Not deserving of a holiday aibu

I'm totally peeved off, me and DH both have full time professional jobs. He works away alot which means hotel stays and cooked meals every night, he tells me how it's no fun and I generally believe it must get quite boring.
But I WFH which means I'm left with all the day to day stuff, we have 2 dogs that need walking, 8 year old DS that needs taking and collecting from school/clubs, tea needs to be made, washing and cleaning, homework etc this aswell as a recent house move which I have pretty much sorted myself from solicitors, surveyors, mortgage brokers, insurance, change of gas, electricity and everything else! I'm absolutely exhausted and I'm desperate for a holiday I feel like I'm going mad. Told DH numerous time I need to get a real break, tonight he told me I don't really need a break and I only want a holiday because a family member has told us they are going abroad!! we went away last May and that wasnt that long ago and he cant understand why I need a holiday. I'm fuming im totally burnt out, sick to death of ground hog day, and thinking what's the bloody point!

I'd hate it if my husband tried to tell me how I was feeling!

You definitely need and deserve a break! I would be booking myself a weekend away, either on my own or with some mates.

I’d book somewhere and go on my own

cheeky fucker.

I work away a lot and yes it is boring but it also gets you out of a lot of domestic labour.

tell him you are going and he can either come With you or not.

Next time he’s home, or now if he’s home, either go away for the weekend alone or go out for days on your own.

If you can afford it, and have the Annual leave, then book something. Go away with a friend and leave the dogs, dc, and household stuff to him for a week.

This!

Let him have a week of daily relentless drudgery. And turn your phone off.

I get the feeling that because he's away alot he doesn't feel like he's desperate for a break/ change of scenery and the daily crap! I know he's not away on holiday but it's exhausting on the other side

I do and I have much more annual leave entitlement than DH. I would happily go alone not sure how DH would take it!
