My husband always puts me first and he helps me on weekend taking the pressure off of me so I can get out some but I love for us to be alone too. am I being selfish wanting to do a few fun things alone with my
You are fortunate (as you know) that your husband stands up for you. Discuss these options with him and see what he thinks. Others on the forum will likely add their own ideas so please keep checking back.

I'm glad to hear that your husband pitches in on the weekends. It's his mom after all.
I imagine that I would feel resentment as well. We all need space at times and being deprived of that would make most people feel resentful. The suggestion of an adult daycare is a good one, definitely something to look into.
