Been together 5 years. Been to 'his' favourite festival 4 years on the trot. Last year I suggested we have a change and go to a festival that is more 'my' taste next year. He said absolutely not, he can't possibly miss 'his' festival.
Every time we go out it has to be to see a band, gig, concert, festival. I'd like to go for a meal and a few quiet drinks where we can talk and connect. We never do - instead, if we go out it is always a gig or festival type thing. If I suggest my type if night he makes an excuse about money/being tired/crap venue etc etc.
There was a band I really wanted to see in November. He agreed to it months ago. Then all of a sudden there's a band on in November 'he' wants to see. Guess who lost out.
There was a problem with the hotel. We got a free night to use in the next 6 months as compensation. Not once did he say "is there anything you fancy doing?". Instead he told me there was a band on he wanted to see in November and we should use the free night on that.
He's been promising to take me to cinema for months. It's still to happen.
Well it all came to a head tonight when I saw photos on facebook of families out to dinner together. I said "we should do that more often". He replied that we can't possibly go out as my teens don't behave so he feels he can't leave the house. Funny then how that didn't stop him going to see the band at weekend, nor did it stop him seeing that other band a few weeks earlier. Nor did it stop him booking his festival for next year. He said that was all before our latest trip ended by us coming home and my boys falling out ON THE NIGHT we were home and fighting. Funny then how THIS MORNING he was telling to to arrange my annual leave for this next band in Feb and yesterday talking about us booking the festival for next year.
He's now saying "yes well now I've decided I never want to go out again". Yes, now that I'm trying to arrange something 'I' want to do. He wasn't saying that this morning.
I'm sick of it. Whenever I try and do something to my taste he throws his toys out of the pram and says he's never going out again. Until this particular argument blows over and he's booking his next band.
I don't mix well so don't have friends I can do these things with so I'm stuck doing everything he wants to do and I'm fed up.
