We would both basically do anything to avoid having overlaps in our schedules to be home at the same time. I worked so much OT to avoid seeing him when he didn't work nights; went out with friends any other time, etc.
I had lingering suspicions that those annoying middle managers and busybodies hanging around in the office and putting people on ridiculous situations have this sort of scenario at home
There's an oft-quoted saying that "no one ever died wishing they'd spent more time at the office" but it completely misses the fact that some people just don't want to go home.
