A little about me. I got married to my best friend in October 2009. He lives in an apartment for his job 3-1/2 hrs away. He works in construction and has a great job, and I'm in the health care field and I have a great job. We have been trying to find him a job closer to home, but no one is hiring right now. The weekends are great, and then once he goes back to the apartment, it's 4-5 day struggle to keep him happy, and this affects my work too. Never thought that this would be happening to me, because I have always been the optimist, and thought that is what I married. Every day is a struggle, and I love him very much. I never seem to know what to say to him to make him happy. Seems that I never can. Thought chatting about this can give me insight on how to talk to him and help him and me. Thanks, Becky
