My partner wants to go travelling I have concerns am I being unreasonable.

Hi Mum's net, my partner ( of 18years) wants to go off travelling around South America with one of his guy friends. He wants to go for a month and leave me holding the fort with my 2 teenage kids and I work full time. I think he is being selfish . Our relationship has not been an easy one he has cheated on me in the past . One of these times was when he last travelled abroad. Which is one of the reasons I don't want him to go. I don't mind a long weekend but I think what he is doing is ridiculous. He says he is going anyway whether I like it or not. Am I being unreasonable.

"Bye bye, mister."
OP, he's already gone. Only the shell is left. Let it go on holiday and don't have it back.

Good riddance then?

Doesn't sound like you get much out of the relationship, and he is taking the piss.

Tell him to enjoy his trip and not to bother coming back home.

^THIS!

Sounds like he is going anyway

Well she's let him off for having more than one affair so why would he think she'll do anything over this? If OP habitually lets him treat her with utter contempt he will continue to do so. Don't be a doormat and then get upset when people wipe their shitty shoes on you.

That wasn't meant to sound quite so harsh OP. I'm just trying to encourage you to demand much more for yourself and he is never going to give you that.

God, you deserve much more than this from a partner, second time he's wanting to go off and find himself, or rather find OW.

Fuck that OP, get rid; he's not trustworthy and has no commitment to you, don't hang about for next hurt episode.
