't see him much, I honestly feel like am single and we are just living like where mates now, all it is is money on his mind constantly and don't think he thinks it's affecting me not seeing him and him spending time with his son 🤦‍♀️ xx

Oh well he need to prioritise his family for sure. I think I’d question why it doesn’t affect him, does he seem happy in the relationship, is it doing it for other reasons etc. you need to make sure he listens and hears how you feel and if he doesn’t change or he doesn’t seem bothered id be considering leaving cause that’s not a relationship and it isn’t fair on you or your child xx

Try to set times to be together. Just like going to the gym. I’m in a similar situation with my husband but we have our time together on Wednesdays and on Saturday nights, even if it’s 30 mins it helps to reconnect.

I think men feel the need to be providers when you have a family to be honest, I have two kids (2 and 8 months) and their dad works away 6 days a week, comes back for 2 and then goes again for six days. we haven’t had a date night since I was pregnant with the 2 year old and it can get lonely but I understand he sees the bigger picture that right now he’s providing for our family whilst I do the main bulk of childcare etc and then when he’s home we make the most of being together as a family! I’d be honest with him about how you’re feeling and see what he says but wouldn’t automatically assume it’s because he’s gone off you x
