When You Feel Like Your Spouse Doesn’t Want You Around

This isn’t just a problem for stay-at-home parents.  Maybe you have long working hours and your spouse tries to meet you for a lunch date every now and then.  Or, maybe your wife tries to surprise you at the office with some coffee and donuts in the morning.  You love seeing your spouse, but you don’t necessarily like her coming to the office.  You tell yourself you need to keep “work at work and home at home”, and so, you see your wife’s visit as nothing more than an interruption.  And, she feels it.  You flash her a frustrated smile whenever she pops in, and you reluctantly give her ten minutes of your time.  You feel like you’ve “done your spousal duty,” and she should be pleased.  You don’t want to appear unprofessional to your coworkers, after all.  You’ve worked hard to get where you are professionally, and you can’t let up.  And, you assume that she understands your reasons for having limited time with her–or at least you feel like she “should.”
