My partner works constant nightshift, and it does have a strain on the relationship... the difference with me is that I don't have a daughter to work around aswell. I agree with Sol, he can come to you, and perhaps should come to you, just so you can at least spend some time together.<BR/><BR/>I usually wake up my partner about 8pm with big cuddles in bed for 15mins or so, then we have dinner together - any chance you can work out a time that you can both have dinner together? Can't he have a snack before going to work if he's feeling a bit peckish?<BR/><BR/>I hope things come together Ok for you both... its hard that he's in the van, but as long as you are communicating, thats the most important thing.<BR/><BR/>I hate nightshift by the way... it sucks the life out of you, and has a tendancy to put pressure on relationships.<BR/><BR/>Good luck matey.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203331375085686248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500480260044503044.post-52378144717600489712007-10-24T09:47:00.000+09:302007-10-24T09:47:00.000+09:30You know, it's a two way street.

Even sitting in the same room doing different things used to suffice for Ken if he was feeling a bit neglected. Course, pre-teens are always going to be wanting to be where there are no parents, so he's not going to get much satisfaction there. =)SOL's viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310018396992885773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500480260044503044.post-107244118966472192007-10-23T20:42:00.000+09:302007-10-23T20:42:00.000+09:30Hi Froggy,Hang in there.

I have had one like that for the past few weeks. Mr. Hatchet at work is getting him down. I probably don't help either as I had been feeling rather neglected. We just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary yesterday. We celebrated on the weekend and had a day out at the theatre, a night in a hotel and a really nice dinner. Doesn't have to be a special occasion to do these kinds of things you know. Even a nice relaxing picnic somewhere or a special meal on the day that he is not working where you don't have to do much, just spend some time together. <BR/><BR/>We need to catch up for a coffee and a chinwag. Would love to see you.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Doombah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
