I want to start by saying THANK GOD we have a job (we went a long time without and it was massively scary) - I get how absolutely lucky we are. I get that my rant is really idiotic but I have to say it somewhere other than to him (he already feels guilty for the long hours he puts in).
I'm just spent. I have not been sleeping well, I'm uncomfortable and tired. I need him to come home and "take over" but instead, he has to sit in a room with his director and the other direct reports and measure d!cks and vie for "rank". It can't just be based on merit/effort/proven record/achievements/etc, its based also on a$$ kissing and of course it has to be at 6pm thru 9 pm on a Weds.
I like to wait for him to come home so we can eat together and I just can't tonight. I will likely be sleeping by the time he comes home - and by "sleeping" I mean tossing and turning while passing in and out of conciousness.
Re: DH's work is irritating
you are not alone my Dh leaves at 5:30am and doesn't get home until 7:30-8 most night it SUCKS! He is interviewing for another job next week. It will mean a big pay cut but at this point neither of us care about that! He puts in too many hours and we are both fed up with it. Hope you can catch a break soon!
I can relate to that. DH got a new job in August after not having one so he really needs to prove himself and it is hard. I want (and have to) support him, but sometimes it stinks.My job is important too but his always has to take the lead since I've sort of paid my dues.
My girlfriends and I were trying to plan a girls night and everyone (4 of the 5 work) was talking about which nights work and the one who stays a home said she couldn't leave until 5:30 when her husband got home-- I would kill to have my husband home by 5:30-- I mean, he would be alone since I hardly leave by 5:30 most nights but, he could help out a lot more.
