Does you S/O give you enough attention?

[SmileyNY]

Yes. He's always very caring and attentive. Even at this very moment. I told him I had a stomach ache last night. He's fast asleep right with his hand on my stomach Lol. My honey.

We text all day while at work... more than we should probably lol. We eat dinner at the dinning table every night. Work out together. Everythang lol.

We're both working on more "me time". He's going to start a business class soon and I'm going to start an arial yoga class today.

I'm in the exact same situation. I actually had to keep reading your post to make sure I didn't write it lol. I have talked to SO countless times but he doesn't get it. I'm at the point where I need to really decide if this is the right situation for me. He's great, but I need my quality time with him. Have you told your SO how you feel?

I've told him I feel ignored and neglected but I haven't told him I'm at the point where I might leave cuz I'm so unsure of it, I kinda feel bad about complaining too cuz he has the best intentions he's saving up to pay off some bills improve his credit and buy an income property, he even hinted about saving to buy a ring next year but idk if we can make it to next year if I barely see him this year

He is very affectionate and touchy-feely (just cause, not only when he wants sex), and he talks SO MUCH! Sometimes I wish he wouldn't feel the need to tell me everything about everything.

 

[GeorginaSparks]

yup im very moody and he knows when to back off or give me attention depending on my mood.

 

[Babysaffy]

He is good at given me the time I require. Lol When we first met just looking at him I thought he was hard.....

My mind went to dirty places

My SO and I both like our space a lot but tend to be alternately clingy at the wrong times lol

There were times in the past where I snuck out of the house and he'd not noticed as he was so wrapped up in his books or online and I used to get quite upset but I've grown used to it now.

I can be a ****** about watching certain TV shows alone or not wanting him all up under me when I'm cooking so it swings both ways.

He's not the type to shower me with attention or put me on a pedestal and he laughs at men who are like that but he knows how to be romantic at times and watching how affectionate with our three year old son is beautiful to me although I joke that I'm a bit jealous and vice versa.

The rare times we're both feeling lovey dovey are often brief but amazing..

ETA. To answer the question lol I now realise now that he gives me enough as any more and I'd probably take him for granted, get sick of it or become a spoiled brat.

Does he tell you stories he's already told you lol.

I don't stop him at the moment but I may in the future lol.

Constantly. I've developed this technique to make him believe I'm listening, while I'm completely tuning him out. My sister does it to her husband now

He can't just say 'I had to fix the Jeep', he has to explain the whole process. It gets annoying and I don't want to tell him to shut up, cause I just don't care about those details. Men can be delicate.

Yeah, sometimes I ask him something about a task just to be polite then regret it for the next 15 minutes ~_~

What's the technique? I need it too

 

[Theresamonet]

It's hit or miss with my SO. It depends on what he is doing when I decide that I want attention. It goes both ways though, cause he's gotten upset with me for "ignoring" him.

My SO retells me stories that I told him. At least I know he's listening.

 

[SophieDulce]

He does give me a lot attention, but I kind if demand it. I get *****y if he doesn't. He's a workaholic so when we have time together I like him to focus on me. But when it comes to sports, I don't exist lol!

 

[Petal26]

Basically I just nod and "uh huh", "oh really?", etc., and every 2 minutes or so I'll ask him a simple question based on 2 or 3 key words I heard He's like "I'm glad you asked about that" and goes on and on and on

I would hate for you to lose out on a great relationship due to him being ambitious. Let him work and know that he has you included in his rewards from his hard work. Just be patient and know it will be for the benefit of both of you. This is your time to get out and do all the things you want to do that doesn't include a man. Enjoy all that your space has to offer, so when it comes together you won't feel the need to want that me time. Take a class or something and take advantage of the time you have to do something you probably have always wanted to do. That way, you won't even think about him being busy because you will be doing you. THEN when he is caught up and has that property and the financial burden has been removed...ENJOY EACH OTHER.

Now you do know you have to be careful what you wish for! He gets it together and be stuck to you like lace front wig with glue and double sided tape! You'll come back and start a thread about how to get him away and how you miss your me time! LOL!

 

[Allandra]

Yes indeed. He always gives me lots of attention, and I don't have to ask.
