My bloke works away from home. I found out today that his colleagues were coming home today but he's doing extra work and is home tomorrow. It's just a little thing but it's enough to cause a minor row.
I just get fed up with him heading off to foreign lands all the time, I get stuck at home with the kids. I work too and it's hard work for me when he's away, and the worst thing is being lonely - particularly in the evenings when the kids are in bed. He happens to work with his best friend, his evenings mean restaurants and bars with his mates.
This resentment has nearly split us up in the past. I want him to have a job that he enjoys, but at the same time I hate his stupid job! We've had this issue since our son was born 2.5 years ago, I don't know what the answer is.
I think if I had a job I liked and more of a life it would help. But my friends are mums, they don't get out much in the evenings either, and we don't have family nearby to babysit. I feel very stuck and overworked and unsupported when he's away, I feel like a single mum - but I'm not!
I hate whining about this, but it's getting ridiculous that we can't seem to fix it.

Does any one else hate their partner's job? Or cope well with partner being away?
