I'm fed up of being the support system for dp's life. I feel like staff. He has just retired from 30 yrs in the police, he went immediately to Japan for a martial arts course for 10 days. I went to Ireland to see my family so that wasn't too bad.
But then there was Christmas which is just a huge amount of work for me(I did all the shopping presents, food ect). And his mum was here, and she is a major pain, at least I put my foot down and she stayed in the hotel.
Then his dd(7) came to stay, she is very nice but doesn't speak any english and he had to work( he is an osteopath) so I was with the girls by myself quite a bit, which was hard work, particularly as I had work to do.
Now he is doing a masters course for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, leaving the house at 6.30 and returning at 7.30.
And then on Tuesday he is going to Japan for another 10 days and when he comes back he has another three days at the masters course. After that I have to go away for work (but only if I can sort out childcare myself)
He has just one weekend free up until the end of march every one is booked up with courses.
No I know he is not down the bookies gambling or going out raving but I feel like a complete and utter apendage and I resent that he doesn't want to clear any time to spend with me whatsoever. And if I raise it with him he just says I told him to do the masters(I do think it is a good idea) and told him to go to Japan(I diddn't realise it was so close to the previous trip) and that I am nagging him.
He is just soo bloody selfish. And I know that all my friends and family think he is taking the piss which is embarassing.
