How many hours does your husband work a week? Struggling over here.
I’m in a really weird patch of resentment toward my husband and his job. He works consistent 60-80 hours a week but is home for dinner and bedtime most evenings. He clocks back in after bedtime and often works until midnight.
He is an exceptional father to our two toddlers in so many ways, but leaves zero time for nurturing our marriage. I find myself so angry sometimes.
He makes great money and so we’ve put funds towards extra support - 15 hours/week of a sitter, cleaning crew twice a month. He encourages me to outsource more childcare / house work, but I don’t want to be that kind of rich household. I just want us to be a close, down to earth family.
But I still feel overwhelmed so much and very disconnected from him.
I’m wondering if this is a “me” issue and I just need to get some better perspective and more appreciation. Maybe I just need to toughen up.
Tell me about how much your husband works a week. How do you deal with frustration (if any) over him being gone?
