To think if he gets every Saturday to himself I should get one Sunday a month?

Dh plays golf every Saturday. Every single Saturday.
I work four days a week but on my day off - between dropping the kids to school it amounts to 4 hours - I tend to do housework and anyway my friends are at work so I can’t meet them and do anything.
I want a Sunday to go into the city centre and shop and have lunch with a friend. Dh says no. Family time. Where is my time off? Where is my free time?
Two nights a week golf and a full day on a Saturday. Leaves in the morning and not back until late afternoon.

I hope you are having a day out today OP but I suspect you're not.

If you can't make a change for yourself please consider doing it for your children or if you have a son he'll grow up thinking this is how he should treat women (and a daughter would think it was normal too).

Really really hope you are out or on the way

You cannot accept this for the rest of your life, so have to make a stand sooner or later. Today is hopefully that day

Ffs. Separate and you can have 2 weekends a month. Selfish fucker

Mumberjack · 06/06/2021 16:28

I hope the OP is out for the day having fun with her friends.

SwimBaby · 06/06/2021 17:29

Me too.

Dwrcegin · 06/06/2021 20:04

How'd it go OP? Hope you did go out.

RantyAnty · 06/06/2021 23:45

OP how'd your weekend go? I hope you were able to go out.

Quaggars · 07/06/2021 00:09

Yes, just thought I'd check in on this thread as was thinking about OP, hope you managed to get out for a bit @Dancingbinbags Flowers

CatsPyjama · 07/06/2021 08:46

I hope you got out OP. However I imagine what actually happened was that he sulked or gave you the silent treatment and looked after the kids so badly (on purpose) you felt like you can never go out again.

mynameisbrian · 07/06/2021 10:19

I think the OP wouldnt have gone, her husband had already made her uncomfortable and anxious, going on about family time, he sulked and then started being specific about the timings of when she was allowed to go out. I would hope now that she can see the situation for what it is and will build strength to make changes in this one sided relationship.

Cocogreen · 08/06/2021 12:04

I'm feeling OP didn't go out because her shithead husband carried on so much.
What I'm hoping is that OP realises her husband is a dick and she'd be much happier without him bringing her down and being so selfish.
Love to you OP.

A round of golf takes 4 hours, why can't he play 8-12? Then you can have the afternoon

billy1966 · 08/06/2021 20:31

I doubt the OP went out, poor woman.

Hopefully this thread, upon reflection will give her pause for thought going forward.

Such an awful situation she and her children are in.
