[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 327856, member: 3444"] rls, you are too funny! And welcome back I've been wondering what you've been up to lately... He and I went out to dinner... ALONE last night (I know it's a crap shoot with the kids and all, but the first phone call didn't come until we were actually finished with dinner, so I count the evening as a success). I think the time we spent was therapeutic for him. The more he talked the more I could see him relaxing :) It may just take some time and me constantly reminding him that he can go someplace else after a few months at this job. He needs to remember that he has control over the situation ultimately. His boss said he wants to make this job work for husband because he really needs him, so working from home occasionally is definitely an option. He's planning to do that Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, and that seems to have settled him down a bit already. My mom told him that the traffic preceding these holidays is usually worse than other times of the year... I hope she's right, and I told him that things may get better after the first of the year. I suppose if we didn't have kids at home this wouldn't be such a big deal -- it's nice that this matters so much to him :) [/QUOTE]
