DH and I have had little time together without the kids throughout our relationship (he had a child when we got together). In part because we’ve not had much help with childcare but admittedly also because I wanted it this way (I thought he did too).
Tonight we find ourselves child free, step child not with us this weekend and our shared dc are having a sleepover at grandparents for the second time in 8 years. It’s freezing so we don’t want a big night out but I thought perhaps we could go to the pub or something. I went to get changed and DH has slagged off every one of my outfits until I ended up back in the jeans and basic jumper I’ve had on all day. That’s when I threw a strop and said I didn’t want to go out. It feels like a wasted opportunity but I also now feel bad and don’t want to go out because I think I must look dreadful, am I being unreasonable.
