Lets say you and one of your partners have agreed that you will see each other on a couple of specified days each week. One of those days is a weekend day and the two of you regularly stay overnight. How would you handle it if your partner scheduled a date with your meta for the morning after you stayed overnight together? For instance, lets say that the two of you generally stay together until late morning or early afternoon and this is a pretty established routine but since his meta now has plans with him the options are: cut that time short and clear out earlier than expected, or share your date time with his meta. Would you expect that your partner would have a conversation with you about those plans before they make them since the plans impact the time you normally spend together?
I feel like the correct action would be to discuss it, because a change might not work for me due to my own schedule (or it might, thats why a conversation is needed), or maybe I just don't wanna see my meta first thing in the morning *and that should be ok*. Am I way out of line with this thinking? I like my meta and I don't have any issues seeing them at events and what not but I just feel like we agreed on this specific set of days and general times as our time and if something is going to affect that shouldn't I be involved in the conversation about what we do about it? There are times where rearranging things would be completely fine and there are times it wouldn't but I feel if the plans are made and we don't discuss then I get no voice in the matter. Thoughts?
I think in advance of the weekend, you can ask what his plans are. That way you know what to expect. For me, if I asked and he communicated that he had morning plans I would just let him know that I’d prefer not to have an overnight given his morning plans. I would much prefer to leave that night rather than feel rushed out first thing in the morning. If he’s upset that the overnight didn’t happen, maybe he will change his scheduling strategy going forward.
