Why does this bother me???
I’m going to preface that I feel kinda stupid for feeling this way and so that’s why I’m here typing this out because I need to fkning vent so I don’t lose all my marbles gyrating my brain too fast …
Alright, so my partner (29M) is on socials everyday, mostly between doing things at work and then on weekends we try and keep it light because wow we finally have time to spend with each other that isn’t drained from working (lol). I (28F) have chatted with my partner before on how I would really appreciate him making the effort to not just like or heart a post I make but try to comment too (I only really post updated profile pics and it’s usually of the two of us). This is because I want it to feel like he cares about it? Like what makes what I shared different than what other people or who he follows shares that he likes/hearts etc. (including exes posts too — I.e., you may heart a post update on of your exes, whatever, but then I feel like you then do the same thing to mine and you don’t try that much more, even though it’s me???). I just wanted that little bit of added effort that shows he cares? (Ps, I’m aware enough of myself that I feel incredibly stupid typing this out and for caring about this at all, but I’m trying and I can’t stop caring).
So yeah, even though I did chat with his directly about this (I’m not great at mincing my words and tend to be more on the blunt side) … I recently posted a new profile pic of him, me and our dog annnndddddddd hours later when I invisibly go on socials again I see he hearted it BUT AGAIN NOTHING … I’m losing marbles so here is my vent :/
