[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No kids, name does not start with L.

I’m not exactly sure when he goes into work because he goes to the gym in the mornings around 7:45/8, then heads to work.

One hour commute each way.  So I’m guessing he gets there around 10:30/11?

Well if he doesn't get into the office until 1030 than he's probably working until 730, no?
At that time, he shouldn't have as much traffic driving home.

Sometimes he’ll shoot me a text saying “wrapping up” at 7:30, but I don’t think he leaves right then because he doesn’t get home until 9/9:30 or so. But I don’t spend a lot of time responding and asking, because that means more time on the computer/phone and a later time to leave.

I don’t know, I feel like I’ve tried everything from giving him a hard time about it (this was three jobs ago), to just letting him do his own thing (now).  But this doens’t feel like a marriage to me. I know he’s driven and he definitely has gotten promotions that his co-workers haven’t gotten, but it’s not like he makes [b]that[/b] much more money to be working as late as he does.

I see couples doing things together after work and feel so envious of them. Hell, I was even jealous when I saw all the families trick or treating together after work. For the last three years, I’ve come home for Halloween and shut my lights off. I gave out Halloween candy once, but it felt sad doing it by myself and our street isn’t very popular for TOT’s anyway. Yes, I could go out and make more friends to do stuff with, but what was the point of getting married then?[/quote]
