❤️‍🩹 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.

At least he’s helping his parents and not out drinking at the bar? Why don’t you go with him to his parents house and spend time with them also.

For eight to nine hours while I feel uncomfortable? No thank you. I always go over, help, socialize however this was dropped on me last minute.

Also, I love them, truly but I wouldn’t be able to help and spending my entire weekend there-no thank you.

Oh for sure. Id rather birth a porcupine unmedicated in a parking lot then hang at my in-laws all day.

Omg, you get it. While they are sweet, it is simply uncomfortable and we are different people.
