[quote=Anonymous]I'm a police officer's wife--though his hours aren't as long, they are the complete opposite of my work hours, including us not sharing a common day off of work.  I see him for ten minutes before I leave the house in the morning and two evenings a week when I get home from work.  Other than that, we're ships passing in the night.

It is lonely, and I'm an introvert.  We really make sure that our family time together is pretty protected--we reserve that time for each other.  Unfortunately, that means that we don't get to do "our own" things as often because someone always has to be home with the kids while the other one is at work.  I would love to take a weekly yoga class, for example, but when I weigh it against getting that few hours a week I get to spend with my husband, I choose to be home with him.

Your comments about feeling alone in life is what has me concerned that it might be depression and not just situational.  That doesn't seem normal to me.  I worry that you might be depending too much on your husband for your happiness.  Can you consider going back to therapy?[/quote]
