Been married ages, DCs left home recently.
I've become increasingly fed up with how some of the time my DH lives like a single bloke. But not sure if I'm being unfair and clingy.
I work, mainly from home, p/t. I am busy-ish but have no family nearby and my close friends are too far away /working to see often or during the week. So I can go a whole week without seeing anyone though have online/phone contact and a neighbour who I see for a chat etc.
DH goes away with work for 2 days every fortnight and sometimes every week, plus overseas trips as and when.
This week he was away from 8am Tuesday to 9pm Thursday. I had 2 clients for work plus coffee with a friend so wasn't sitting at home all day.
This morning he went out at 8.30 for the gym-personal session - and came back 4 hrs later having been 'shopping' and having a coffee in town.
I am beginning to feel resentful. He loves work and puts a lot of energy into it. We don't go out at all during the week as he's rarely home before 7 and sometimes stops off at the gym en route home so he's back at 7.30
Also because I'm at home I tend to do 90% of the housework, fitted around my work. Getting him to do any is a case of nagging.
He used to do gym Sunday mornings too- again out half the day by the time he'd had a coffee- but I got very cross and he stopped.
He is not seeing another woman. It sounds silly but he does really love me and gets upset when I say he neglects our relationship. Am I just whinging?
