Partner picked a gym class over seeing family

Dp is obsessive about the gym. He has his own fitness classes he runs but they are closed over the festive period. He has been every day bar Christmas Day to other gyms to “network” and see people. Fine. We’ve done nothing together though - not even a walk. We’ve watched some films and stuff but mostly been looking after the kids.

He went this morning to a class for 2 hours. Which is fine by me, I planned to go and see my grandma who I haven’t seen this Christmas. My grandma asked me to ask DP to come over after the gym so I asked him at 2pm. He said he couldn’t because he was tired from this mornings class and wanted to sleep this afternoon because he is going again to another class at 7pm. I said okay and left it there. It would’ve taken him 30 mins to get here, but didn’t want to make him come.

He’s since text me numerous times asking if I’m okay, which I’m not but I’m not having an argument over text and I can’t really say I’m upset because you chose the gym over me.

Aibu? I get if it’s his classes but we rarely get time together and he’s chosen to sleep and not see my family when I have seen his family over this festive period.

I am really upset. I feel like I make so many sacrifices and efforts. I have given up my annual leave to see his family when needed.

You've answered your own question OP.

Ask yourself WHY am I doing all this ?

Seems obsessive but it wasn't his family? Wasn't it your grandma (maybe I read incorrectly).

What is he bringing to the table OP

I was fully prepared to say YABU but now I've read your post I think you need to get rid

Tired from a class but then going again later!!!!!

Nah, bye bye

Exactly, I wouldn’t be that hurt if he was just tired but he’s just trying to get some rest in before going again? Ridiculous.

You’ll need to tell communicate or nothing will change.
