When all you do is work , it saps your ability to interact normally with others after a while. Nothing seems to be much fun You begin to have a quick temper and the least thing ignites you like a rocket! (I know from personal experience.) You have NO patience at ALL You start to be very short-tempered and reactionary. And that frays others nerves, they fuss back and/or withdraw some and cuts the fatigued one off from the people they need the most when they need them the most. You really start to feel all alone and stuck in your rut of work and sort of get mad at others who have it a little easier. Try to cut him some slack and see what you can do to make him feel very appreciated and special - set the clock and wake up B4 he gets home for a while, give him back rubs, make his favorite dish, buy him a little man-gift and put it on his pillow. Don't expect him to want to talk much. Expect little from him until he's out of this work marathon and then you will get your guy back. And he won't forget the quiet and special little things you did to try to make this time smoother. I know you love him so go help him through this and one day he will return the favor when you are going through something really touch or hard. God bless you two! |
You are so right! All you ladies really hit the spot on this one! He is the best guy I know, he deserves a lady that treats him like a king, esp right now!!
