to be fed up with DP constantly working really late / being home alone?

[Daffy55]

DP works in finance in the City. Constant late nights.

He has just called (again) to say he is not sure he will be home tonight as a big deal is completing so he might be in the office all night (again).

I am just so fed up of this. It happens a lot, and always happens without any notice (ie. I have just found out now he won't be home tonight) so it is normally too late for me to arrange to see friends / make alternative plans and we can't plan around it.

DP is really low and fed up with it too. He is keeping his eyes open for other jobs but there aren't many around and he can't 'just quit' as we have a mortgage to pay etc.

I used to work in corporate law myself so I know how it is and these jobs do involve long hours. But I am just so fed up of being home alone without DP all the time (and not knowing in advance so I can prepare myself so to speak). It does not help that I don't really like being in the house on my own at night (because I am a super-wimp).

Does anyone else experience this?

Different but I work 2 jobs meaning my DH is home alone 4 nights a week and I feel guilty as hell about that. I know he's bored and misses me. Sucks for you and your DH.

Agree with others Bout setting plans for at least one night a week and stick to them even if AdH is home or could you get a pet? Dog training classes or walking is a good way to meet new people

Yep. I've got the same. Except it includes weekends and last minute week long trips to New York.

When DP & I moved to London we left whippet back on the farm. She missed us so much we bought a small ground floor flat where she slept, watched T.V and neighbours whilst we worked 7-7...lightweights! Walks first thing and evening with love and cuddles.She was the happiest dog ever and wonderful company.
