Fed up with stubbornly being told I’m entirely wrong, about EVERYTHING, under all circumstances, and made to think I’m insane, so I’m curious…do you seek out your partner on returning home to say ‘hello’ and do you say ‘goodnight’ before going to bed? (If I can work out how I’ll add a pole.) Thanks in advance.

Oh and obv feel free to take the p!ss to your hearts content. If I couldn’t take it, I wouldn’t have posted, so knock yourself out.

I say hello and goodnight, most of the evening we're doing stuff in separate rooms though

Yes, say hello and goodnight. The only exceptions are those blissful couple of days after a row where she has decided she isn't talking to you, and thinks it some sort of punishment, you don't want to ruin that by being too friendly.

As I work shift, I say hello and goodbye everytime home to work or work to home.

Always shout out hello when I come in, unless I was only in the garden. She may answer from the west wing or not. If there has been a silence...............I always say, I am ready to talk when you are just let me know! I also have the advantage that my wife told me I was perfect. In fact she said.. and you're bloody perfect you are. I rest my case.

Maybe you and your partner aren’t meant to be together.

I do always say hi when coming home and one of us will pop our head into say good night as we head upstairs.

What I would be more concerned about from your OP is being made to feel you are wrong about everything all the time. To be honest that’s not right and not healthy and eventually will get too much. I don’t know you obviously so don’t want to say anything too inflammatory but that needs sorted.

Thanks man. I agree. Appreciate you taking the time. (Tactfully.) It’s tough to have your point of view invalidated at every turn, told your feelings are baseless and that I shouldn’t feel the way I do or that I’m overreacting, only to be punished if I ever voice concern. It’s not even about being right or wrong, just to have the other person see another perspective from time to time would be so much healthier.
