I am tired of my wife coming home and bitching about her job. She complains so much about her job and how the customers are mean to her and that they should respect her. Now she’s not the most pleasant person to be with either. When I try to reason that not everyone knows that you are having a bad day or whatever… she starts getting mad at me, and says I should just hear her out. I understand that sometimes she just wants to let it out, but when it starts becoming a routine, I am not always in the mood to hear her ***** about her customers and her job. I also tell her that everyone has problems at work, just don’t bring them home. I work as a mid level manager and often have to deal with issues about people who report to me as well as my superiors, but instead of bitching about how my job ***** I’d rather talk about more pleasant things. I’ve even suggested to her to go find a new job or quit, if she hates it so much, but that makes her go off on me too. And I also know she’ll have the same complaints with another job too, because she has changed jobs.
How do you deal with this? Any one have similar experiences???
