Pissed off with dh

Dh works away Monday to Friday, back late fri afternoon. I work Monday till Saturday. We get the evenings together on Friday, evenings on Saturday and all day Sunday.
Dh went and helped a family member with moving today, and went and seen friends and is now playing xbox at a friends house when he said he would only be an hour and we could watch a movie when he got back. I usually fall asleep around 11pm after been at work all day and he’s not back over two hours later. I’m a bit angry tbh because we don’t get much time and I’m alone every sodding night and tonight feels no different.
Tomorrow he is watching football at a mates house late afternoon so can’t make plans for the whole day because we need to be back in time for that.
I just want a weekend to ourselves to be honest, always seems like he has to see absolutely everyone! Bloody annoys me to be honest.
More of a rant really, but had to let it out.

Is this a regular thing OP? If not I'd try and be a bit more understanding of how this looks from your DHs point of view...

He works away all week. Whilst that means not seeing you, it also means not seeing any of his family and friends, so he has to cram everything into the two days he has when he's actually at home. I don't think anyone would say it's unreasonable for him to want to make room in his life for seeing friends and family, so when else can he do this?

That said, I do understand how hard it is when he's been away all week and you look forward to seeing him/spending time with him, to find you're left alone again even when he is at home. DH was in the army for 6 years when we first got together and when he was living on camp and coming back at the weekends I often had to deal with this; you just learn to adjust to it.

I'd strongly recommend having your own interests/making your own plans at the weekend which don't involve him sometimes. If you always keep the time free just because you known he's going to be at home then it's bound to breed resentment whenever he chooses to spend time with anyone else.

I have to agree with rottiemum88 it sucks but he still needs to see his friends and family too. If he was seeing them both fri and sat evenings then I’d be pissed off but I can see why you’re upset.

Book a few outings for yourself next weekend and don't be too available should he want to spend time with you. I don't blame you feeling annoyed about playing second fiddle to grown men playing on Xbox.
