My bf and I live together and got a dog in June. I love the dog and it was a mutual decision. I have to go abroad for work, but because it’s far and my parents live in the same country I decided I’d go the weekend before my meetings to see my parents (especially because my employer is paying!). BF is sulking that I’m going early and he has to watch the dog. We have a dog sitter who will watch the dog on all the working days I’m away. The day I get back BF is going abroad to see his own friends and I will be with the dog - no issues there. So how is this any different? He has the dog the weekend before and I have him the weekend after. Today he had a go at me calling me a chronic liar because I apparently didn’t tell him I’m going early. I did tell him and he in fact told me to stay as long as I want but now claims he didn’t mean it bc it was said in an argument. He called me a psychopath. This whole week he’s been ill and moaning I don’t take care of him or ask him if he wants a cup of tea. I’ve been working from home and been exclusively walking and feeding the dog, tidying, and doing groceries. Since we got the dog I walk the dog every morning without fail and every evening before going to work and after coming back. He just gets up in the morning, scrolls Instagram, spends 30 mins on the toilet and goes to work. I also get my daughter ready and take her to school, take the dog and then bring him back and go to work. I organize all food deliveries for the dog, walk him on weekends too, do all vet appointments. I don’t mind this. But god forbid I go to see my parents.
I don’t understand why I have to face so much angst for going to see family. AIBU?
