We've been together 4 years and living together 2.
He has a business which starts at 5am -10pm. A business partner going for the past two years so still new but there's a nice team. He starts at 5am and between that and 10pm he comes home to and fro. At the weekends if someone rings in sick he covers to save on wages.
I know he's tired very tired.
Given that his hours are so unpredictable asking for help with childcare is hit and miss. I work part time and unfortunately its shifts but its a decent paid job for the hours i do. Im keeping us a float as he can't take much in wages from his business. I work shifts at the weekends so family 1 1/2 hours away can look after kids. Its really not ideal but for the wages......
Given it not being ideal i've set my own business up and in my 2nd year and not pulling enough to leave my job as yett. But Im tired very tired and lonely and isolated. I work the main part of the business whilst the kids are at school and other bits I get done sort off whent he kids are about.
Im struggling, desperate to mix with other people, have a conversation, laugh, be human. An exercise class?or something to keep me from bouncing off the walls.
He can't guarantee a time he'll be home and is pretty peeved at me for asking. He says im being unreasonable. My reaction right or wrong was to go for a long walk after him and the kids were in bed to stop myself from lamping him one.
