Nope, not OK! I'd be fuming if my partner was doing this every night, it's completely unacceptable! I wouldn't mind one night a week or so, but every night is a definite pisstake
I have just this year started to go to a Pilates class but it’s at 7.30 pm once my toddler is in bed and it’s once a week the first year I found so hard! The drinking doesn’t stop at the pub either he regularly drink a bottle of wine at home and sleeps on the sofa
Nope. Not okay at all, a pub? He's probably drinking as well. Id be mad.
Sounds like he's got a drinking problem
In no way is this okay. Like i can see maybe once a week and its something you guys talked about and agreed on but every day is excessive and not fair to you and y'alls child.
What time do you get off work?? You can make him do the pick up so that you get to have that evening free. Or just say you have to leave work later . It's not a behaviour you should let slide. Hope he listens.
that is extremely selfish!! why start a family if he barely spends any time with you. You may as well be a single parent. We all need a social life and time away/apart but not every single day and that being spent at the pub drinking. He needs to sort himself out, be a partner and a father and if he has a drink problem, he needs to get help!!! If not, sorry but you are better off without him!
No, not unless he’s giving you time to yourself and it’s balanced. I would speak to him and compromise. Explain how you’re feeling. Plus drinking a lot can cause him tons of health issues and addiction. You should raise this with him and say you’re worried for his health, if he wants your relationship with you and a relationship with his child then he needs to step up. That you’d like to spend more time together and have some time to yourself as you are just as much entitled to as he does. Tell him simply you won’t keep living like this. What he is doing is selfish and he should be more caring of your needs and of your child’s needs. If he can’t quit drinking or realise that the best things are right in front of him, that are worth way more than drinking then he needs to go to therapy and get help with his drinking
Definitely not ok every night
Totally not ok. What free or social time do you get? I'm not sure how you could possibly have any! Your partner should want to spend time with his family and needs to contribute to the running of the household.
