Need your opinion

Just need to vent a little. We recently moved to a new state where we don’t know anyone—no friends, no family—just us. My husband works six days a week, long hours, and I’m home with the kids all the time. I asked if he could come home early twice a week so I could have a little time for myself, and he agreed, but said that he is workingeveryday long hours so we can cover all expenses that we have. But today, he got invited to a game by someone he only knows from work a guy he said and when he declined, he used ‘I promised my wife to come home early today’ as the reason. It just got me thinking—if it were any other day, would he have gone? And why was there an extra ticket just for him and not for our family? I ASKED my husband so who is going he said that person and his son and another friend of this person... My husband didn't mention if he will be going to take our son... I don’t know if I’m overthinking this, but it just made me feel a little uneasy.

I wouldn’t necessarily get upset over this. He could’ve just had someone cancel on him and had a extra ticket. I totally understand needing some self care time. My husband works 7 on 7off but nightshift. So when he’s on his 7 on I don’t see him at all.

Yes but he usually say i take our son he didn't say anything like that so

I struggle with this kinda thing all the time. Yes I get mad when my husband wants to have some down time, normal fun time with his friends. Mainly because I'm burnt TF out and BEEN talking about some fun/me time myself. Been waiting! So I get hostile he has made plans before I even had a minute.... What has worked (BUT NOT ALWAYS) : I tell my husband" u work hard too; u should go- but- can I schedule something for me first, u watch the baby, let me get myself together, do my thing. Then go have a great time..mostly I'm mad because I feel ignored, or that his job is harder and more validated then mine. Let me get a min, let y get a min, then make it a FAMILY moment too! Balance is the HARDEST THING! Feelings r real, sometimes figuring out the why u got them is harder
