Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Question for wives or husbands

a couple answers...

a) when we worked the same hours we made date nights- sometimes dinner and a movie or tv, etc.. othr times juyst dinner and talk or to do something together around the house or out (even grocery shop)...

b) we have terrific conversations on long road trips, so tend to plan a few a year for major discussion time!\

c) when we work opposite shifts (sorta like now) we make dates to see each other and actually spend more time together during the week that is quality then we do when we work the same hours.. instead of dinner and a movie we'll spend my entire lunch hour at a restaurant where he has pre-ordered food talking and catching up with each other one day a week and on another he'll cook me breakfast. My lunch is at 9 AM and thats what we do on weekends! we also still try to get oen evening in just us.. and on Fri nights we have open guest night- when there are new stargate episodes we plan the evening around them... and many of our friends come for dinner and to watch.... if not- Dh ad his friends go down and watch anime and the women will stay upstairs and talk after dinner or watch a movie (some of my male friends prefer the latter group too...not as into anime!)

Dh is also a computer geek and sometimes stays up all night playing games or has people over to play computer games, but I tend to stay seperate from that because of my work schedule.. we sleep in 1 bed, but I go to bed by 9 PM at the latest and get up at 4, and he is more like 11 get up at 7... so we don't see each other around bed other then my going in his office on my way to bed or finding him in the TV room to kiss him good night.
