To ask partner to not have a drink on a Sunday?

Just that really, my partner and I enjoy a drink, it’s pretty much kept to weekends and not really in the week, but I tend to have a drink Friday and/or Saturday if I have a drink and not on a Sunday, but it’s as if he’s not capable of having a booze free Sunday.

it’s only 4/5 drinks, he’s never nasty etc. with it, but it’s getting me down that he can’t go a Sunday without a beer.

we’re early 40s, no children, been together 11 years, but I’m starting to resent him and it’s pissing my off to be quiet honest.

I'm not sure I see the issue here, it's fine for you to choose to drink Fri & Sat but not for him to choose to drink on Sun? Is that because you don't think he should be allowed to drink on a day you're not drinking or is the issue that he's drinking too much / not looking after himself / behaving badly when drinking? It's normal to find drunk people annoying if you yourself are sober. Is that the problem?

I can think of a few reasons to be annoyed...

  • driving
  • money (but that's total over a week rather than specific days)
  • his behaviour after drinking (again thats not day dependent)

No one can say whether you have valid reasons if you don't say why it bothers you.
