Am I the asshole?

My partner lost his father over 8 years ago and we live 3 hours from his home town. My partner out of the blue wants to visit his home town on his father’s anniversary for almost 4 days. Which I have no problem with but I’m annoyed is gotta take time off work for the week, he doesn’t get leave. Near Christmas, plus our two kids under two who are both sick with the flu plus how long he is going away for. And think what annoys me even more is that he doesn’t message or check in on us or the kids. His messaged us once and that’s it saying he got there, didn’t call for their bed time or anything… So am I the asshole to just ignore him or is that just giving him what he wants?

My partner also doesn’t check in on us or ring us, just texts when I need him but I’m personally fine with that and also he’s never been away when the kids have been poorly. I’d say he does obviously have the right to do this but he’s picked a very awkward time to go. You have every right to be annoyed but I’d probably just leave it personally as it could seem controlling. You could explain to him about the not checking in part though, especially with the kids being poorly as he should want to know if they’re okay x

@Ebony Rose it’s so hard when I explain over and over and it’s more like his social life over checking the kids

Well just an update. Our 10 month daughter got worse overnight Called him saying I might be taking her to the hospital and think you might need to head back.. Just made up excuses that he can’t drive at night and said he would call me back but never did Next morning and his opened a Snapchat but still not replying

Yeah that’s really really bad! His priorities are clearly elsewhere and he’s not giving two shits about your daughter. I’d be ignoring him now

@Ebony Rose I get his taking time for his dad but at the same time if his daughter is sick, she should be his number one priority. The fact it took 6 calls to just get onto him and his like if she’s in a really bad position I’ll come back. But only if the doctors say

Then will come back and make me the bad guy

You’re not the arsehole! As sad as it is that his dad passed (8 years ago) he should cherish the people that are around! I couldn’t imagine leaving my kids for 4 days & not calling/texting many times a day to check in on them! Xxx
