To be annoyed by DP going out for no reason

Hi,

I can’t work out whether I am being unreasonable or not. My DP is great most of the time but they have days where they come home from work or seeing people etc and they are in such a strange mood. They seem to not be able to relax - they keep doing stuff and then they struggle to sleep. They will often, but not always have a reason to have to go for a drive which can be short like 15 mins or long like over an hour. It could be because they have stuff on their mind or they want to get a non alcoholic beer (they stopped drinking in January) or last night because their eye hurt. Then if they can’t sleep they may drive at midnight or later.

This really annoys me - I don’t mind so much when it’s just once a week but we’re going through a period at the moment where it’s basically every other night and they are going out twice a night. I spend the night stressing about when they are going to say they have to go out.

I can’t work out if I should just accept this is who they are or if I have a reason to be annoyed. They don’t see any issue with it. Personally I think this is weird behaviour and I don’t like it. I don’t have any reason to think they are doing anything dodgy.

Have they always been like this or is it a recent change?

Why the deliberate effort to hide gender?

To irritate people is my guess. This is an old thread anyway that's been dug up.

Drugs and stuff didn't occur to me at all.
I just thought she wasn't coping living with someone 24/7. How long have you lived together?
