Dh works very hard in a very stressful job and sometimes when he gets home he says he just wants to sit and be.
We can go whole evenings barely uttering a word and he says he feels so comfortable with my company that we don't need constant chit chat but he likes to sit with me and enjoys me being there.
We also have young children and he does make an effort to interact with us as a family while they are up but then once they're in bed he says he's exhausted and just sits in silence, watching tv or playing video games, (unwinding) although apparently happy.
I don't know what to think of this, is this what married life ends up as?
I'm at home all day with baby and 2 primary school children and he calls me throughout the day for a chat when he's at work and we talk more on the phone than in person.
I look forward to him coming home because I'm on my own all day and end up on here most evenings for the company.
He had 2 weeks off over Christmas and we spent the evenings together drinking, listening to music and enjoying being together and now he's back at work and I miss that togetherness that I'm not feeling anymore even though he's sitting beside me in silence.
