Anyone else’s dh get grumpy when it’s time to return to work

[Lardlizard]

He’s had a week off work, back on Tuesday and he’s been grumpy as hell since Saturday

I think it affects a lot of people, husbands or not.

My DH is a bit down today which is really unlike him! I think going back to work always sounds worse than it is.

DH is a SAHD so he doesn't get grumpy about going back to work. I get a bit down though. I don't want to go back to work, I don't want to leave my DH and DC, I want to stay at home too and do fun stuff. Once I'm back into the routine, I'll be fine but the thought of going back is so draining. Today we are torn between having a chill out day at home and actually going out and doing something so we don't waste the day.

I get grumpy as well. Do you work?

He's retired now, so no. I get extremely grumpy though

I think it is just people who work in general. I get sunday blues far too often.

I get a bit down too when dh is going back to work.

My DH is retired now, but he used to get really depressed when he was going back to work. He ran the family business and although he enjoyed the work, he wasn’t a natural manager and the bickering/back stabbing that went on between them all got him down.
He went to boarding school and he said the feeling when going back to work was the same as when he was sent away. It was painful to watch tbh. Glad he’s retired from it and any job/hobby he does now is because he really wants to.

DH is SAHD and I work. i get hideously miserable on Sundays.

So we started going out to dinner at a little nice cheapy restaurant every sunday night. It gave me something to look forwqard to on Sundays (otherwise I would mope from noon) and as I said to DH 'It's cheaper than therapy'!

DH is full of the joys when it's time to go back to work. I on the other hand am decidedly grumpy about it.

I think it is back to work blues
It’s the worse part of having time off

I do work for a charity and am a sahm

Yes, mine did, and eventually it turned into depression/stress that had him off work for about 4 months until I coached/persuaded him to change job.

Yes! He’s a teacher though, so it’s only to be expected. I’d be grumpy too.
