The core of the issue won't be addressed with that. He thinks that in a relationship, you shouldn't need that much time and space away from your partner to decompress from life, and not speak with or see them during that time. He is still going to think a weekend away every two months is too much, but he might not take issue with once a year, or decompressing together, or something along those lines.
And you do think it's necessary.
That's what I mean about inflexibility. You are willing to move it for events, but you aren't willing to change it, or include him, or find a way to decompress with him involved. So he's refusing to be flexible about it as well, and sees that if you two are going to plan a holiday, your other one is unnecessary, as a holiday, in its nature, is meant to be relaxing and for decompression.
It's an incompatibility. Neither of you is wrong to want what you want. But I think you're both going about this the wrong way, and it's leading to serious resentment and frustration, and unless one of you is mature enough to do the right thing and say “hey, this doesn't work for me, we should call it” then it's gonna end badly.
Thanks! Yeah, I'll be moving out asap. He can stay in the house and give me my part when sold. Right now I just want to be away from him
