Am I being unreasonable?

So my boyfriend gets his daughter every second weekend, his sister has recently split with her parter and also has kids! Lately I feel we never get to spend any quality time together as a 3 as they always have to be involved too every weekend, feel pushed out a little bit. Any advice?

Can't you just say 'I want to do things just as a couple on the child free weekends?'.

I mean if he's your partner, surely he wants that too.

He can meet his sister on the weekends he has his daughter and you can all do things as a group.

Assuming his daughter likes her cousins. Otherwise maybe she wants a weekend just her and her dad sometimes too.

Advice would be to have an actual conversation with your partner and decide what to do together.

If he isn't interested in your needs then my advice would be to leave him. And perhaps consider dating someone without children.

Have you spoken to your partner about how you are feeling?
