Husband issue

I am so frustrated, my husband is so good to me “on paper” and also does silly things like bring me a cup of tea today without me asking. But three weeks ago we had a huge argument and I told him I was really upset at how much I was prioritising seeing his parents every weekend and I never had any time at the weekend to hang out with my mum or have her over for a cup of tea (his point was my mum minds our little boy one day a week so sees him then, but not ME) in the end he apologised, said he didn’t know how much it was upsetting me etc etc BUT Last weekend was my little boys birthday, we had a family party Sunday and invited both sets of grandparents, on Saturday my mum text and said she was nearby walking the dog and had some balloons in the car could she drop them in for him, I said of course but we are heading out for lunch soon, they were in the house for less than 10min and my husband sulked all day that it was supposed to be “just us” and his parents hadn’t been invited on the birthday day. THEN today, knowing we had no plans all weekend because it’s always up to me to make plans and his parents are on holiday…. I said “I’ve text mum and asked her to come for a cup of tea and see his new toys at some point today or tomorrow for an hour, anytime particular suit or not suit for uou” and he’s not shut up about it all day that I “blindsided” him and should’ve spoken to him in advance and generally making me so uncomfortable inviting anyone over ! Just a rant I guess. Am I unreasonable/going crazy? Any advice welcome!

Why is it okay for him to have his parents over but you can’t have your mum over? Very weird behaviour?

I was in a similar boat so I completely understand your frustration, I moved for his job to his hometown and lived with them for a while, I hadn’t spent a holiday with my family in 4 years and it really felt isolating and I feel like he would always been in a bad mood when we would go see my family or hang with them. Eventually I just told him it’s important to me and I’m gonna keep a relationship with them just as much as they do with me, his family doesn’t text me to plan things and so it’s up to him to keep that contact just as it’s up to me with my mine.

Why is he being so childish? It’s not like your mum is always in your space. If he wants designated time for just the three of you he should schedule that. It sounds like he’s being quite unreasonable

He's being a dick head, I'd be fuming!

Definitely a problem with your husband not you. He definitely has some issues to overcome. Don’t let it bother you. Maybe find ways to work through his frustrations but he sounds insecure. Insecurities are something an individual has to overcome. No one can do it for him. You do you. Do what you enjoy. If he never changes then you either have to put up with it or find someone new
