My partner gets mad that I don’t attend every single one of his family events

Today his parents called him and asked if we were both coming over to meet his distant aunt. When he got off the phone he asked if I wanted to go and I said no, which he didn’t like.

I told him:

“It’s not that I don’t want to meet her, but it’s a family thing so you should enjoy that time with them. Plus. They want you to stay for more than an hour and I planned on getting new work clothes and cleaning the house today.”

He said “Okay so you just don’t want to meet her. I get it, but I’m going.” And I responded “I never said that but ok I’m glad you’re going. I don’t know why you’re so mad about my choice.”

Like why does he need me at every family event? We have been together almost 7 years and I’m sorry that I don’t always tag along.

My goodness I have my own responsibilities. And to me honest me and his parents don’t hate each other we never argue or fight or anything like that and never have but we also don’t click.

I’m tired of just scrolling on my phone waiting for you to finish up talking to your family for 3 hours.
