Who's being U?

For as long as I can remember I've done my exercise activity on a certain day of the week ( also other days but always this one day )

DH started to do an activity that can only be done on this day ( my day ) so I had to stop my activity so he could do his as we have kids and someone has to be at home.

His reasoning that he can only do his one day a week where mine can be changed ( not the exact same activity but similar on a different day )

Anyway, he stopped his activity for ages so I resumed mine.

Now he's saying he's starting it again and once again, I have to alter my day so he can do his.

Who's being U?

I think he is, I've been doing my activity for a long time and have previously stopped to accommodate him.

He's saying I am, as I can do mine on alternate days.

Happy to see what the general consensus is.

U are as u can change yrs.

So can he - with a basic conversation with his friends, whereas OP can't get the instructor to run a session on another day.

He is being very unreasonable.

I wouldn’t have changed in the first place if I were you.

You're a partnership! So you work around each other. If he can only do his activity on one day and you can do hours any day, surely you work around each other. You're aiming for harmony !

Apologies if I misunderstood.

OP already did this. Then he stopped his activity for ages. As soon as OP said she was starting hers again, he decided to take his back up.

When you say he hasn’t done football for ages though, do you mean it was out of season?

blackbeardsballsack · 17/04/2023 06:54

Surely he can do a similar activity any other day of the week. Playing football isn't limited to meeting up with Colin and Dave for a kick about on Monday evenings only. He could join one of the countless 5 a side teams which run all through the week.

Anyway, you had the slot booked first. I can't believe you dropped it for him in the first place!

Don't stop yours, if he complains tell him to find a baby sitter

You are

For stopping yours for his in the first place!!!

Comment perfection.

MisschiefMaker · 17/04/2023 09:27

Sorry I'm with him on this. You can do something on a different day. His football with his friends can't. Marriages are easier when you are nice to each other, just do the nice thing and swap and tell him owes you breakfast in bed (or some such minor thank you gesture).

If it’s an informal football training session can you agree to do alternate weeks? My DH plays football in a similar set up and it’s not a big deal in their set up if someone doesn’t attend every week.
