Everytime I work on the weekend I get into some sort of fight with my spouse. Anyone else get annoyed when their spouse constantly asks you when you’ll be done working, or asks how much longer you have to work. It annoys the hell out of me. I don’t want be working on a Sunday anymore than my spouse wants me to be working. But I have to. I don’t need reminded that I am disappointing my family in addition to working on the weekend. Am I alone in thinking this? Am I wrong to get so annoyed?

Just took a positive pregnancy test this morning!! I can’t focus on work!! I got off the pill in March and figured it would take us a little while to get pregnant. I missed my period last week so took a pregnancy test yesterday (oh the irony) and it was positive! Part of me didn’t believe it so I bought a test from a diff brand, took it this AM, and it was positive again. I’m half terrified and half want to shout from the rooftops!! (It’s our first.) So posting here bc I can’t tell anyone yet!!!

However, at times, it feels the communication is coerced and there is a lack of rapport. Anyone else struggle with this? Thanks!
