New Job

[Goose88]

Spouse has been in a bad place since I took a job 90 days ago
I have been working hard I told them I would work 9-10 days he days from June - August. I can stretch that into Saturday so no biggie

But since I took the job she has been just angry at me

We have been married 15 years and I worked she stayed home and there were hard times but we still were close and what not

We are 44 now and since going back to work she had been off. Teasing me almost. Trying to push my buttons. I guess I have been more stressed. I tried to let her know when my big important days were but those days she seemed to be irritated the most. I realize I’m doing something wrong but I am not sure how to even ask.

It’s not just me she had snapped at her mom on our middle child’s birthday and then snapped at both girls after they got home from lunch. I am trying to stay level but I haven’t ever been this angry towards her let alone anyone in my life.  I cried multiple times past few weeks. I don’t like expecting things but I thought they would be happy for me   They were during the whole interview process

I feel like I’m confused and complaining now

So you got a new job and it involves a lot of hours and your wife seems angry about you working so much?

I wasn’t sure if she’s working too. Apparently she’s been impatient with her mother and your daughters too. Is there anything else that might have set her off? Is she under a lot of stress lately?
