Partner works some Saturdays on top of that he teaches kids a hobby Saturday and Sunday mornings. It’s something he’s really passionate about and I never want to stop him doing this the hobby is done for free and I’m super proud of him as the hobby dosnt charge and is free for all the children. We met During Covid so the hobby wasn’t really able to run so I’ve had him all to myself on the weekends. It’s now back on and since he’s been working or at this hobby. He asked me last night to say if I ever felt the hobby was to much. But I can’t I don’t want him to stop the hobby but at the same time I’m annoyed as our one full weekend together is spent with me waiting for him he left at 8.30 and said he would be home at 12 he’s then got the hobby again tomorrow. The hobby came before I did so I guess I don’t want to say anything I just want to rant

Why wouldn’t you answer him when he’s asked? You can explain exactly what you have here, that it would be nice to have some weekend mornings together, but you’d never ask him to stop on your behalf etc. He may be happy to swap things around, or take the occasional week off if enough others are around. Or he may not want to, but you’ve both been honest with each other.

He’s already taken some days off for our holidays and a family bbq I should of said something but he’s not been able go for almost a year and he was so happy to be back teaching it’s something he loves so I didn’t want to say anything the first day he goes back but I will have another chat if I feel it’s to much once I’m able to
