It's 1am in the Lion City, I'm upset and I can't sleep. The reason for this is rather silly, but it's still affecting me in ways I can't really describe.
Hubby spent the whole of last weekend working. He works really long shifts so at the end of the day I don't really get to see him much. The few waking hours he has left is divided between me, dinner and his beloved computer.
Thus, I got really upset when he told me he was working the whole of this weekend too. Is this something I have to get used to?! He reasoned that it was difficult to get extra days to work with the current economic climate, so he was grabbing everything he could.
I've never had to deal with this. All along, our pact was that he avoid weekend overtime work since he already had to work one day of the weekend and he has been doing so for the last 5 years. As a result, I cherish that one day of the weekend that I get to see him and spend time with him. All the other off days he has are on weekdays and I have to work so...
Oh well, it's just nice that I have to work this weekend too. But my work only takes up 2-3 hours. It pains me to think that after I manage to get through a Saturday by myself, I have to wake up and do it all over again on Sunday. Thank goodness my parents and pets are always on hand to keep me company, when he doesn't. But I can't believe I have to do it two weeks in a row. :'(
I know I'm taking this too personally, but I just find it so depressing I only see him a few hours everyday and most of the time we're facing the telly or the monitor, not each other. Does he not like to engage in conversation with me anymore?
And that's why I'm still up and fretting about it.

Aw...don't be so sad. Just see it as a temporary change. No one likes their routine to be upset.
On chatting and spending time together, perhaps just focus on quality. It's quite unsettling to see each other daily but not have much to communicate about. I used to fret over this too but it's kind of part and parcel of living together. What matters is when you really do talk :) make it good!
i wanna talk to him but he prefers to face his computer leh. he will say "wait, im busy". so sad im ending up like xiang yun's character's husband in the ch8 drama, who would rather play computer games than talk to her when he gets home :(
Sweety,
If thats his priority ...his electronics, computer career and his home computer is his companion and you cant change him then you seriously missing something. Gosh, poor darling I didnt know thats his choice way of life to that of more exciting activities together and life companionship trying to get to the bottom of having a family.
Building stress prevents having babies for a family and it only makes things worse. After a heavy schedule in office one must relax at home and enjoy the nights.
Pardon me, probably its a telling sign to love somebody else.
hi virgin, sorry i didn't quite get your second sentence, was rather truncated.
as for his electronics and computers, i like those too, but I make it a point to move away from them, whereas he doesn't. That's why I always have to remind him to spend time with me instead of the computer!
But we do have lots of bedroom activity if you are implying that we aren't. =) I don't wanna love somebody else =)
how about you email him *grin*
ya no needa love somebody else lah...one headache is enough wakawaka...i so mean poking fun at you...what to do, if life give you a lemon make a lemondade + 7up maybe ha ha...
husband are silly, they only want to be sayang and to be taken care of. we marry them anyhow.
i agree with bb gal, when you guys get chance to talk, make it good...i.e. dun complain
woman's life's tough
*HUG*HUG*
ya man, husbands are quite self-centred and lazy. hai...btw, email him, he dun read one! i saw some of my emails to him are still marked as UNREAD!
