I understand the issue slightly because I kinda have had the same situation for years where my wife works lots of odd hours. I'd often get frustrated - oblique [220] Jan 25, 12:32 11
- that's sounds like...*gasp!* a grown-up talking! - Diva Jan 25, 12:34 9

    - tell the truth - does "a game or a project" translate to 'i was sitting on the sofa playing video games in my underwear and I don't want to stop."? - Diva Jan 25, 12:38 7
      - In all honesty? If I get home and change out of my dress clothes into comfies, I am not exactly pleased if I have to get dressed again to go out. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:48 2
        
        as stated in the im - i've been there and I get it. - Diva Jan 25, 12:57 1
        
        and I'm no Jack Flash at this time of year either. - Mel Profit Jan 25, 13:03
      - well, I usually had pants on and was in the basement but pretty much - oblique [220] Jan 25, 12:40 3
        
        she took HSXWorld away from us?! -- nm - charlie Jan 25, 12:42 1
        
        sadly, that was my own doing. When I moved to a hosting provider they had an outage that took out my data and it never really recovered - oblique [220] Jan 25, 12:46
        
        I believe everything in the above post except for the pants part. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 12:41

he wants to be the one in the drivers seat. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 12:29 2
- then he should take control of his own time. she can't help her schedule, but it's odd for him to resent her trying to make time for them. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 12:31 1
  - exactly, he's just being a total dick. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 12:32
That's the underlying problem he's not articulating. -- nm - pmb Jan 25, 12:27
right? like, no-one is telling you to do nothing in case she is free. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 12:26
