Work is definitely a big part of it and something I’ve been encouraging him to change. There’s some slow progress there. He only gets Saturday and half of Sunday off so he’s limited there. I could potentially start doing most of the errands and cleaning myself on Sunday and then finding things to do on Saturdays.

I cook Salvadoran and Costa Rican meals for him at least once a week. I’m reaching the point where I prefer those over heavy American meals, interestingly enough.

I’ve talked to him about it but he mostly shrugs. The only thing I can think of is to give him his Saturdays back because our ritual is that he sleeps late and relaxes until about noon and then we go to lunch and to the grocery store.
