Who is wrong?

Been together 2.5 yrs... both with children from previous marriage.

Since beginning he stopped me going to see my son play football when it was our weekends without the children as said it was our time.

This weekend he now wants to referee his sons game, even though it's our weekend togetger and our marriage needs work.

I think this is double standards and hypocritical and very unfair.

You are right. Double standards.

What does he say when you point out the obvious hypocrisy?

He was wrong to suggest you didn’t go and see your child’s games. You were wrong to accept that. I would always put my children first.

No one would stop me spending time with my child. If you bow to his demands it will get worse.

You stayed with a man who wouldn't let you see your own children play football, because it was his time?

Are you crazy?

You let this man dictate wether you see your child play football and you’re concerned about double standards. WTAF! You need to have a word with yourself because his ‘double standards’ are the least of your problems, the greater being, your lack of backbone.

I suspect this isn’t the only instance of you letting him ‘have his way’ in the last 2.5 years.

You both are. You’ve missed out on almost a rite of passage really for parents. For a man who has been in your life in the blink of an eye.

You’ve put him above your own kids and they’ll remember that when they are older. Yes he’s hypocritical, but it also sounds like he’s wise enough not to put you above the kids. Despite asking the same of you.
