The definition of unhappiness:
Wife has been upset that she has had to work so many 1 to 10 shifts. She, accurately, states that working 1 to 10 means that she doesn’t have any time with her husband. However, she was given a 7 to 4 today. She woke up at 6:10 and spent a full 30 minutes bitching about how unfair, terrible, and awful it is that she had to work so early and how it would be FAR better for her to start work at 10 or 11.

So… she despises working until 10 and despises starting work before 10. That’s… rather limiting.

And her anger and negativity is.... well… an unpleasant way to start my day, I’ll say.

Not being a morning person I would hate early shifts but if you work , you have to do one or the other. It's hard when they rotate you frequently to other shifts, it throws your body ( and mood off ).

Dude, this sucks. :( I know how much a simple attitude change can start the day off right, even if you know waking up early sucks, or not getting to spend enough time with your husband sucks. But at the same time, I feel like you're the kind of person who loves to find that light in the dark and walk towards it, whereas, from what you've written lately, your wife doesn't seem to want to acknowledge the light. Or the silver lining. It can be VERY draining to be around someone who is constantly negative in their attitude about life, complaining about things that they COULD change if they'd only try... etc. I think she probably needs to talk to someone else, someone who is NOT so close to her - who isn't smack in the middle of the angry moods. I'm sure this has been suggested time and time again, and also again, she's gotta be the one who wants to do it. But I think she just needs to someone to VENT to about that shitty retail life, and she needs it to be someone who won't take it personally. I don't blame either of you for feeling the ways you feel. I know it's tough. I've definitely been there myself once or twice or last week. :P

It's one thing to vent, but a whole nother story to suck the life out of the atmosphere around you, yeah? :(
