I’ve been seeing someone for the last 4-5 months, it became an official relationship about 2 months ago.
We only live about 40 minutes away from each other and we see each other about 2-3 days out of the week at the moment.
She (I’m in a same-sex relationship) has a week off starting tomorrow and she’s basically meant to be staying the entire week so we can spend some quality time together, go out and do some Christmas bits, etc.
Now for the AIBU… it’s been quite a long week for me this week. I spent 2 days travelling for an event, and because I have several chronic illnesses, I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus and so so exhausted no matter how much I sleep. I’m a single parent to one DD who has autism, she has been home most of the week because of the event we went to and school inset days, and it’s been quite full on. I feel quite overwhelmed, suffocated and like I haven’t had 5 minutes to myself this week and it’s starting to burn me out a bit.
I really need a couple of days to myself to re-charge, especially because I do feel under pressure when she’s here to be sociable etc, our normal routine tends to go out the window which I struggle with and I just think it’s going to push me over the edge having her here all week.
How do I go about it in the nicest way? I feel bad because I know she’s been really looking forward to being here all week.
Thanks in advance! X
Edited to add - she has been here for the last couple of days too, so I have spent time with her this week
