I want to just add to my post that my husband never seems to be interested when I tell him if I’ve been feeling tired.
So a day ago I told him I had been feeling tired in the day and he said he had been feeling ok. He did not ask at all about why I felt tired just that he was ok then today I had felt tired again in the afternoon and I told him and like last time, he did not ask me why I felt like that again. I got ignored.
He went on about him having a crap day and all about what had happened to him. To wrapped up himself and I thought what a horrible selfish person he is to ignore me.
I sat there and did not answer him much because I realise he was not interested in me when I got ignored.
I told him before I went to bed that he ignored me when I told him about feeling tired and he did not reply. I got ignored again. what does that say about him.
Now I feel I have little interest in talking to him or telling him anything or even listening to him when he tells me anything to do with his job or his day. when he’s just a selfish self absorbed person
Hey Heweq, welcome to the forums!
Here is a link to your original post:

I want to say, it is perfectly fine for you to respond to your own, existing post if you'd like to add more. I do it pretty often.
"He does work full time for a company, I work part time. I think I only wanted him just to ask me once how’s it going and that would have been alright but to not ask me anything is not right. I’ve been there asking him stuff about his work. Ok so should I never ask him about his job if he starts to talk about it and treat him how he treats me and show no interest?"
I get that you work part-time, but you also have a kid and spend quite a bit of time parenting. So I get it, you have a really busy day, at least as much as any full-time worker would.
That said, full-time work can be physically draining. After 8 or 12 hours somewhere, you really just kind of want to come home and relax, and not do too many extra errands.
Your post reminds me a little of my girlfriend. She probably feels similarly to you. But the thing is, I have so many of my own problems at my own job, it's hard to feel much concern for her job yet. Yes, I worry whenever she tells me about problems she's having at work with certain people. At the same time, it just makes me more concerned about our stability whenever we're both having problems at both of our jobs.
Maybe your husband is in a similar boat?
"He once said his day begins at 8.30am. His work phone has rang early some mornings about 8 and he has had emails come through in the evenings at 6pm or 7pm. He has answered them straight away.
He never turns his phone off when he gets home but I know he has checked it many times after work hours just to see if anyone as been onto him.
I said if that was me I would not answer any emails or calls until my days starts which his is 8.30am."
This depends a lot on what your husband's role is at his company. If he is in a management position, then he might be responsible for being available much of the night even when he isn't on the job. His workers may have questions, and he may be the only contact to reach out to for help.
