I am a teacher also, married to a chef.<br />Talia, Santa Rosa CALiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15297192604943000407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-24347196568757234602009-05-20T14:48:06.911-05:002009-05-20T14:48:06.911-05:00I agree with everyone who posted. It's really hard being with a chef sometimes. Mine had to work on Sunday and I moped around the house all day. He ended up taking the night off -- he knew I was upset about it because Sunday is our day together. <br /><br />There's not always good rationalization for our feelings. It's OK to let yourself feel badly sometimes, as long as it doesn't take over. And it's not too bad of a thing -- if you didn't really love him, you wouldn't miss him so much.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13123349832169624388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-17555691221833969322009-05-19T22:55:13.853-05:002009-05-19T22:55:13.853-05:00Oh i would SO be lying to you if I didn't say I've gotten so mad at times I want to explode. While I appreciate his passion for his work I have often said it is the other "woman" in our marriage. I think it is so natural and honest and legit that you get angry, sad, lonely, frustrated...it's why we all have each other. They are a unique breed those darn cooks, love them but dang...why couldn't they have become accountants and worked 9-5 some days? <br /><br />hang in there - let loose here when you need to....and know you are NOT alone.<br /><br />I think the secret is to have a strong support system, and good out sourcing of things you need done that he handles so that when you are together it is quality time!leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08583569031077291028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-44984624235849650212009-05-19T20:55:32.337-05:002009-05-19T20:55:32.337-05:00I can sympathize with your feelings. My chef and I have a relationship via the telephone throughout the week, since we are on opposite work schedules. You are not alone; I have found myself picking a fight for no good reason right before he is leaving for work on Saturdays. Then I feel guilty about how selfish I had been. I have found that on Saturdays when I have plenty to do I do not mind it that much he leaves it is the days that I am bored and no one is around that are the hardest. <br /><br />Suzie<br />Wash DCsuzkenneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14744392854170565289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-73680182429114939222009-05-18T07:47:00.000-05:002009-05-18T07:47:00.000-05:00I feel for you, Hillary. I don't get mad when it's time for my chef to leave on Saturdays (and Sundays), I just get sad, and perhaps a little clingy. And I'm with you, I don't want to leave before he does, because that takes away from the small amount of precious time I see my chef each week.<br /><br />can't say anything to help, but I know what you're going through.<br /><br />-Erin<br />DCW_Chapel HillGo Erin Gohttp://goxerinxgo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
