history: My husband works long hours. I hate being by myself specially at night. My husband works late at night and sometimes I'm stuck by myself. Why he is working late? He owns his own business working on cars. If something goes wrong_comma_ he is forced to stay to fix the issue.
current: I understand. Could you plan to do something when he is late (going out with friends)?
next: That's a good idea! Maybe I can have a boardgame night or something!
