Hi Nikki -
I'm so sorry to hear things are going like they are. I've dealt with the work and husband things, and they can so often be tough - and I know a bit about what you're going through! Your husband shouldn't be taking it out on you - it's understandable that he's disappointed, but it's not your fault.
What kind of rights do you have about your work situation? What is your HR department like?
Don't give up, hon. This is a good place to vent, and I'll keep checking in on you, for what it's worth.
best,
mary (not crying)
p.s. I think it's amazing you're at work.

I don't even get paid overtime or anything for these extra days worked...
