I appreciate your taking time to comment on my blog posting. I wasn’t sure if you were asking me personally how I managed this or if you were voicing general frustration.

For my own part, I have a great husband who tries hard not to intrude into my work time. However I do think that we manage to have plenty of time to talk. When I’m in town, dinner together is an important time to share the day’s events, even if I do go back to the computer for awhile later. I also take the last hour of the evening to sit together, even if it’s watching a movie or TV show. When out of town, we wrap up the evening by talking over the day’s events.

As far as going out, I do more of that than he would be inclined to on his own. He has a stressful job too, doesn’t have much evening time at home, and looks for downtime.

I try to limit office work on weekends that I’m in town so we can do things together. Even mundane chores and errands done together can become quality time.
