Q. Hi Jordan,

I've been dealing with some new circumstances as a newlywed, and I was wondering if you could help. My husband and I have exact opposite work schedules. I am alone at home a majority of the time and we often go days without seeing each other in a state of consciousness, and I find myself getting lonelier and lonelier. I'm a very social person, I have a really fulfilling job, we have a dog, and I work out all the time, but it's a totally new type of experience when the house feels so...alone.

Spending time with him is obviously a huge priority for me, but it feels like my life is constantly dictated by his schedule, from when I get to see him to trying to schedule with my friends to when I get to eat meals to how much sleep I get. I'm really struggling with how much more this affects me than him, and it feels really unbalanced and, honestly, unfair.
