For some reason throughout the last couple of months of my pregnancy, in particular the last 3 weeks of it, G has decided to be at work ALL OF THE TIME. He's leaving earlier than usual and getting home late... after D has gone to bed or at the earliest, at his bedtime. The days are extremely long and tiring trying to look after D and cope with being this size, in this heat. When G does come home the first thing he usually does is disappear into the basement and continue to work. Or bring his laptop upstairs and work from the sofa ignoring anyone around him. He's rarely in bed before 2am, and his temper is bad. Quick to snap, quick to shout, and totally lacking in empathy or patience for either D or I.
The thing about relationships is you have to make time for each other and work at them, otherwise you end up feeling separate and apart... and feeling like this at 37wks pregnancy is fucking awful.
I am so tired and washed out and I'm so fed up with coping with these long endless days alone.
