[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - before this schedule he was WFH all the time, or just during COVID?

If/when was going into the office everyday, did he still ignore you in the evening?

I have been WFH a few days a week before COVID, WFH during COVID,  and back to a few days a week now.  My H has always gone into an office (only WFH for a few weeks in the early part of COVID) until he unexpectedly retired early.

It’s hard to tell if your husband is a jerk who doesn’t want to see you at all, or if you’re not respecting his boundaries and need for a mental and temporal workspace, and as a result he doesn’t want to hang out with you in the evening.

He bugs me regularly when I WHF - wanders into my office w/o knocking, claims he’s not bugging me, watches TV right outside my office (we have other places he can watch TV), asks if I need food or want to take a walk or whatever.   It has meant I am more likely to NOT want to spend the evening watching TV or something with him because he’s been around all day.

Your H has made it clear he doesn’t want to be bothered when he’s in his work zone.  I know it’s sounds harsh, but you need to respect that.  THEN if he continues to be a jerk in non-work hours, you need to decide if you want to put up with that, and if not, ultimatum or divorce. [/quote]

Before covid, we had zero issues. He went into the office 5 days a week. He never worked from home after work. There is also the issue that our toddler bothers him naturally, and he gets upset. I try to stop him, but [b]I can't chase the kid around all day[/b] or stay upstairs. A lot of times, he will talk to his dad behind the door.

Isnt that kind of the point of a sahm of a toddler??[/quote]

No, not at home if you’re doing it right. Toddlers aren’t robots.[/quote]
