Here are some options for the former. “What's been different?” “I have something to talk about. Can we find a good time?” “I noticed that we haven't been together as much. Have you?” “I know it might sound like extra pressure. That's not my intent.” “Hey I've been feeling a bit neglected lately.”

Read More »So, you’re feeling a bit neglected by your partner. This isn’t unusual to experience, especially for parents, because — spoiler alert — kids change a lot about your life. Chances are, you planned for, or at least expected, the shift. But there are still times when you need a little more from your significant other. And that can be hard to admit. “Having needs makes it seem like you’re needy,” offers Sarah Epstein, licensed marriage and family therapist in Dallas and author of Love in the Time of Medical School. To have needs may go against the ingrained idea that you should always be the one who solves problems, not creates them. But expressing your needs is not being needy. In fact it’s part of being in a relationship where you ask for stuff and where the other person gives you what you might be missing, and vice versa. Still, vulnerability is difficult — especially because your partner is also busy and has needs of their own. And maybe you never had to ask for attention before because attention was always given to you before kids, and you don’t have those muscles. Dropping hints, you think, might be better, but such passive behavior likely isn’t going to work. The initial challenge, then, is working up the guts to say how you feel, and the first step is to acknowledge that what you’re feeling is not nothing. “You’re lonely for good reason,” says Ellyn Bader, psychologist and co-founder/CEO of The Couples Institute. “You were the center of attention before the kids came along.” The next step is thinking about what happens when you stay silent. Short answer: Nothing good. You become resentful. You start looking for attention elsewhere or you fold further inward. Neither road leads to places you want to go. So you have ample motivation, but telling your partner your feelings is still tricky. There are plenty of ways to broach the topic. Some are good, a lot are bad and only serve to make things worse. Here are some options for the former.

It could be getting slammed at work for either one of you, an upcoming family visit, or that you haven’t been able to find a babysitter for months. When you consider your partner’s perspective, you naturally pause, become more reflective and come into the conversation with both empathy and details. That’s necessary. “When you can name it, you can address something,” Epstein says. 2. “I have something to talk about. Can we find a good time?” There really never is a great time when you have young kids, but issues often get raised at night, which really is the worst time. You’re both tapped out, and your partner particularly since it’s been another day of constant requests that turn into demands. By saying the above, you’re requesting time and giving a heads-up to an important conversation so your partner can go in prepared. A natural question could be, “What’s this about?” Don’t answer it, unless you want to have a train wreck exchange right then and there. Instead, say, “It’s nothing bad and it’s nothing you did wrong. I just want to talk about something.” Or, if it fits, say, “You know how you always want me to be more open? That’s what this is about but I want to find the best time for us.”

You’re sounding like another mouth to feed, so show your understanding by adding in, “I know you’re exhausted and depleted.” But also know that requests for attention can go through a filter and be heard like wanting physical intimacy and that might not be anywhere on your partner’s wish list. Be sure to stress that it’s about finding time together, and, “Help her get it that you’re caring about the relationship,” Bader says.
