[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has gone from being gone from 7am - 7pm every day, plus travel to working 100% from home with very rare travel. I've always worked from home, and had complete care of the kids, dinners, etc. he refuses to go back to the office and has gotten so comfortable working from home and it's ruining our marriage. This would not be so bad if he didn't try to control and manage everything that happens in the house. He's clearly not busy enough with his job and spends so much time during the day focusing on me, whats going on with the kids, whats for dinner, etc etc. I'm used to him being out of sight/out of mind until he gets home during the day, it's how our marriage has been for years pre covid.

I'm in my late 40's and we've been married 15 years. This is not what I signed up for. I've spoken with him about both of us needing space, but he's pretty adamant that it's too bad because he likes this arrangement. Ugh.. I feel like this is ruining our marriage because he doesn't care how miserable he's making the rest of the family. Looked into counseling but there's literally nobody good available.

UGH, how do I get him back into a routine that doesn't revolve around me and the kids! [/quote]

Wait a few months. Once all the stimmie and quantitative easing washes out of the economy, his work will demand he comes back in, and he'll have to start competing for his job. Your marriage will probably magically improve once he has to start actually working.[/quote]
