I want more time with him
Relationship Stress / by Squishycantaloupe19

...See more My husband and I are just recently married. Weve been together for almost 3 years though. I love him with all my heart, but loving him can be hard sometimes. We both work strange hours and because of that I rarely see him, not to mention he is also in the reserves for the military. To put this into perspective, the military will take him for a weekend each month, my hours are from 12-9 and his are 1-10 with many doubles throughout the week and sometimes (cough cough almost all the time) weekends too. Because of the doubles he sleeps in a lot and we often dont t get out of bed until 10. And by then I have to get ready for work and leave. So times that I get to see him are rare, and when I do see him, he is often complaining about how tired he is and he will end up going to bed right away. So I usually only see him awake for about an hour or two a day, if that. He also has a lot of friends that seem to always want to hang out with him and will snag him up when he does finally get a day off. I often feel like I am competing for his time. I get really sad when he does other things without me or spends time with other people, because part of me feels like Im getting put on the back burner. And yeah a lot of the time he will bring me along when he goes out with his friends, but personally I want more. I feel like its not actually quality time being out with him and his friends. Am I wrong for feeling this way? Is it wrong for me to feel like the time he is giving me is not enough? Im sorry, Ive had a rough day and I needed a bit of a rant. I apologize if I seemed to ramble.
