Dave is being so supportive and it is tearing me apart to do this to our relationship. He doesn't deserve it nor do it.
It is only week 1 and I have already broken the Dave & Christine work rules :( I worked past 6pm a couple of nights and I was supposed to be off on Friday, but rather I am traveling to the city.
I can't keep doing this! My husband has been gone for over a year and I can't seem to find the time to hang out with him for dinner.
What to do?
I think Christine gets tough today.
Get tough my dear!

I'm thinking of you as I know it must be very hard. It is like having to do some breaking up and boundry setting with the partner aka work that was your comfort while Dave was away. Dig deep and I'm here if you need me.

I can't say I understand since I am a state employee... but Tara is so right that it is hard to get away from what was your comfort was while he was away. Give it time Chris, you will find that balance. You have been on this routine for over a year, it is hard to just switch your gears, especially when your work has come to expect the amount of time you have been putting in. You will figure it out, don't be too hard on yourself.

Join the opt-out revolution!
Quit your job, get pregnant and start baking lots of cupcakes.

Seriously --- You'll figure out. You WILL. Trust your instincts hilda!
