I relocated 80 miles to be with DP pre children. We now have two DC, aged two and one.
I love it where I am but having my family and friends so far away with two little ones has been quite tough. My family and friends do make the effort to come to see us but I want to visit them more often.
Every time I try to make plans for us to visit my family and friends, DP moans that he is at work all week (I'm a SAHM) and I should just go alone on weekdays without him to go and see them so he can have weekends here to relax. He has a long commute (3 hrs plus a day). I pointed out that a lot of my friends work so I can only really see them evenings and weekends. Plus it is easier generally when he is around as DC2 not walking yet.
We have made arrangements to
go to visit some friends of mine in a few weeks time (Saturday) and he said "I'll just have to write that day off then"
AIBU to expect him to make the effort to see my old friends from time to time given his commuting time? Or should I just go alone? FWIW I always go with him and the kids to see his friends and family on weekends etc.

AIBU?
To want him to make more of an effort to see my friends and family?
