Been in relationship just over a year and up until recently have been happy. Both have separate homes and kids approx 25mins away from each other- mine live with me full time but are old enough to be left for a few hours if I go out (16&13)
I see DP a couple of nights a week when he comes after he’s seen his kids, I have food ready for him so by time I’ve finished clearing up, it’s quite late we watch some tv and then we go to bed. Up early the next day and Both go off to work.
Last few weekends, DP has made his own plans to go out on his own. 1st weekend, we had plans(1st anniversary) which he cancelled to go elsewhere. Last weekend, we were all supposed to be going somewhere and I couldn’t leave DC so I said I couldn’t go. DP said he was still going and left me to it despite him knowing why I couldn’t leave DC (issues with exh). This weekend, I thought we could spend some quality time together as both my kids are out, he doesn’t have his kids this weekend and he’s pleased himself for last 2 weekends. DP tells me last night that he’s going out with his mates today....
I told him I was upset and how I felt and he turned it round to say I was telling him he couldn’t go. That is absolutely not the case but I just wanted him to want to spend some time with me... DP will have his kids next weekend so next weekend is already taken up.
I feel really fed up, I feel our priorities are different and starting to think I would be better on my own. AIBU to think he should want to spend some ‘quality’ time with me and maybe prioritise me once in a while?
Sorry for the ramble.... x

Oh dear. So first he pretends nothing is wrong (the text as if nothing happened), and then da-da, he turns up & cooks. And you carry on.

Well, see you in a few weeks.

am making my own plans with my pals to do things so he gets to carry on doing his own thing and popping to yours in the week for his regular food and a shag. I bet he is laughing his socks off.

If you want to allow him to use you then crack on. Amazing how he cooks once and you are willing to give him free rein to stay over and use your place like a hotel. I mean this kindly, op, but you are a mug.

I hope that was a tasty meal he cooked. You just threw away your last shred of self respect for it.
