Often, it is hard to know whether the ways one is using to seek attention are healthy or not. It is normal to crave attention from your partner, and you have to ask yourself if you are craving attention because they are not providing you with adequate validation. If you are using unhealthy ways to seek attention - that might need addressing. If the partner brings it up as an issue, that might be worth addressing. I think more context is important here for us to help you.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Jaz xx</P> Mon, 23 Jan 2023 05:16:29 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/seeking-attention-in-relationship/m-p/557487#M48046 jaz28 2023-01-23T05:16:29Z
