To not want to do something exciting every weekend?

Dp is lovely and as he works so hard in the week he loves a nice weekend...don't we all!. Thing is...he needs to do something exciting every weekend. I love trips to the beach, clubbing, zoos, ski experiences and campfires as much as the next person but occasionally i want to slob around in pjs warching strictly as im doing a very demanding course.
We are going camping this weekend and the tought of putting a tent up makes me shudder as i had a crap night sleep last night.
Trouble is, i do want to spend time with him as i miss him during the week but a gentle stroll or pub lunch will do me just as well.

YANBU. I like to do interesting stuff but not every single weekend. I need time to recharge my batteries and just potter around a bit.

Also, even if I was literally dying of boredom I would still poke my eyes out with a stick rather than go camping.

I think i will have a chat...we don't need to be joined at the hip!
I thought the obvious thing would have been to do that in the first place instead of coming to MN!

This is why i like winter, don't get me wrong I love summer but feel the need to be out doing something all the time.

Dog walk to a cosy pub for a roast on a Sunday with the kids is an ideal weekend.

Since the kids started school a few years ago we have refused invitations to parties etc on some weekends when we have just had too much else going on. It's liberating.

Here come the ltb types...i am not splitting up with him...i want to do exciting things sometimes...what a bunch of drama lamas!
I do speak well of him " i love him for it" ...it dosnt take long for the relationship killers to pile in!

We try and do something to get out even if it's going into the town centre and having a look in the shops.I love lazy mornings though especially when the weather is shit and you can hibernate without feeling that you are "wasting" the day.

I so know where your coming from, we used to have a caravan and every Friday after work we would pack it up hitch it to the car and off we would go ,sometimes to a muddy field or campsite where hubby could fish,then pack it all up again on a Sunday afternoon and come home ,then unpack the caravan again and do a load of washing and try to get sorted for the week ahead, it was exhausting to say the least, needless to say as we have gotten older we can't do it anymore and although we had some lovely times (bloody hard work for me)I'm glad it's gone.
