Is DHs work expecting too much?

[FluffingMarvellous]

Not sure if I'm being unreasonable, or DH's work is, or DH....

So he worked his standard 5 day week. Is due to stay away from home anyway next Mon-Tues. Yesterday, they announce with no notice they also want him working the whole of this weekend too - not optional.

He had commitments for this weekend; our DCs have an award ceremony that is important to them and DH is a key role in it. And it's also going to mean he's worked a 7 day week.

He hasn't challenged it at all, just said yes.

Who is being unreasonable here?

I think a counsellor is the logical next step

Some couples counciling is a good idea. Also maybe it's time that you make plans for you and your kids and not consider him. Assume he is at work so you don't have to stress and dissapoint the kids.

There's no point dragging your DH to counselling if he doesn't even see there's an issue in the first place. Individual counselling would be a good idea though.
