Holding him back?

Hi everyone 👋🏼

So, I have two children from a previous relationship. I’ve been with my partner now for a year and a half and everything has been great. He’s took on my children as if they were his own, helps me out by watching them while I work etc. He has a daughter from a previous relationship and we have her regularly as well.

My partner is in a group chat with his friends, now we are young-ish lol, I’m 24 and he’s 22. His friend has messaged in the group chat about setting a day every week for them to go to the pub, out etc and my partner wrote back saying that would be brilliant if it was an unrealistic world, he said it wouldn’t happen because he needs to be here for the kids when I work, we are planning to do things with the kids and he works too so it’s making time for us as a couple as well. I just feel like I’m holding him back from going out and doing what he wants. He’s never made me feel as though he’s ‘trapped or stuck’, but I feel like as a young man he should be going out and why should he be stuck with having to be in the house with my children while I work and miss out on going out with his friends every week when he doesn’t have his child. Maybe it’s just me over thinking because he’s never made me feel like that, I just think too much 😭 don’t know what I want from this post I just need some reassurance I guess. X
