Annoyed about this - am I unreasonable?

Dh has worked from home (as usual) since the start of this and I’ve had the two dc all the time. I’ve not actually had any time away from them in 8 weeks. After work dh goes for a run or a walk on his own.
Now the golf course has reopened. He’s playing twice over the weekend. I’ve asked if I can meet a friend for a socially distant walk and leave the children here and apparently I can’t because I have ‘all the time’ in the week. I’ve pointed out the children are not supposed to come with me and I just want some adult conversation without being asked for something every two minutes but apparently the weekend is ‘family time’ unless it’s for golf. It’s really annoyed me. Basically if he can now golf at the weekend his life is back to normal as that’s a normal week for him. Working from home, golf all day on a Saturday.
Whereas I’ve not seen anyone for weeks and weeks apart from my children and him and not even him all that much.
I only wanted an hour. He’s gone off on one about it.

Don’t let him lie in at weekend. Burst in with the “family” every single week. Remind him it’s family time and you all need to make the most of it. Dump the kids on him for an hour mid week when he’s working and go for that walk. Tell him it’s not up for discussion. And walk to a solicitor’s office or women’s aid and set the wheels in motion for a future where you don’t get told what you can do. Get your children somewhere they grow up not thinking this is normal.

Get up early on Saturday. Open all the bedroom windows.
Put the children in the bed.
Shout see you later. And leave the house.

If you just go for the walk, what will he do?

Just read on your other thread that he won't let you Facetime your friends.
This is awful, Gator.
