Lonely evenings
I am a mum to a five month old boy ... I am quite good with filling my day up with dog walks and baby groups but I am finding my evenings very, very lonely.
My husband is doing his masters degree additionally to his job and spends evenings working on that.
I feel that he is putting too many hours into it ... But it's a tricky one...there is no set time ... I can see that he is working hard, but it just sucks!
He gives baby a bath, and spends time with him whilst I cook dinner...so I am not really getting a break either ...
I just want to scream, I feel so frustrated...but what can I do?

Have a conversation with him. Discuss making time for yourself and time for each other
I sometimes go to my sisters or friends’ house at night, or they come to mine, or I’m otp or FaceTiming them. Do you have anyone that you can drop by or call?

I understand where you're coming from but there are times in a marriage where you might not have time for romance. My husband has been working abroad on and off for 6 months in total since our 13 months old was born (currently we have been apart 3 months which may get longer). Times like this really suck but remind yourself that it won't last forever and he is doing it for you to have a better future as a family. Are there any friends or family you can invite over a few times a week to feel less lonely?
