I have been doing a hobby/course for the last six months which had me out of the house 7-10 two nights a week. It has now finished and I haven’t got anything else lined up. I’ve really enjoyed having this time to myself.

DH seems to think IABU because I’m looking to do something else two nights a week. He said he was finally going to get some time with me? I am at home the other five nights of the week.

He doesn’t really have any hobbies but I would equally have no issue with him having a hobby which takes him out of the house for a similar amount of time

Do you have kids living at home?

What does he do with you the other 5 nights a week to make these two nights so special?

Given you're home most of the time, this is very controlling.

Unless you not being there results in extra work for him?

It means he has to do those bedtimes for the children - but equally I wouldn’t begrudge him evenings out. We do try and split bedtime duty as 50/50 as possible anyway so we’ve been balancing it anyway imo.

I genuinely think he just doesn’t like being tied down to those days being non negotiable.

I am 100% going to try another hobby/class/group it’s just finding something!
