He’s not said anything but I can tell he’s disappointed with me. He’s been given 2x12 hour weekend shifts on top of his normal weekday hours, including the commute he’ll be out of the house 7.30am-10.30pm both Saturday and Sunday next week.
He said he wants the money and doesn’t want to let them down, but when I said I would spend the weekend in my hometown visiting friends and family in that case he went quiet and was clearly a bit upset. I think he expects me to stay home just to see him for an hour on Saturday night (he did ask won’t you come back on Saturday).
I will miss him like mad and we normally spend every weekend together, but I don’t see why I should be bored and lonely at home so that he can benefit from extra cash AND get away with not doing any weekend housework - at least there will be less to do if we’re both out!
I’m pretty skint myself and it would be cheaper to stay at my mums and catch up at friends houses than to go out with friends and entertain myself staying in London.
To be honest I’m not sure he can handle a 7 day week and experience tells me he’ll call in sick on one of those days anyway, but it won’t do his ego much good to point that out! I’d much rather spend the weekend with him, but that is not what he’s choosing so I don’t want to risk being left without plans.
