Hi @Mandy1 .....

You might already have logged off, but I thought I would drop a reply here anyway, whether you see it tonight or tomorrow.

I think an upset partner needs to know that we are present in their distress, no matter what it is, and while you need to be at work, you can’t be at-home present with Ms M ..... so perhaps there are other ways to be present with her .....

Can you send her a special selfie to put on her phone screen so every time she opens her phone, you are there ?

Can you create a time zone during the day that you will contact her and give her your undivided attention .... perhaps a few times across the day .... like during a coffee break, or your lunch hour ? Maybe text during coffee break, and chat during lunch ? That way she is aware of your work boundaries, but knows that she will receive your attention periodically, for now, because you both know that she needs the support.

This might work for you and your darling too @Determined ..... if you assign special time it can save on someone trying to draw attention from you at less convenient times, or very persistently.

These are just a couple of ideas about ways to be present in the relationship. I am hoping to start the thought-ball rolling so you will think along the same sort of lines and figure out some more options more tailored to yourselves.

G’night ..... 💕
