He’s been staying late after work

My husband recently got a promotion at work, and has been working 12-14 hour days compared to his regular 8 hour shift. It’s been pretty hard, because I work 3rd shift and then I’m up with our toddler during the day. Just been missing him a lot.

Today was a particularly rough day for me. My husband had his mom come over to watch our son, so I could sleep for a little. (Side note, we are also expecting baby #2 in October!) When I woke up, I just felt really anxious and sad. Didn’t really know why. When my husband came home, he asked me what was really wrong. I told him I didn’t know. Just felt sad. I did mention “I did miss you a lot today, though. It sucks that you’ve been having to work so much lately.” He responded “Oh, I know. But I just want you to know that I’m only working so much for our family. I wanna be able to provide for you guys so we can live comfortably. BUT, if you really do need me here, I can stop picking up hours, and come home at my normal time. I love you, okay? You let me know.”

My heart melted, guys 🥺 I of course told him that I understood why he was working so much. He then took me into the living room and just snuggled me in close to him on the couch. It sucks, but I am proud to be married to a man who busts his ass to care for his family 🥰
