Why do I feel utterly useless in my relationship?

I don't know whats wrong with me, I get a lump in my throat and can't hold back tears when thinking I don't do enough in my relationship...I have no one else to talk to?

@Jogadnbyt He does enough, day in and day out. I feel like all different things I try doesn't get enough validation and I just come across as clingy and overbearing, idk I guess I just have really low self esteem and I try to cover it up on a day to day basis and im sensitive...Idk my mind is a mess today
@MarHar99 join the club, maybe just try talking to him ?

@Jogadnbyt It's such a bug bear when everyone says "Just try talking" like that hasn't been an option? He looses patience when I try and talk, I lose patience when I try and talk. I think it's because I have no one else to talk to. I moved away for a better life and I have 0 friends apart from his family.
@MarHar99 ah right I see, just making a point, not being rude, I think couples ,in a perfect world should be two independent lives coming together, you can't live his life, as much as he can't live yours, and the old saying is true, familiarity breeds contempt. Hope you two can sort it and live happy

I'm definitely not living his life at all. We have our own lives, I was offered to live with his family for better work oppotunities, which was successful. I have no one else to talk to as I struggle to make friends, we aren't around each other a lot any how. I feel like it's difficult to explain when my head isn't clear. We are happy I'm just sensitive, emotional and have low self esteem.
