Anyone else struggle with a partner who works shifts?
My partner does shifts (days and nights, 12 hour shifts). Recenly I've been feeling very disconnected and lonely, and just want to see if there's anyone else out there who feels this too. When hes on days he gets home and is shattered and goes to bed super early. When he's on nights we're so out of sync. We sometimes don't have meals together and feels like we barely spend any quality time together. He relaxes by playing computer games with friends online, and will do this late into the night after coming off night shifts as he doesnt feel tired so I'm on my own for a lot of nights. I dont have any local friends which I know is part of the problem.
I know I'm feeling worse at the moment as he's done a lot of nights the last few weeks, I suppose i just want to know if I'm alone in this or if there are other people who feel the same.
