My boyfriend and I are in a LDR. He lives with his Dad and they work together all day. Usually my boyfriend works in his bedroom and his Dad is two rooms away. His Dad doesn't give him much privacy and often just walks into his room. Anyway. I have PMDD and a week before my period I get some really dark thoughts. I messaged my boyfriend about them for support. I'm in a really low place right now. And all he does is Whatsapp message me as usual. It would have been nice to hear his voice. I asked him why he didn't call me, and he said that he was worried about his Dad walking in. I said why can't you just tell him that you need some privacy to make a phone call? He said his Dad would hear through the wall. I said why not tell your Dad you need some fresh air then go for a walk round the corner and speak to me? I know I shouldn't rely on my boyfriend for support with my mental health but I am in such a low place, it would have been nice for him to care enough to call me. I just feel quite upset said he has all these excuses.

His Dad seems to have him under his thumb and it's really bothering me. One evening my boyfriend, his sister, her partner and my boyfriend's Dad were in a car and his Dad made a comment to my boyfriend's sister's boyfriend (confusing I know, sorry), about "Women drivers". I was disappointed he didn't say anything to his Dad.
