Kinda bothers me a bit...

I was just thinking about some stuff. SO is going out of town in a couple weeks to stay at a friends house for their annual "gaming weekend." Basically, a bunch of dudes get together and play warhammer and other such games all weekend. I don't mind this, he's free to do whatever makes him happy, even if I am gonna miss having him in bed with me for that weekend. The problem I'm having here is that he had NO hesitation asking for that weekend off. Those are his big money days, so he never (maybe twice the whole year we've been together) takes the weekends off. I've asked him several times if he would think about asking for a weekend off so that we could go visit my family, and each time he tells me "it wouldn't be a good idea, because we need that money."
So I can't take you up to meet my family, or take my truck and go myself for a weekend, but you can take off to go play games? Don't we need that money, too? I get that it's something he's been doing for years, and I'd never try to stop him from doing so. It just bothers me a little bit. These are friends he hasn't seen for a year, and I haven't seen my family in a year either.

*sigh* Thanks for reading, I just had to get this off my chest.

This is what I call "Man Logic"... It doesn't make any sense whatsoever to a woman, and if you explain it to him, he finds himself perfectly justified! Have you tried bringing it up to him like you posed it here?

When he's gone go too. Go visit your family and let him go to his weekend thing. Whatever. Just really dumb

Warhammer ruined my marriage. My husband addicted then got me addicted.

I'm not "letting him go."

He's going, and I'm ok with that. Even if I wasn't ok with it, he'd still be going, because I don't dictate what he can and cannot do. I'd be PISSED if he did that to me.

I can't go then because we won't have the money to.

Huh?

Quoting Rd.:" Huh?"

So I'm not the only one, lol.

Need more words, more information, lol.
