💔 What to Do When Your Partner Doesn’t Consider You

Love Report Card Companion – CONSIDERATION (For the Unseen Partner)

By The Amazing Clarks

“It’s not that they don’t love me. It’s that they don’t think about me.”

That hits deep. Because the pain of being unconsidered isn’t always loud. It’s quiet. It builds. And one day you realize… you’ve become an afterthought in your own relationship.

If you scored high in Consideration but feel like your partner didn’t—even a little—this blog is for you.

🧠 Consideration = Emotional Respect

When your partner forgets your needs, minimizes your time, or acts without checking in—it doesn’t just inconvenience you. It disrespects your emotional reality.

You’re not asking for control. You’re asking for mutual awareness.

🚫 Why Complaining Doesn’t Work

You’ve probably tried to say:

• “You never think about how I feel.”

• “I feel like an afterthought.”

• “Why do I have to ask for everything?”

And what happens? They get defensive. Say you’re “too sensitive.” Flip the script. Retreat.

It’s not that your needs are wrong—it’s that your approach might be triggering ego, not empathy.

🔄 Shift from Criticizing to Clarifying

Instead of accusing, try:

“When you forget [X], it makes me feel unimportant. I know you don’t mean it that way, but I need more shared awareness in this relationship.”

Lead with impact—not attack.

💡 How to Invite More Consideration (Without Begging for It)

✅ 1. Be Specific About What Matters to You

People can’t meet needs they don’t understand. Spell it out—not with resentment, but with love.

✅ 2. Acknowledge Effort When It Happens

Even the small stuff. Reinforce the behavior you want repeated.

✅ 3. Model What You Want—Without Keeping Score

When you show consistent care, you raise the standard. Just don’t do it with bitterness or manipulation. Be clean. Be kind. Be clear.

✅ 4. Ask This Game-Changer Question

“What’s something you’ve noticed I do that makes you feel seen—and is there anything I could do better?”

This creates emotional safety—while planting the seed for them to ask the same in return.

✍️ Self-Reflection Prompts

• Am I expressing my needs clearly—or expecting mind-reading?

• Have I created an environment that inspires mutual consideration?

• How can I lovingly lead the relationship to higher standards?
