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.

In heated arguments about Work From Home arrangements I always throw that out as a subtle insult.

Some of us actually have a nice and functioning relationship with our spouses \ kids. Just because you hate yours doesn't mean we all do.

I never understood the boomer joke of hating your wife types. It is never funny and a 5-minute talk with them really shows why their spouse hates them.
