Does anyone else have a husband that literally just works all the time I am honestly so drained I am literally so exhausted 😩 😠I am just on my own all the time I feel like it would probably be better if I was just a single parent sometimes it’s just so draining.
I am currently receiving postnatal support as since giving birth to my second I have been struggling I had a really traumatic time it’s Easter weekend and I am just sitting at home not having the energy to do anything he literally works Monday - Saturday all the time till 5am-7pm.
I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar situation does it get better I just don’t know if I can carry on with this relationship I hardly see him and when I do it’s pretty much bed time.
The washing is piled high the house is a mess and I don’t have the energy to do anything other than to look after my two children.

I told my partner i dont want him working any late shifts. Any time they start giving him 6-7pm finishes multiple times a week multiple weeks in a row i tell him to tell them its too much. So on average he finishes work around 4:30 most days then the odd 6-6:30 shift once a week. He always starts at 6am. So yeah.. it feels lonely, so i make it a big deal to watch a movie or play games (pc/xbox) together on his days off.

My husband is out of the house for 12 hours a day with travel and work combined, which is our daughter's entire day, she wakes up not long after he leaves and goes to sleep before he's back.
I go to baby play sessions, swimming on the weekend and see my family and friends as much as I can but it can be quite isolating xx

My husband works the strangest hours and I very rarely see him,sometimes he works 7 days a week..he'll go to work at 2pm and can come back at 5,6 or 7am so then he'll sleep the morning away get up and go back work..it's actually draining me atm because I feel like I'm always alone and very rarely get any help..and I have a medical condition that drains my iron so I'm constantly tired 😫
