My husband works in the medical industry and between the unpredictable schedules, coworkers, and soul-sucking management, he is very depressed. He recently switched to a different employer (doing the same job) and is still having the same problems. He works 2nd shift (3-11 pm) and feels very guilty/sad/lonely because it's basically the opposite of my schedule (8 am-5), so we don't get to see each other. We're both home alone for long periods while the other is at work. Although we get weekends together, it's affecting our relationship because he feels depressed/guilty for putting us through this. His employer claims a day shift will open up for him someday, but is very vague and refuses to make promises. Has anyone else experienced this schedule difference, and been able to make it work? Maybe get a dog to fill the alone time? Creating a ritual/special day(s) for quality time together?
<bot>: I work day shift (9-5) and husband works 2nd shift (3pm-11), it's affecting our relationship. How to make this work/maximize the little time spent together?
