There isn't much you can do. In all honesty you can't quit, because like it or not, the money you bring in supports the family. Your wife may not like it, but she needs to understand that you need to work. It may sound mean, but: She knew what this was.
However, just because you have to work doesn't mean there isn't anything you can do to to help the situation. I would dedicate at least one night of the week to her, and tell your work you can't do anything. Any boss or employer will understand. On these nights you can take her out to dinner and movie, or even stay at home and relax.
If children are in the picture, get a babysitter and go out! Think of it as dating again. Many times I'd be willing to wager, she just wants to spend some time with you, and have you show that you love her.
Just because you have to work doesn't mean you can't show your love and affection for your wife. Sometimes, you just ave to be a bit creative. =)

If you had this job when you married then she should have known how much work was involved and a partner cant change the other after marriage.If this job was just recently taken then you both should have sat down and had a talk about it.Now a days one cant just up and quit there job in todays world as theres not a job that pays good money and has great benefits as you may already have.Sounds there needs to be some good communication in your marriage.

It depends on the future you want... Do you see this changing anytime soon?... We all want a happy and sort of normal life style and if you don't see this happening you have to consider changes that will make both you and your wife happy... and give you both time together that is needed in a good relationship... It's not easy switching directions, but sometimes you have to... like maybe finding another job... look far into the future as you can... plan for it... plan for your happiness...

Hey most of guys had same problem
After marriage Gents and ladies are united but separated with society.,
But the phone calls have some touch with others., But for ladies it was too desperate and being lonely makes stress and makes psychological affects., So give some activities to do., Like joining in clubs, Health clubs, or give some small business, either give some Job at near schools.,
Of course it will be tougher to you but gr8 stress buster for your beloving wife.
Cheers and Bye

It looks like you have been sacrificing the important things in your life.A job or employment is always going to be there for you, but ask yourself this question "is your wife going to be " as i surely wouldn't be. Your wife has needs just like every other person.Everybody needs companionship and if she feels she is being neglected she may look for another who will be there for her. You however can always quit your job or ask the company in which you work for, for another position that does not require constant commuting.

Find another job, If your wife is that important to you. Have you ever heard of lonely in love? Been there. My husband was working away from home and I felt like it was tearing us apart. I felt we would no longer need each other anymore. I felt lonely and sad. I explained my self to him and he made changes in his career. We are still together and happy in love. Money isn't everything but family is.

Has it always been this way? Its hard for the wives sometimes b/c when your gone, everything falls on us and its alot on one person. Try to take her out on a date when you get home. Just you and her. Make it extra special. Tell her how great she looks and how you appreciate her. If you really show her this attention, I'm sure she'll make you happy in return. Good luck!!

CHANGE JOBS!!! ISNT YOUR LIFE MORE IMPORTANT???
IF YOU HAVE WIFE AND KIDS YOU SHOULD WANT TO BE HOME WITH THEM.
SO, ITS TIME TO CHANGE JOBS AND LOOK FOR ONE THAT WILL GIVE YOU MORE TIME TO BE WITH FAMILY AND YOUR WIFE.
