Please be nice. My husband works ALOT. He runs a bussiness. He starts work when I finish. We see each other for an hour on a rare occasion when I finish. He goes out to work returns between 10.30 and 11pm. Used to be later but COVID happened. He has 2 days off when I'm at work. I see him at the weekend until 3 which is when he goes off to work. Now sometimes on his day off he will go in as his bussiness requires him to. I often eat alone, watch tv alone, have no one to talk to. I am a bit of a billy no mates I guess. I dont have children and miscarried a month ago.
Fridays and weekends are a busy time as he has a restaurant so I don't have friday nights or saturday night...in fact I dont even have those days. I often feel lonely and sad when people at work talk about stuff they do at the weekends because I dont have that.

When he is at home he always on his phone doing something. I stay up late to see him even though i wake up at 5.45am for work. I try to leave work when it's time instead of staying a while like everyone else because I just want to see him.

I'm starting to feel like it's not fair. I feel lonely and often fight with him as I know he could put a bit it effort in and spend more time at home? With me? Or just not be on his phone all the time.
I've started getting angry with him and told him I was having enough and wanted to end it. I sometimes feel I'm being unreasonable.

I just feel like my life has passed by alone. I'm 38 turning 39 in a few months. I feel like when were together the clock is always ticking.
This is causing a lot of fights and I threaten to leave him and he says I'm unreasonable. I dont know if I am. I'm just alone. Am I too demanding?
