I once knew a woman about my age whose late husband  worked the night shift and did so by choice.

Now, I can understand that some body has to work the night shift, but, if you have seniority and still choose to works nights, maybe something is wrong.  Maybe he is working nights to avoid his wife.

Depending on the night shift schedule, he could avoid all contact with his wife during the week.and only have to deal with her on a limited basis on the weekends.  After all, when she is home, he would either be at work or sleeping, so there would be very little exposure to her. Bottom line, it sounds like they didn’t get along for whatever reason.

So, if you should encounter a woman whose husband worked nights by choice, warning bells should go off in your head.

Caveat Emptor.
