AIBU husband signing up for London marathon.

[Christmaspanic24]

He just informed me tonight and I'm really annoyed. We have 3 small children, both work busy jobs and we have been doing an all consuming house renovation. I literally feel like we never have a moment to spare and that we barely manage to stay on top of life. He isn't a runner. He might run once a month at that. We have no family nearby, no extra childcare or support. When he talked about the London marathon a few weeks ago, I told him I didn't think it was a good idea at this point in our lives because of how hard he would have to train and that would mean more time away from us as a family. He already works long hours, so that leaves me on my own with 3 kids. Then he just informs me he's signed up and he thought I'd be more supportive. So angry. We were supposed to be decorating the Christmas tree and now we've had a row.

Am I being unreasonable to be pissed off about this?

Wow, well I’m glad my husband was supportive of me when I’ve ran marathons. Give and take and all that. Yes it does take a lot of time, but it’s finite, there is an end date.

What's he giving?

So weird that so many people can’t handle someone wanting to try and achieve something a people saying things like husbands can only have a hobby if the wife has one too for fairness - fucking hell?

Surely it was a joint decision to have 3 kids? So using them as an excuse for him to not be allowed do something is unfair

It was a JOINT decision to have children. So how come he gets to opt out of anything to do with their care and leave it all to the OP? If you're going to put forward the 'joint decision' argument, at least follow it through, don't stop when you've got the point you wanted to make and ignore the other implications of that statement you made.
