Hi all, I have a very loving partner but he works 6 days a week doing long hours and also farms part time. We have a five month old baby and my partner goes to work at 6 in the morning and not back home to maybe 8 or 9 some nights by the time the farms seen to etc. I am literally left with my daughter 6 days a week morning to night. I have no social life and have no time to myself whatsoever. I’ve tried to explain this to my partner that I feel so isolated and lonely. He seems to think that working these long hours is acceptable but I’d would much rather the time to spend with him than the extra money but he can’t seem to grasp it. I’m not asking of much of him maybe just an evening a week where he takes the baby to let me see friends or even go around the shops in peace. What’s your options

Also to clarify I plan to work 22 hours a week when my maternity is up and before I had my baby I was working 44 hours a week as a hca.

Your not being unreasonable obviously

Why is he not listening to what you saying?

Perhaps he enjoys the long hours and being out the house. Was he working like this before you had your baby?
