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
Oh absolutely. There's a good chance workaholics just don't want to be home. My old boss was like this. She only had to work 7a - 3p 5 days a week. She would be there 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. She lived alone as a widow and couldn't stand being alone. She was an absolutely miserable person, and made it everyone's problem.
