Should I tell her to fk off

Been with my partner (female) for a year and half and every second weekend she stays at her dads from the Saturday morning to Monday sometimes Tuesday night then come back to my flat.

I can go there anytime and probably stay if I want but don't as I can't relax plus they go to bed quite early and I don't, anyway.

When I say that I don't think it's any use this setup she says I'm controlling, I said fk off don't be stupid and that not many guys would put up with that.

Or would they

Maybe she's not staying at her dad's every night over those weekends...

Sounds like the dream situation for a lot of guys. Weekends free to do whatever you want and never get dragged round a garden centre or M&S...

Do you have every other weekend to go out with your mates?

What’s the problem?

But she also knows you won't.

Surely it depends how old your Mrs father is?If he is fairly elderly and she is keeping him company and doing things for him then it’s fairly understandable. If he is still young and healthy then it is slightly strange.
As mentioned you do get every second weekend to yourself which a lot of us would really enjoy.

If you make a point of doing really exciting 'me-time' stuff on your free weekends, she will soon be back.

I can't see a problem.

Why do you find it so difficult to accept?
You're clearly not worried she's seeing another bloke so what's wrong?
Either just accept it,or, if she's nothing special in your life, break up.

I think most blokes would jump at the chance of that situation provided they know the partner is staying faithful. Time to do your own thing is important IMO. Make the most of it, do the stuff that would get you moaned at normally whatever they are, strip an engine in the kitchen or whatever.

Is she ‘the one’ or just ‘the one just now’?

If she’s a keeper then as suggested above make the most of your free time. If you ever get round to having kid’s you’ll remember that time fondly.

If she’s not and it’s disturbing you that much then fire her off.

OP, I would love to have every other weekend free for my own stuff...

Let her stay with her dad if she wants. I don't see the problem with that.

She is definitely banging a work mate or summat.

Not surprised tbh.

Maybe he doesn't have any mates, and that's the issue, being alone every other weekend?

What's the context with the dad? Frail/elderly and alone needing help at home? Is she using the weekend to clean the house/batch cook him some meals etc? Is this something that has been happening since the start of the relationship or a more recent occurance?

How much time do you spend together during the week?

As has been mentioned above, every other weekend to yourself is definitely not the worst situation in the world!

To be honest you sound a bit clingy, no wonder she wants some time away. So yes, in my opinion, its probably you

Also why are you not inviting her Dad over to yours, why are you not offering to take her dad to a car show, the cricket, mountain biking.

IMO if she's close to family, you either need to indulge it, and jump in and change the relationship so you are a dominant part of it, or you need to break free.

And yes it's your problem. She's not going to yeild for a split brat, who wants everything his own way.
