Hello, 

you are not being unreasonable at all. I would expect my partners family to reach out to me. Don’t forget though that they may feel awkward about the subject and not want to upset you.

try talking it through with your partner and see if they are aware of how you feel and how the silence can be worse.

hope you feel better soon lovely x 

I loved my parents dearly, but sometimes they were just plain wrong when it came to family matters.  They seemed to think that when they needed help, other family members should magically know when to offer it.  And whenever I said to them "You should ask so-and-so for help", the response was invariably "We shouldn't have to ask. They should know we need help".   This was invariably cloaked with an air of resentment towards that person ... who, of course, lived on in blissful ignorance.  Meanwhile, I just shook my head, pondered the human condition, and wondered why there is so much misunderstanding around when humans are the only animals blessed with the gift of speech (and writing).
