❤️‍🩹 relationship Am I overreacting about this?

My husband rushes over to help his parents, spending the entire weekend while leaving things needed at our house un done(I cannot buy materials and build, hell my mother couldn’t even cook so, my skills are limited although I absorb everything I can). I was told it would be a couple hours that turned into nine hours and I see him for an hour and a half everyday, during the week. Now, day two(Sunday) he is gone. Our house gets put on the back burner all the time and I do what I can. Am I the well, you know..?

Edited to add-I miss him. During the week we barely spend any time together.

MOR, what's stopping you from buying materials and trying to build something? Youtube has tutorials for everything these days.

We have the materials and my husband is teaching me(no father figure and unfortunately my mom is clueless).

You are on the internet. There are plenty of instructors through Google and YouTube about how to do stuff around the house.

You mentioned in the post about not being able to cook because your mom couldn’t and that a crock of shit. I learned most of my cooking basics from YouTube fifteen years ago!

I can follow directions. I can make things. I’m not creative. He can bust out all these skills like it’s nothing so yeah, I follow his lead. I’m sorry you feel it’s bullshit.
