My DH is always going on stag dos or so it seems. Maybe 2 a year, always abroad, always a long weekend. DH also has to go away with work from time to time which can also involve golfing weekends and such like. I have to look after DCS when he's away with no family close by to help me, I also have a stressful job during the week and find these long weekends on my own with DCS relentless.
When is enough, enough? DH is currently away on another stag do, so close to Christmas, we have a ton of things going on, I've been having a really tough time lately with health etc. DH had a lot of frinds and I know he doesn't like to turn them down or let them down, but I can't shake the thought that he's letting me down at a time I need him most...
Then there's the money. He never budgets and I find myself budgeting for him and having to point out that he can't actually afford these big stag dos abroad twice a year and that putting it all on credit cards is not acceptable.
I know everyone is different and would tolerate different things, but are these stag dos just becoming a bit much now that DH has a family and responsibilities?
DH would gladly let me go off with friends for a weekend, but I'd rather be able to afford a family holiday, DH doesn't see that we can't afford to do both! Thanks in advance!
