So me and dp have been going through a bit of a rocky patch since DC2 was born 4 months ago. I’ve been suggesting date nights regularly but we often don’t go as he says we don’t have the money/too tired/ baby might wake for the sitter.
I said this morning let’s have a date night in since we never make it out, rent a film and get a takeaway and wine and reconnect a bit he said yes ok let’s do that.
Fast forward to this afternoon his friends have asked him to come out as they’re going for some drinks and he’s jumped at the chance and said he’s now going there as he rarely goes out.
This is true, he’s only been out in the evening once she’s DS arrived but he does see them regularly during the day along with the kids etc.
I never thought I’d be that wife telling their partner he can’t go out but I’m hurt and I’ve told him I’m hurt and he’s not understanding why despite me explaining as above.
Would you be upset about this or just let it go as it’s rare he goes out?
His friends do go out regularly so it’s not like tonight’s his only opportunity, but they don’t invite him as much due to the baby.
