My partner has just slammed the phone down on me because I asked him not to come down next weekend. As I've said before he comes down every fortnight and it's this fortnight that the kids also go to their dads.
Anyway partner didn't come down this weekend as he had no money (doesn't stop him going on about wanting to buy a nintendo wii though) and he's not here next weekend as it isn't his weekend to come down (and he's at work) so he's due down again in 2 weeks time.
Anyway I was speaking to my aunt last night, I used to live with her and we've only recently started to see each other again, she said to me "next time (ex) has the kids why don't you come down to mine, we'll have a bottle of wine and a takaway and you can sleep over.." I thought it sounded like a great idea and so told DP that he might need to miss his next weekend too. He hit the roof and said he was being pushed aside...I explained that I only have the oportunity to go out once a fortnight when the kids go to their dads and I didnt think it was unreasonable to want some of these weekends to myself...he said "its not my fault you have the kids" etc...
So is it an unreasonable request to want some time to myself? ok so its going to be 4 weeks since we last saw each other but when he does come down we dont go out or do anything and he's always moangy...just one weekend while the kids are at their dads I'd like to do something other than have him here you know? am I being unreasonable?
