Had an argument with my partner tonight, he is going away with his friends this weekend and had originally told me he was going Saturday, staying overnight, coming home Sunday. He’s now said he “forgot” that they’re actually not coming home til Monday. We have a 3 month old daughter and I told him I was upset that I was going to be on my own all weekend and that we weren’t going to be able to spend the bank holiday together. It turned into an argument where he is annoyed with me for some reason, for being upset that he is going.
I don’t begrudge him spending time with his friends but I‘m just upset and feeling lonely at the prospect of being alone essentially Saturday - Monday. My partner has had a few days away with friends/nights out since our daughter was born, and I just feel that I spend a lot of my time alone while he’s at work or with his friends. Even on weeknights when he’s home from work, he’ll be out for a run or a bike ride with his friends, or going for beers or to watch the football, there’s always something going on; I feel we don’t spend that much time together.
I’m not trying to control him and make him stay at home all the time. He has a very active social life and that’s fine. I’m much more introverted and especially since having DD I really just want to spend time with her and my partner, and our families. I just feel really down and upset about another weekend alone.
AIBU to be upset?
