Can I vent for a minute?

So, DH and I just bought a house and are in the process of moving stuff a little at a time since we still have our apt lease until July.  I'm on summer break now so it's not a big deal.  DH also just lost a couple of employees at his work so he's having to work a ton of hours.  We also have SIL staying w/ us during the week.  So basically, we're lucky if we have one day/evening together a week due to his work schedule and our "company."  It's frustrating but whatever. 

Here's my vent, DH's one day off this week is Sunday; he doesn't have one off next week.  What else is this weekend?  My aunt's triathlon that I promised to watch, my dad has decided that he wants to come visit to help us move and watch my aunt's race, and my mom and her bf are coming to see his daughter graduate. I want to see my family but why does it all have to be at one time?  I realize I should be happy that I have family to visit me and all but still, I'd just like to have a little one on one time with my H.  Sorry that's so long and thanks for letting me vent!

Re: Can I vent for a minute?

  • I totally get it!  When we lived with FIL (and vice versa) I was going craaaaazy because it felt like we were never alone.  Luckily it was just temporary (albeit months and months of temporary) and we made up for it later.  Hopefully your situation is temporary too!

    Not yet.  Once we are, we'll have enough room that it won't be such a big deal.  We're still in our 2/2 apartment.

  • i'm sorry. totally understandable. when hubby first started his job he worked like 60 hour weeks and his days off were weekdays rather than the weekend so i never really got to see him. when he did get weekends off it was for something special that required us to go see family. all i wanted was a day to myself! totally understandable!!

    hopefully you get a chance to slip away by yourselves or somethign!

  • Is it possible for you guys to at least meet up alone for a lunch date or something like that during the week?  I understand completely though - I've been going through this off/on while DH has been in school (evening).
  • Thanks for the support and for letting me know I'm not being selfish.  :) I'm sure we'll have fun and at least it makes DH and me value our time together more.
