Tonight I was having a video chat with my other half, we don't do it often and we set it up as a date night & had a few beers.. It's lovely, he's lovely lol
After about 3 pints of cider (mixed with bud light) I had the 'brilliant' idea to phone my dad! Beer ettc lol.. I have a broken relationship with my dad, and it breaks my heart, it's been about 2 years now 😕
Aynhow, my aibu is concerning my fella.. He was really upset that I was using our time together to speak to another family member.. One that I miss because of a fractured relationship, long story..... 😭

If it was the other way around everyone would be saying he was wrong.

Last time I spoke to my father was 2 days ago.
Well I say spoke, he sent me some Anti Vaxer nonsense and it's all a lie crap.
I ignored him.

He left when I was 14. I'm now 31. I've seen him twice in person since.

I’m living alone at the moment. I have a fiancé but he doesn’t want to marry me or live with. I’m shielding because of critical health problems but he didn’t want to shield with me.

I haven’t been out for two months, I haven’t had physical contact with another person for 2 months, the only person I have seen is the Tesco delivery guy - who ensures he stays 2m away from me at all times. I’m lonely and very afraid for my health if I do catch this virus. My mental health is also sinking fast.

My fiancé is very busy so we don’t get to catch up much. But last night we had a “date night” planned. I had been looking forward to it for days. Mid conversation (when we were getting on fine) he suddenly decided to phone his dad - who he has been estranged for for 2 years.

AIBU to be really upset that he decided that our date night could just be dropped?

You also call him your BF but you are engaged? I can see why he’s miffed.
