"So you are busy for 14-16hours with your office work, cooking, taking care of house etc etc ,and the rest 8 hours for sleeping, so you are indirectly saying that I am nowhere in your life."

Thanks very much

The only weird part is the "so... so" construction. Better is "since..."

Also, be careful with "the rest." You can talk about "the rest of something" (singular), like "the rest of the time." If you want to talk about the remaining number of things (plural), then use the word other: "the other 8 hours"

Here's how I would say it:

Since you say that office work, cooking, and taking care of the house keep you busy for 14 to 16 hours of the day, while you are sleeping for the rest of the time,
-I can safely assume you mean that there is no room for me in your life.
or
-what you really mean is that I don't play a part in your life.
or
-you are indirectly saying that I am nowhere in your life (original).
