Not the nature of his life outside the house so much, I know he's finding his job a bit stressful at the moment, but just the fact that he has one! DH has just come back from 3 weeks away working, during which time I was alone with DS (just turned 2), in a house we only moved into 3 weeks previously, in a village where I know not a single soul. I know they were working hard while they were away, but I know they also had fun, working in a big group, outdoors and in the evenings having a good drink. He has no idea how I long to be part of something. As a SAHM my sphere of existence is tiny, I feel I barely exist outside of the house and the neverending round of preparing meals, doing dishes, washing, preparing meals, doing dishes, oh and then after that sitting down in the evening to do the freelance work I'm attempting to do in my 'spare time'. The only good thing about him being away was the fact that I didn't get angry about it always being me doing the cooking and the dishes, as there was noone else to do them. Now he's back, and he's tired after all his hard work(!) and slightly anxious at work as he's just started a new job. He came home today and lost the head with poor ds (spilt his drink and then cried because his food was too hot!) within about half an hour of coming home. I think if I can stay civil with him (ds that is) after being at home with him all day (not to mention the past three weeks), then I think he can. Argh! I've just had enough of this nothing life. Sometimes I dread another day of the same. Sorry for very long rant...
