My DX Partner Cant See My POV

Thank you for taking your time to read and respond!

We did have contact the night before and I had messaged him that day, which I got no response until later that night. I honestly understand how someone could be defensive because of how busy or stressed they were but I think in my defence if my partner did that I wouldn’t be, I’d rather think I’d be very compassionate and tell them I’m sorry and that I’d try harder to do what’s important to them. I don’t think I made it clear in my post but I’m not asking for lengthy conversations or even quick ones, just simple short texts that could simply be “Hi baby, blah blah blah, I’ll talk to you tonight” that’s all I’m really asking for. This issue of ours isn’t something new too, I think that’s why it hurts me so much how invalidated my needs are.

Your last point is something I really relate to and struggle with, I think it’s because how I am able to understand someone’s point of view and feelings without having to argue over it that when I have to do that with him, it really drains my energy and at the end of the day all I want is to be heard and know my views will be respect as much as I would respect his. I just want to be seen and listened too...
