This seems extreme and pretty controlling behaviour.
Well to all honesty we don’t know the issue. OP didn’t come back to clarify.

Maybe the person is a coworker but a favor is to spend the entire weekend helping this person to relocate.

My husband and I have zero jealousy or trust issues, but something that extensive and time consuming would need to be discussed. It wouldn’t be ok to make a plan to be away the whole weekend and not discuss with me. So I think it depends what’s the favor?

The reason I brought this example is I actually helped a coworker to move (not too far just in the area), that was years ago and I was single and so was he. My daughter was at her dads for the weekend. I had no obligations to report anything to anyone. We were coworkers and became friends. If I was married then, I’d most certainly discuss such plans with my spouse.
