Genuinely not sure if I am being unreasonable hence asking here... my boyfriend of 18 months and I don't live together. I have a 5 year old DS and have always been on my own with him, so I can't go out loads in the evening. Anyway, my boyfriend has this thing where he will arrange to see us for a part of the day or evening, then head off somewhere else later. I don't like it, as it leaves me feeling flatter than if I had just been on my own the whole time. For example, this friday, we are meant to be going to see friends of his after school a 30 min drive away. Presumably I'd have to get myself and DS there. Then I thought we'd head back here together and have a drink in the garden when DS in bed. He has said he wants to go out later, so maybe he wouldn't even come back with us. I annoyed him by saying I thought he should choose - either we'll all hang out at his mates and then come back here together, or he should go out. I haven't seen him all week, and I'd like to spend a whole evening with him. He thinks I am being petulant and cutting off my nose to spite my face, but I genuinely would be fine if he did decide to go out - I can hang out with my sister and not rush through london at rush hour to get to his friends. Am I being unreasonable? He does this quite a lot... eg the other week, he persuaded me to come out, half an hour away (next to his flat) to see him and his friends, said he'd pay for the babysitter, then suddenly announced at closing time he wasn't coming back with me and I'd have to travel home alone. It makes me feel like he wants his cake and to eat it... but am I being unfair? I know you lot will be honest!
