There's nothing wrong with you LT - you've now found someone you love and want to spend time with him - seems rational enough to me. It does seem unfair that he's being expected to work so many of them - are his colleagues in the same boat or is it just him that's got the raw deal?🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Not a lot of consolation, but I have 9 days off at the end of the month and most of them without OH too! Not sure if I am
or 
about this - time will tell (what I mean is, if the decorating goes wrong I won't be able to blame it on him!)
Secondly, I read and article yesterday that was really quite interesting - it was about how we all strive to be independant of the person we are in a relationship with, but actually being dependant on each other is much more rewarding and better for the relationship. So don't beat yourself up, you are not lame!!

I tried to be independent of my DH. I was totally dependent on him for years, even hated going shopping on my own so I went the other way. TOTALLY - didn't spend any time with him etc and it could have destroyed the relationship. Now I'm back to asking him to go with me, I now know I CAN do it on my own, but I don't really want to.Loan - [STRIKE]£6991.95[/STRIKE]£6180.01; Barclays Res - [STRIKE]£600[/STRIKE] £0 - £22 per week :eek:, NWB Grad O/D - [STRIKE]£1185[/STRIKE] £887.86 18.28% SWALEC - [STRIKE]£700[/STRIKE] £0 NPOWER [STRIKE]£220[/STRIKE] £0 Kays - [STRIKE]£591.28[/STRIKE] £0 TOTAL DEBT - [STRIKE]£10,288.23[/STRIKE] £7,000.01 31.96 % Paid off.

i used to think it was bizarre when friends didn't seem to be able to make a decision without getting approval from their OH. I don't go to that stage but do check what we have planned jointly before agreeing to most things.0
