Reply To: Coming home late from work

ok. calm down everybody! I do NOT have shalom bayis issues. My husband is wonderful… really! And no, this is not every night. He usually comes home between 7 and 9, but now it’s busy season in his office so he’s coming home later. I just wanted to find out if other people have the same experience or if he is being taken advantage of because he is a hard worker. And if it’s normal to worry about your husband driving home that late at night. (And yes, I was up the whole time talking to him on his way home so that he shouldn’t fall asleep – a nice normal everyday conversation – no tension or anything…) And I know he was at work (I hear him talking to colleagues in the background about work-related matters…)

Again: the point of this thread was to find out:

A – If this is a normal situation or if my husband is overworking and/or being taken advantage of. (Actually, I think he is being taken advantage of because everybody likes the way he works, but he’s scared that if he complains, he’ll be fired.)

B – How wives deal with being lonely at night

NOT to solicit shalom bayis help (which is not needed in the first place). I’m sorry if I gave that impression.

And Sacrilege – I agree this is not the place for discussing shalom bayis issues. I would be embarrassed to do so.

Seeallsides: Thanks for your advice. I already do all those things…
