Changes at Work - could be worse but I keep crying!

[Vela]

Aww I"m sorry to hear things are tough right now. I will send good thoughts your way so that hopefully everything will work out for your best good in the end. I hope you are able to enjoy work, or find a new job you like better, and that you are able to work things out with Andy. Don't despair, it will all be okay even if it's sometimes hard. Wishing you the best.

Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry to hear these things. Change is so very hard, but adding problems at home just compounds it! I agree that working on your relationship with Andy needs to take priority right now. Exactly "how" you are going to work that out, I wish I had an answer / solution for you! Please try to remember that the first year(s) of marriage are the very HARDEST! You learn so many things about eachother that seemed non-existant beforehand! You two WILL get through these rough patches and come out stronger and closer at the end of them! If you want to talk / vent / share, I am only a PM away!

Hugs,
Kim

Aw I am so sorry about what's going on. I would never ever be able to put up with a 5pm to 1 am shift, so if you do, then I really admire you. That's a really long shift and a very inconvenient one too. I will definately keep you in my prayers that your work will get better and also that you and your husband will be able to patch things up together

I am so sorry about that. I worked swing shift before kids and loved it but I hate to see you and Andy have any stress put on your lovely new marriage. You guys are so cute together and it has always seemed like your a perfect match.

((((hugs)))) I am so sorry you are going through stress at work. Work itself is usually stressful enough without adding to it. I hope that you find a solution. I'm glad that you and Andy are seeing a counselor for your problems, I have seen one before and it really helped. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. More ((((hugs))))

When Paul and I were first married, we often worked opposite shifts, but it was worth sticking it out. You will be in our prayers, okay?

Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone. It's comforting.

Gosh Kim, i'm so sorry! That sounds like a horrible shift, but you never know, maybe it won't be too bad. Trust that everything's in Divine Order. As for counseling...perhaps you can find a time that will still work for both of you. It's a good thing. (((hugs))), you'll be in my prayers!

That's my take on it too. I would have a very difficult time adjusting my biological clock to this kind of a shift and would suspect it would make it difficult to getting a good restful sleep. That said, some people might actually enjoy it. Nothing wrong with going with the flow and seeing how it works out for you. On you and Andy having different shifts, that could create a stressor on your relationship, but I do believe your love will help get you through whatever obstacles are encountered. In the end, working through a difficult situation can make your relationship even stronger. Stay focused on what is really important at both work and home. Hugs to you. I hope that this will be something that you can look back on and find that it directed you to an even better place in life.

Give it some time and I'm sure things will begin to look up soon. The first part of the change is always the hardest. You are a newlywed woman and now a new shift. It could be the beginning of something GREAT for you..
