DEAR DEIDRE: I DO everything for my little girl yet the only person she wants is her daddy.
We are in an unhappy relationship.
It upsets me that my daughter prefers being with her dad over me
For more advice from Dear Deidre
No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
We are both 30 and our daughter is our world but I no longer love my partner. He never makes me feel loved or desired.
The only thing he wants is sex but there is no romance so I turn him down.
Our daughter is two and even if we have a lovely day together, all she then wants is my partner.
She cries for him and constantly asks for him. I feel completely unappreciated.
It’s so hurtful that she wants him when he’s hardly here. I’m so unhappy.

DEIDRE SAYS: This is not about your daughter. It is about you and your relationship.
Many children your daughter’s age want the parent who is not there, so don’t take her pleading to heart.
If you are being good parents, then you are doing well.
But you are unhappy, so you need to tell your partner how you feel.
If you can improve your relationship, you will not feel resentful of her love for him.
My support pack called Relationship MOT should help you both get things back on track.
