šŸ“ Partner (41M) doesnā€™t care about waking up me (32f) and baby (6 months)

So, my partner loves to go out for drinks.. when our baby was born he was out a week later. This is something that happens once a week.. I donā€™t like that he does this and wish he had a different/healthier hobby, but he likes what he likes so yeah. I canā€™t change him!

My parents went on holiday and we are looking after their little dog. She barks when people come in and out the house. I asked if he could please refrain from going out in the 10 days we have her as she will wake up me and the baby when he comes back late but I was met with anger and was told absolutely not and he was doing my parents a favour and why should he have to change his life and not do what he enjoys.. he says he needs to ā€˜let looseā€™.

I explained that it was to make sure me and our baby donā€™t get woken up but he didnā€™t care. I look after the baby on my own all day and really need to get as much rest as I can.

Also to add he had been out twice already this week to watch the football in the evening - so itā€™s not like he didnā€™t do anything that week.

Anyway. Of course he went out even though I begged him to stay. And of course - when he comes back at 1am the dog barks and wakes up me and the baby. We had a massive fight and Iā€™m so upset and feel so disrespected but he says Iā€™m in the wrong and Iā€™m too sensitive and controlling and Iā€™m unreasonable for even asking him.. am I these things?
