Since Hubby is a recovering lawyer and actually worked in the same field we are perhaps a unique position. We both used to come home, eat dinner, play with the dog chat with other and finish work while on the couch. Now, I finish work on the couch or check emails and he surfs the internet. I've been trying to get a better picture of myself through his eyes, right now it isn't flattering. I know that I have always been career driven, or just driven in general, but since the change in our lives it has gotten worse. I work harder at everything, in essence to make up for the work that he isn't able to do anymore. But, while I like the productiveness of it, I don't like the impression of "driven she bitch" that it gives off.
I feel like Hubby and I have switched places in some 50's sitcom. I am now the husband that works all the time and comes home only to drink and want to be left alone to work more and he only wants time with me. I have never felt so close to stereotypical 50's man in my life, sans three piece suit, hat, etc.
This is going to take a lot of understanding from both sides. I feel I need to work more to make more and he feels I need to spend more time with him since he is lonely all day. It is a hard situation on both sides.
