Mother’s Day drama
My partner(46)M and I (38)F have been together for about 8 years now. We have three littles. Just recently lost a baby, and my partner lost his daughter from a previous marriage last year around this time.
Mother’s Day morning he didn’t say a word. He didn’t buy anything. Let alone make me a coffee. I don’t ask for much. I take care of our kids as he works a lot. Every other year he has done something for me. This year was different. I tried understanding that he may be grieving but it hurt not feeling loved or appreciated.
We are now in a fight because he stated it wasn’t an important holiday, and I am not his mother and that he was going through a lot this month. This is his excuse the past year for anything he does wrong. Do I just drop it?
TL;DR
Me and my partner are in an argument because he thinks I’m being dramatic about Mother’s Day. I don’t want to drop it because I feel like this is a constant issue this past year with any special day.
