[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Dh does this. The problem is that he never builds in reciprocal time for me to see my family, and if I push back against the burden it puts on me he plays the “but I have to see my father” card like yours is. Often DH tacks visits on to the beginning or end of work trips that require a Sunday flight overseas so he’ll miss an entire weekend of family time.

In my Dh’s mind, since many of these added-on visits are last-minute, they don’t really exist or have an impact.

It is a huge issue- he think it represents him being a good person but I can see that he’s being it as optics and it’s representative of how he consistently ducks obligations to our family.

I think you need to zoom out and look at whether this is representative of other patterns in your relationship and how Dh prioritizes your family, your time, and your labor. Only then can you really know if this is an issue.[/quote]

Agree. You’ll increasingly have to run the whole household as if he’s not there half the weekend or at any time. Sad. [/quote]
