dp and i live together. no dc. dp is a cabbie and can go in and come home when he likes. he works early morning til 7pm weekdays and my current bone of contention is him working weekend nights. For example, today he has been gone since 7am. He came home an hour ago for tea, so stayed half an hour, then went back out to work again as he had a booked job, and I expected him home after that one job, but he's just phoned to say he's staying working for about an other hour. That's 16 hours on the road! Sure he get's quiet moments where he parks up and waits for work, but that's not the point. Thing is, if it stays busy after an hour, I know he'll stay out later, probably til 2am til the pubs kick out. He thinks it's ok coz he'll be home tomorrow and takes me for sunday lunch, but it's not ok. I was looking forward to spending an hour before bed having a wind down together as we don't have to get up in the morning, but i'll be struggling to stay awake when he comes in later and i'm mad at him anyway. He gets upset and thinks IABU because I go on at him working Saturday nights as i'd like us to spend them together, but i'm getting tired of the constant working now. He thinks it's ok too as we go away for a night one weekend a month. We don't even need the money. He just sees £ signs infront of his eyes and gets greedy.
