Am I overreacting?

Question

My SO and I have been together for almost 5 years. We have a 2 year old together. He works all week while I am a SAHM. Our biggest issue it that my SO does whatever he wants on the weekends. At least one day every single weekend he does whatever he wants with his friends whether it be fishing, hunting, etc (he’s outdoorsy). Our child and I are not included in whatever he does. He has done this ever since our child was born and I’m OVER IT. I never get a break! I’ve discussed this with him multiple times and nothing ever changes. He tries to blame me for not wanting him to do what he enjoys, that is NOT my intent, I just think EVERY weekend is excessive. He should be spending time with us as a family. I’m just hurt. I wish he would consider my feelings.... am I overreacting? 
I’m just so frustrated! I’ve already talked to him about this so any advice to help with a different approach would be appreciated!!

Answer

If he's working full-time, then he should get a day on the weekend to do what he wants, and then you should get the other day. If you would like your day to be a family thing vs. having time by yourself, make plans and let him know like a week ahead of time that you guys have plans.

Answer

He works full time and pays all the bills. The least you can let him do is have one day to himself with the guys so he can have fun. The other day he can spend with you and his son.

Answer

I disagree with all the comments saying he should het a day just because he works full time. Hello- we are all adults either working full time or parenting full time. We have adult responsibilities. I wouldn’t just ditch my kids and family on the weekends to go to the spa every Saturday even though that sounds glorious. Yes , we all need some time out alone with our friends. Just because we have a family doesn’t mean our social lives have to stop but if he’s going out every week and you don’t that’s not fair. He should want to spend weekends with his family and that would bother me also. An agreement needs to be made that it can’t be every week like that .

Answer

Maybe suggest him going out every other weekend with his friends and spending one of the days with his family and the other weekend you do what you want to do for a day. I understand he works a full time job but he needs to make time for his family and also give you a break to do what you want to. Hope you 2 can come to some sort of agreement, good luck!
