[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH doesn’t get home until after 9PM or so. Yes, he has a long commute, which says this isn’t his choice.

But when he had a shorter commute, he worked late and always had to stop for gas, etc.  I learned a few years ago to stop waiting for him for dinners and such and started doing my own thing (which, you know, is just coming home and making dinner, because I’m married; once in a while meeting up with girlfriends, but they have their own husbands to go home to now!).

If I didn’t have a reason to think differently, I would be less paranoid, but DH’s father was a workaholic until he died. I’m not sure I’m really asking anything, just venting.[/quote]
My DH is the same exact way.  He could come home earlier if he left for work earlier but he's not a morning person (I wasn't either, but it turns out someone has to get up so the kids get to school!) so he sleeps in, then gets to work late (after long commute) then gets home late.  The thing is, when he is home I find him kind of irritating because he interferes with our routine.  I'm not sure if he's irritating because he's rarely there (so never got integrated into the routine in the first place) or my irritation is the reason he's not there.  At any rate at this point, I'm fine with it and in return he's more interested in taking the kids places on the weekends and doing things with them then that I'd rather not.  I guess it's a balance.
