Holiday woes

My DH and I have 2 weeks off work. We came on holiday on Sunday. We are on a beach UK holiday. My DH never really wants to go away, he likes spending time with kids but argues that he can do that at home and loves where we live so doesn’t see the point. He never used to be like this and it’s crept up over the years.

So in his eyes it’s a compromise that we go away for 1 week and then have 1 week at home. Issue for me our DC have unfortunately been very unwell since getting here. So I have been stuck in our accommodation caring for a very clingy unhappy, poorly DS, DH has managed to get out a bit with DS1. I feel like we should extend our trip as we have the fortune to be staying somewhere we can just extend at no cost as family friends place with no other booking. He initially said he wants to go home on Sunday as that’s one week regardless. I’ve managed to get him to agree to Tuesday. He said he hopes I recognise and appreciate his compromise. I’m finding it hard not to resent him for this, we could stay for a whole 4 extra days, DC could recover in next 2 days and we could still enjoy a family holiday. AIBU? He makes me feel so unreasonable. I just wish he wanted to be here. It’s the same every summer now.

Depending on how close to home you are could you not go home now and go back the following week?

My ex dh was like this about holidays and it’s one of the reasons we split up.
