Re: NWR: Girls....just need to talk...

AWWW i know exactly how you feel....We only see each other on the weekends he works nights i work days ...we literally cross each others paths in the morning and seee each other for about 10 minutes in the evening....then on the weekend we usually have stupid fights over chores and things we have to do with our families and stuff like that.
I go take my frustration out in kick boxing class...seems to help a bit ...but there's really nothing we can do...we both have to work ...ya know

Re: NWR: Girls....just need to talk...

schedule something, a date (dinner and a movie?) for a few weekends from now. let people who approach you with plans know that that weekend you are both unavailable. Good luck

Re: NWR: Girls....just need to talk...

sorry to hear this babe

as you know anthony and i have our 'sacred' half hour a night time lol and it really stinks

i do the exact same thing - instead of enjoying our time together we kind of just get pissed off at eachother

i get pissed at him for getting out so late and he gets pissed at me bc i want to be in bed so early and have to go home

it is completely normal and i think everyone is going through the same thing, especially with the added stress of wedding planning!

you guys have to make 'real dates' like actual time and place so that way you stick to it and make time for yourselves!

good luck hun!

Re: NWR: Girls....just need to talk...

I know how you feel

FH and I work different schedules, I work in the morning and he works the evening shift. He gets off work at 11pm, we hardly had any time to see each other.

We decided to move in togheter last month and I still see him for a minute when he gets off work and get home at 11:30pm.
I just say hello and fall asleep right after.

My hope is on the lottery too and we won't have to work as much.

Yeah. . .I used to have this problem too when he worked the night tour. I only saw him 2x a week---it was sooo frustrating. However, I agree that you should have an official 'Date Night.' (Only the two of you . . .and no one else). Go out to a nice dinner. . .and then a movie or just chill afterwards. You can catch up on everthing=)

Re: NWR: Girls....just need to talk...

I hear you, FH is in the FDNY and his schedule is a lot different than mine. He also likes to play golf and it seems to be a busy time for golf outings.

It's hard, so many of my friends do couply things on the weekends and most of the time, he is working. I get upset and we have some arguments about it but, I try to keep busy when he is. I started working a little on weekends to make some extra spending money and to give me something to do!

Re: NWR: Girls....just need to talk...

Aww Diane I agree that with both your conflicting schedules you should set aside a specific date night each week to spend quality time together...and not the tv watching, remote stealing type of quality time Possibly make dinner 'together', maybe play a board game or dance in your living room together?!?! Something different...or if you want to get out of the house, go out to dinner or go bowling or go-kart racing lol just something fun that you guys can catch up with each other!!! But even if you're staying at home or going out for a date night shut your cell phones off, make it 100% you and me time, no distractions!!!
