Weekend plans

It would be great to get an impartial view of this!

I'd arranged to swap weekends with my DD's Dad so that I could spend some time with my DP. We don't live together and we have opposite weekends with our DC so child free time is very rare.

The plan was for him to come over some point Sat morning. We were going for dinner and cinema in the evening. He turns up at 3pm as he'd been at a friends.

Fast forward to today. Plan was for him to be at mine until he goes to his friends at 4pm for football / pub pre drinking. It gets to 11 this morning and he says he thinks he's going to go the gym. He leaves at 12.

Am I just being a bit delicate or do I have the right to be a bit pissed off! I'm annoyed I went out my way to swap weekends for DD (her Dad never agrees to swap!).

DP doesn't see any issue with anything he's done so maybe it's me in the wrong!

I'd be pissed off too - cutting short not just one of the two days, but both.

He’s showing you his priorities. Seems you are doing all the heavy lifting but getting nothing in return. Would he swap weekends with the other parent of his children so that you could have “alone time”? It doesn’t sound like it. He’s not that interested.

In the longer term, could you do a complete swap with your ex? I mean for every future weekend rather than a one-off?
