To be annoyed at DH

I was working today, overtime as we've not long bought a new house. Long day, 10 hours.

I got up this morning before him, as always, and walked 2 of the dogs. The other one gets a walk later as he's older and also needs to stay on the lead.

Get home from work, DH been off all day and he's not bothered to do it. Sat on the sofa all day drinking and watching TV.

For context I had the dogs before I met him but would it kill him to take the older one out for 20 minutes whilst I'm working all day so we can get stuff for our new house 😡

Of course you’re not being unreasonable.
Did you not say “you lazy git. I’ve been at work all day and you could have walked the dog. Why didn’t you?”
I really don’t understand a lot of the AIBU posts.
When a partner behaves selfishly like this why don’t they just talk to each other?

I think he see's them as my responsibility!

I buy all their food, cover all their costs etc, but I think part of being married is helping each other out.

I give up my time to do things for/with him and tbh I was shocked he'd been so selfish today.

I guess because I would never sit at home all day doing nothing whilst he was working, knowing something needed doing, I expected the same.

Maybe next time your on a day off op I suggest doing bugger all.
Walk the dogs and stop out for tea so you don't have to cook and then when he's due home position yourself on sofa with remote and coffee. Grin

Was your older dog able to access a garden during the day so he could do his business?

Not that that would excuse your lazy partner not walking your older dog. It would just be SO much worse if he left the dog desperate.

It's the difference between being cruel, and being selfish and lazy.

Yes we have a big garden and he would have been in and out all day.
