It's another week of passing ships in the night. My husband's schedule and mine are rarely synced these days. Missing those lazy Sundays together. Is anyone else struggling to find quality time with their partner? Feeling the distance even though we're under the same roof.

Things will never be the same. Once or twice they might be but as we don't plan many things in advance and later crave what is being missed. I think it's better to communicate with spouse effectively about it and see if the other person is on the same page and under his/her mindset.
Now once that is done, check if you two can take some timeout from office and spend some time alone away from all the rush, chores and stress.
I am assuming you know it already, but still I am putting here to address with your partner, if not.

You both are doing tremendous work just to earn those decent money but losing all your precious time in between is not worth that money, it's much more.

Hope my words make some sense and bring what you want.

-Cheers 😊

Communication is key. Keep talking when you can. Hopefully both of you miss each other. Make time when you can and prioritize little gestures to show your love. Little notes, favorite foods, a picture saying hi, etc… you know your spouse and what they would appreciate in a brief moment. Best of luck, opposing schedules can be tough but manageable if both parties work at it.

I understand exactly how you are feeling OP. I work 4-12 and my husband works 9-5. So by the time I get home he is asleep and he leaves for work usually before I am up. It sucks but we try to make the most of the time we have together on the weekends.

Am I overthinking? contd.

I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
