My husband is training to be a detective (he got this job half way through our relationship of 8 years). He is always finishing late recently. I feel like all I do is wait around for him. I thought we were going to spend today together but he gets a call at 7am to drive 3 hours for work and I won’t see him till this evening. I can never make last minute plans because the friends I do have have, have children and families and they are doing their own thing. My mum has moved to Spain and I don’t have any other family than my sister who is always working.

I work full time and i have to clean and tidy up for both of us. I do all the cooking, washing etc.

We have been trying for a baby for a year and a half but we are struggling. We have both tested fine. A lot of the time we are too tired for sex or he’s too busy working. He is getting stressed, as well as working he is revising for his exam. Pretty much any time he’s free he’s revising.

I’m just feeling really down. I feel mean because it’s his job and I should be happy for him but I just feel shit. There’s nothing we can do about it either. ☹️ he knows I feel like this but he has to work.

Rant over.
