Would you leave your partner for not spending quality time together?
Would you leave your kids father if he literally never spent any family quality time with you and your kids? When I say I literally BEG my sons dad to just do anything with us I mean it. I constantly am asking to do something even if it’s just as simple as just going to the park for an hour or staying home and get some snacks and watch a movie or do a fun craft with our son just SOMETHING to do together but it legitimately NEVER happens. All he does is work and when he gets off work he never comes straight home even if we’ve made plans he will just make other plans on top of it and not mention a word about the plans we had, he either goes to his brothers house to hang out, goes to his moms house to hang out, or just “runs errands” until 7-8pm or well after dark and tells me sorry his phone died, then goes to bed. Just yesterday I told him I wanted to get a pizza and take our son to the park to play with him because all we do is sit at home since I don’t have a car, he takes it to work every day and he told me yeah we can do that as soon as he gets off but sure enough he didn’t mention a single word about it and when I asked him when he was getting off work he said he had already been off and was at his brothers sons baseball game in another county because it was the last game of the season and he didn’t want to miss it. For one he could have took us with him to that but he didn’t even tell me he was going, and again just made plans with other people right on top of ours like always. I wasn’t even mad I’m so used to it, I could seriously list about 100 more times I’ve asked him to do something with us and he tells me yes then it never happens. The very very few occasions we do get to do something, it’s plans his family made that he just tags us along to and the whole time we’re with him he’s busy talking to his family and doesn’t even hardly talk to me or our son like it’s ridiculous it’s NEVER something with just OUR family. Our son is 2 and I’m getting reallyyy depressed just sitting at home with him all day every day and being alone with absolutely no other adult interaction EVER. I’ve tried telling him I’m depressed and just wish he would spend more time with us or get us out of the house at least sometimes because we are always cooped up but I swear he doesn’t care. Like I want to be with someone who already WANTS to spend family time with us I shouldn’t have to beg for that. Am I just being dramatic or is this a valid enough reason to seriously leave someone? Idk if I can deal with it much longer I’m tired of waiting on him to become a “family man” and tired of him never keeping his word to me and our son. I feel like we come last.
