yes - kids at school, and both of them getting themselves there and back now, which means my working day is a bit less interrupted. I am finding it tough working from home - I need more people around me - but you know, we have our health, are quite stable financially and it is extremely unlikely either of us will lose our jobs so I can't complain too much (though I do).
I know what you mean about excuses. Though I think I disagree. I don't like how he deals with his bad feelings, but he's entitled to them - his work is pretty traumatic and has been all year. He's often 2-3 hours late home on a shift (and yes, I do know he is actually at work and not with an OW) and is physically and emotionally exhausted. None of which excuses him being mean to me, but it does give him a really really good reason for needing more recharge time than he generally gets. And I can choose how involved I get in his bad feelings. I wish he'd turn to me rather than away, but that is how he's made and isn't something he's doing to be cruel.
