H's New Job

So this is my first post on the Nest so far. Yay :)

 Anyway so on Monday H starts his new job. I'm a little nervous because it is longer hours and could be odd hours as well. So he won't have the normal 8-5 hours anymore. :( Plus he has to go to a training for 10 days. I don't know how I'm going to sleep alone at night! I'm not good at being home alone at night! UGH!

Re: H's New Job

  • I know what you mean with having a H that doesn't work your traditional hours.  My husband works 7-4 but then is a supervisor and has an on-call schedule along with it....so every couple of weeks he goes on call and I see him for a few hours a week.  Then on his weeks of not on-call, anytime there is a problem or issue, he gets called.  So essentially he's "on-call" 24/7.  It can drive me crazy, but then there are parts of my job that drive him crazy too! 

    You will learn to adjust and just make sure you certainly take time for the two of you when you are together.  It usually makes your time together that much better!

  • I guess I don't really have any good advice...but good luck to you guys with the transition, I'm sure you'll "settle" in to your new normal soon enough!

    I agree, eventually everything will settle and you guys will find a new routine that works for you.

    I agree with this H works really weird hours too depending on location of their job most of the time he works 7-3:30 so he wakes up at 5:30 but then some days he wakes up at 4 and gets home at 5 or 6. And some days he's off work by 12 you just never know. I think you will adjust and get used to things once you give it a little bit of time. It's hard at first but change is good.

  • congrats on your hubby's new job!  like other's have said, y'all will fall into some sort of routine that works with your schedules :)

    me and hubby are still apart right now because of work, so i feel you on being alone :(  we've been living like this for just about our whole relationship though, so we're used to it.  it's terrible at first though, i hope you have a dog or good friends to keep you occupied!!  try looking at it like you have this time to yourself now to do things that hubby probably wouldn't want to do with you, i really enjoy my alone time since i'm so used to having it, i don't have to answer to no one!  hahaha

    can he skype while he's away at his 10 day training thing?  maybe y'all could do a skype date some night while he's gone!  we used to do that all the time, we'd play battleship, connect four, or scrabble online against each other.  :-P 

  • Thanks for all the support!! I really appreciate it
