Am I overreacting

Me and my partner have been together 13 years we are still not married yet as he says he can’t be bothered we have three kids together and some weekends it’s usually just me and him child free so I say to him do you want to go out get a few drinks play pool or something just to go out and do something couples do as we never do anything together anymore but he says he doesn’t want to and only will come out with me if our kids will be there so of course we don’t go and I just sit reading my books and he plays his games or watches tv his friends asked him out this weekend and he jumped at the chance to go out which I’m completely fine with but I’m a bit jealous as I wanted to go out with him and he didn’t want to but now he’s excited to go out and escape I don’t have any friends I only have my partner so I usually end up going out myself I think I could be lonely or am I just overreacting.

It’s not weird to want to go out and do something with your partner. That’s the whole point of having a companion no? Where is the quality time?

You make plans eff him. Go out have fun

Ultimatum.... yall two go out or he stays Home. I truly would've left. As it's Obvious..... Babes He's toxic

Why does he only want to go out with you if the kids are there too?

We do spend once a week watching a film together in bed we are in our early 30s by the way but that’s about it yeah I usually make plans with myself whenever I ask him if he fancies going out together he just says are the kids coming I say no it’s just us he goes nah when we go out we should go with the kids he has said he prefers going out with our kids and me coming along as it’s more fun

I'd say these are separate issues tbh. a) marriage b) not spending quality time together On the marriage thing, I get it from his side honestly if you've been together so long I'm not sure what it would change day to day. From the legal perspective though there's a huge difference between the rights of a married couple vs. not when it comes to next of kin decisions, inheritance, etc. Have you spoken about it recently? It doesn't seem to be a dealbreaker for you as you've been together for 13 years and had kids together. If has become a dealbreaker then you need to communicate that clearly. On the quality time he should be wanting to spend time with you so that's awkward! Definitely talk to him and tell him how it's making you feel. If he's a good partner he won't want you feeling this way.
