What to do when you feel uncared for by your partner?

There’s small things that he does such as showing up really late or being on the phone while I’m talking to him that makes me feel unloved.

Being late seems he has time issues. My wife has the same issuie. We completely missed a date night one day because she spent 3 hours getting ready. It drove me nuts waiting. The place was closed by the time we left. But her losing track of time is something I have gotten use to and will just either keep reminding her of the time which sometimes is not the best thing to do because she starts feeling rushed or ill find something else to do while I wait. The question you need to ask yourself is this something you can get use to. Keep reminding him of the time and eventually he will start showing up on time. Compliment him when he does show up on time, maybe even give him a kiss or something he likes that you do. As far as being on the phone, tell him that if your not special enough to have his undivided attention, then you can go elsewhere or find other people to spend time with. Make a rule of not being on the phone at certain times and make sure you follow it yourself. Hope that helps

You address the issue with him.

I tried. He told me not to focus on the small things. Also he’ll like fix the things I tell him about but do other things that bring up the conversation again.

Endless cycle. Well you could call it quits with him, but before you do at least sit down and look at what he Does do for you. His good qualities. Is it a dealbreaker or does the good outweigh the bad small things? Don't answer me, but answer this for yourself and take action based on what you concluded.
