This is weird behaviour, right?

[ChillWith]

On holiday and my partner wakes me and DC up to get up and go for breakfast. He rushes us to get ready and then leaves the table before we are finished. There is nothing to do where we are so he sits on the sun lounger with noise cancelling headphones and/or falls asleep. He doesn't have a stressful job, he has nothing to say and quite frankly I don't know what I am doing with him. Guess I've answered my own question there!

Erm OK.

Have you had a conversation with him about it?

That's sad. Have you suggested getting breakfast later? Why on earth does he leave without you?

That would do my nut in. Tell him you'll meet him down there!!

Although it sounds like you have bigger problems than this.

Yes it's wierd behaviour. Maybe he was rushing you both because he was hungry but he shouldn't be leaving the table before you've finished breakfast! Was he panicking about getting a sunlounger? Is he quite anxious generally?

So what's going on then OP? If this is the only weird thing in a sea of loveliness, forget it. If everything he does is as weird as this, then I can see you have a problem.

Leaving the table before you’re finished is really rude.

How old are DC? Does he help getting them ready for breakfast?

He probably had it in his mind beforehand that that was what he wanted to do for the day, and ran for the hills before talks of "so what shall we do today" started

Holidays are often a catalyst to realising you're in a relationship that's not working

Is there any times he is going off alone?

Basically you e realised he's a boring yes ?

What happens if you ask him to let you lie in?

This has been how it is for seven days so far. There is no race for sunloungers here. He doesn't get the whole no need to wake early on hols thing not heading off to do your own thing if you're hungry (he doesn't eat breakfast at home). Thanks all. You've helped enormously already!

You have put up with this for 7 days without saying anything? Why? It's your holiday too, you don't all have to obey your partner.

The words off and fuck are available OP :)

Not necessarily in that order.

Is he controlling or can't switch off from work or something else? What gives?

Flag it every day as unreasonable. It just gets boring arguing first thing every day. Hate it setting the tone for the rest of the day.

why can’t he get the kids up and take them to breakfast while you have a lie in ?

If there’s nothing to do, why can’t he okay with the kids after breakfast ? I assume he’s their father .

Who looks after the kids while he sleeps all day?

YABU for not dumping him at once.

Well he's done that by himself

I just came back from a holiday with girls. We each got up when we wanted, joined each other for breakfast and wondered off at various points regardless if someone's already finished. I don't think any one of us thought each other rude. We don't all need to keep the same schedule.
My partner sleeps in on holidays, I try not to disrupt my normal routine too much and prefer to be up and out relatively early or, at least, awake and reading a book while he sleeps. I also don't get on very well with people who take ages to get ready for something and more often than not I will walk off and meet them later elsewhere. I think it is quite normal and generally works well for everyone I have ever been on holidays with.
A separate issue is the fact that you don't seem to have much to talk about. But, presumably, this has nothing to do with a holiday.

Oh dear It doesn't sound like a fun filled holiday.
Is your relationship strained at home or just his holiday mode?

He is enjoying his holiday.

That is all that matters.

To him.

Whether or not you enjoy your holiday does not matter.

To him.

If things aren’t good on holiday then it is never going to be right back home with all the day to day stresses. Time to reevaluate things.

Why I asked if he sloped off was could he be pining for someone not there and is treating with contempt in retaliation..? A dc or ow perhaps?

Is it a free breakfast you have to eat before a certain time to get your 'value' in his mind?
