I’ve been pretty lucky to have the exact same schedule as my husband since July. It’s been nice to have the same days off as him. Our “weekends” are Wednesday and Thursday. Sure we’ve not been able to do much due to money constraints but it IS nice to do ordinary things together like get up in the morning together. Spend the day together. Hell even go to bed together.
Our boss convinced him to apply for a support position. He applied. He used all the things I have taught him about being a good manager/support person in a call center. He’s never worked in one you see. He did spectacular! I knew he would.
Today he was told we may now be on a similar shift (his will start 30 minutes before me and end 30 minutes before mine) and taadaaa… we’ll have totally opposite days off. He’ll have Sunday/Monday and I’ll have Wednesday/Thursday.
Nothing is final - it’s all proposed. He’s not even been offered the position. But IF he accepts it that means I’ll see my husband for 4 hours a day and we won’t have shared days off unless we take vacation - OH and that is IF it’s approved and IF he’s even allowed to take vacation (and even then it’s 7 days once ever 6months)
I’m sad.... very sad. I’m also worried and angry. June before I transferred programs he was not interested in moving up in the company. I turned down a management job so I could move to his program and try to get a similar shift. We were told (and it happened) that we could be on the same shift. It’s been awesome. I’m worried because the last time we worked where we didn’t have days off together that thing came into our lives. Sure I can’t let her rule how I live but she does. If we’re not on the same shift she’ll just waltz right back in where she was. She still calls - as far as I can tell he ignores it. (I’m still waiting for Aug bill to come in)
My friend says that if he does it again then he’s the fool and he does not deserve me anyway. Thing is.. he’s the only one I have here. I’m not close to his mom. I’m now guarded with his girls after finding out everything I tell them goes right back to his ex but in some twisted fashion. He IS my friend here.
.... and it’s like my friend is moving to another classroom and leaving me behind - again.
Yeah… I have a sad.... :( I’ll let you all know what is going on with this position and what he does with it.
Is it worth an extra dollar an hour to never see your spouse? Me… I don’t think so.
