I’m naturally an introvert so possibly feeling this more.
I work full time Mon-Fri in a busy job.
DH also works full time and tends to go fishing for a couple of nights at the end of the week unless we’ve got plans. We both get time on our own and then spend Sunday together which works well. No kids, one dog.
We’ve got plans every weekend now until the middle of September - due to family BBQs, birthdays (his family, not mine - both my parents are deceased).
I get on really well with his family but feel a bit drained by the social expectations. I don’t like leaving our dog for more than 4-5 hours and the upcoming bbq is bound to be most of the day. I tend to drive as not fussed about drinking so DH will have a few beers and then be over relaxed, making me feel like a bit of a nag about getting home.
We can’t take the dog with us.
After a week of non stop talking to people, I want to switch off a bit at the weekends.
Is it just me being unsociable? I prefer small groups of close friends every now and then, not weekend after weekend.
Bah humbug 🫣
YABU - there’s nothing wrong with those plans, get on with it
YANBU - yes it sounds full on, I’d be irritated too.
