Most of the time, our relationship is great. We've been living together for 6 months and most everything is going really well. The problem is that 3-5 nights a week my BF comes home from work in an absolutely horrible mood. (He hates his job and is actively applying to work for other companies but is stuck where he is for the moment.)

So far, I try to help by always making him dinner, giving him hugs, and sometimes trying to get him to talk about work. (He says talking about his problems makes things worse, so I've stopped doing this.)

A typical night goes like this- he comes home at about 8pm after work and I'm finishing up dinner or eating mine in front of netflix. He sometimes joins me to eat and sometimes heads to the gym. Sometimes I think he almost resents me for eating my dinner leisurely in front of a tv show when he worked a longer day than me and still needs to go to the gym.

Any ideas? Sometimes I think maybe I should try to run errands or schedule my own workouts for the after-work time of the day so he can just come home and chill out by himself?

Any ideas on other things I can do? The moods are directly related to his current job. He is a happy and wonderful man to be around on the weekend and on days when work goes well.
