If it was the night before a go-live and your analyst was stressing about some last minute work, and you said “need help?” And they said no. Would you leave and go get sleep at the hotel?

No. You stay up. And maybe take over. Shit needs to get done.

You left your partner hanging solo. Was she also sleepy? Maybe from solo parenting while you’re on the road? Maybe from being the food supply too? Cmon. You aren’t a mind reader but you are missing the context clues.

A whole day of no nagging? sounds like she was giving you a present.

You did not nothing wrong. You're not a mind reader. She needs to grow up and communicate. Silence when communication is nessecary just pushes the partner away. Ignore her and let it go. You asked her what she needed and you're not perfect. Honest two way communication skills a lot of unnessecary drama in relationships .

Mom here - if it was a particularly difficult night, would have been nice if you stayed just to be there with her. Agree she should have said something when you started heading to bed

I get that it’s co-parenting and both need to do the job but it’d also be helpful to be upfront about it rather than just hints with hopeful thought. I usually stay up until 2-3am then we switch our shift, and no, I don’t travel. I pretty much say no to all traveling projects for the last 6 months and my team has been supportive.
Well.. after I do that for a couple of time, we got our communication sorted out. I let her know that if you need help, say so and id help and I do the same as well but I would hate to always guess what’s on others mind to do things

Sounds like you need a no mind reading rule . . . If you won't say it, then you can't complain about it later.

My wife said she’s fine and you can go back to sleep. I happily listen to her because happy wife, happy life, right?
Well... she doesn’t speak to me for the entire next day, and I can’t figure out why!!!

Always make sure to change every diaper when you are there

West Monroe1: I can't believe you think so little of your wife that she's the"analyst" when it comes to parenting and you're the partner.
You stay up with the analyst because they are a 23 year old kid who will likely make bad decisions.
you need to trust your spouse
