Can't and WONT live like this anymore........

[iliketosleep]

Long story short, DH started a job 6 weeks ago working 10pm-6am. Was supposed to be mon-fri but he has barely had a day off since he started. He was off last night and even though he hasn't been asked to go in tonight he is going anyway because "Its boring here". I have near enough begged him to not go in tonight but he told me he is going in. We haven't had sex for over 6 weeks either :(

Is this my life now? I sit every night on my own, go to bed on my own, wake up on my own and spend everyday up until 5pm on my own. I feel like a single parent and its shite :(

This is just the way this bloke is. He won't change, I suggest if you want any different and you've talked it through, and you're still not happy, it's probably best to leave now if you're unhappy, as it's not likely to change.

iliketosleep I don't know what is wrong with your husband- but I have to disagree with the comments that you should just leave.
I am glad that you are at least considering my view that it could be fear on his part- unemployment can sap a person's confidence and esteem and can make them compulsive about working when they do get work.
Hey, it may be something completely different that is causing his behaviour and as such you must consider the alternatives, too.
But I do feel there's no harm in considering the 'compulsive work' option.

He read this today, He joked about when are we splitting and said he was planning on taking the tv :)

We haven't really spoke about it but he has sent me a text message tonight to say that he loves me and ONLY ME and is working so much for us.

I have said that if he insists on doing overtime then just do Mon-Sat so I can have sunday night and all day monday with him. Its a start isn't it?!

I'm glad we have had this weekend, its lightened the air alot :o

Thanks for all your advice xx
