To tell (D)H where to stuff it!

I work 4 days a week, DH works full-time. I bring way more to the table financially (this isn't particularly relevant, apart from making the point that I more than keep up my contributions to the family finances).

I usually go to the gym on a Friday morning (drop DC off at school/nursery at 8.30, collect DS1 at midday, then back to school in the afternoon to collect DS1 and friend). Today DS2 is having someone round to play. I'm trying to make more of an effort for him so he can have some social interaction outside school hours.

So, I'm not going to the gym this morning like I usually would. Instead I'm shopping for food and cleaning so I don't die of embarrassment when the visiting child is collected. We have a cleaner, but you can't get away with just cleaning once a week (well I can't).

So, DH gets on his high horse this morning about me not having time to go to the gym today. I ask him how he suggests I fit everything in that I have to do today. I also suggest that if he has a problem with it, then maybe he can take a day of his annual leave to do it instead (rather than keeping days back so he can play golf) and I'll be more than happy to spend the day going to the gym/meeting a friend for lunch etc. He didn't seem to be too keen on that idea!

I'm just so pissed off with him. Every day I work to the wire. My job is demanding, I work with international clients so I'm often in meetings in the evening as well as working all day. If I had time to go to the sodding gym today, believe me I would!

Do what you want. What's it to do with him if you don't go? Controlling much?!

Hand him a duster and the children and go off to the gym this evening.

What weird behaviour.

HenriettaTurkey · 15/05/2015 08:27

Do you enjoy the gym? This is weird and controlling of your DH.

What?! He shouldn't be nagging you about going to the gym! How controlling and rude!
