Is there anyone out there husband pick work over family?

Question

how do you feel and do you argue about this with your husband

Answer 1

understand, but he has to work to support the family. and his job makes him work overtime, he doesnt choose it, he is man enough to do it. if he chose it though i would have a talk with him about how you feel. try not to argue it always just makes it worse, try having a heart to heart. good luck.

Answer 2

Question! What would you do if your husband quit his job and insisted on staying home and attend to you.

I know.............. that's not what you meant. Do you actually believe that he would choose work over his family, or are you saying that his job dedication is so strong that even you can't break it? It's a thin line between the two, so look around you before you say such powerful things. Simply ask yourself........
What is his plan for his families future? What type of provider is he? You should be able to analyze things from here. You may find that your husband has a strong will to succeed and take his responsibilities very serious.

Something a lot of women wish they had.

Answer 3

my husband is right now at his work...it's almost two in the morning. don't worry! he's not cheating on me. i know where he works and i trust him dearly. he's really one of the lucky ones where he gets to do something he loves and actually get paid for it. however, my husband is one of those guys that believe that time should not be wasted and do something productive with it. so he's always at work. i joke around occasionally saying that if he were to have an affair, it would be with his job.

i did argue about it for the longest of time because i wanted to spend time with him. i wasn't trying to be needy, i just wanted to see my husband once in a while! but i grew to realize that he's working his butt off trying to support the family and make sure we will never struggle (so in a way, he's really picking his family first).

actually...he ended up solving the situation...i now work with him. so we're a husband and wife duo now!

Answer 4

Hey work is better than Golf. My husband works then head to the country club. At least at work he would be noticed and maybe get promoted for working so hard. That will benefit your family as well. But he should have some kind of balance with his work and family.

Answer 5

Well, let me just start by saying, it happens way to often in mine. I hate it and he knows it, however he tells me he was not put here on this earth to be just an average joe..(sorry, if you are a joe). He has chosen his career over his family for 5 yrs now, and it is a constant battle, I have brought this to his attention several times, and he just blows me off, as with everything else, however he kind of has taken it a bit too far, he switched careers and they are now relocating us to a new state, hmmmm.. I do not want to go there.. He has already told me he can see his life with or without me??? Sounds great, right?! Yeah, I have told him certain things will and must change, for if they do not I am gone.. He needs to be a husband, and a daddy. Not someone who shares a house with us.. or treat us as a hotel..

Answer 6

My hubby is all about his work too and it drives me crazy. Work isnt everything. I know it takes money to live but darnit, family should always comes first. Things can happen with family that you cant go back and change, its over and gone. A job is there everyday and not much changes you know, but family life does, that is if you have kids. Kids grow so fast and if ou blink you might miss them growing up and I know if work comes first they will for sure miss this.

Answer 7

I have been married for 24 years to an absolute workaholic! When we were newly weds I hated it, and sometimes I felt unloved,...even rejected. However, as I matured I realized it was just who he was and as I began to accept him for who he was, our marraige got better because we were not bickering all the time.

I reminded myself that he was not cheating on me and he was always there for me when I "really" needed him. Now, we are reaping the benefits of his years of hard work. By that I mean, we are living a comfortable life that many of our peers are not able to.

Answer 8

I get upset & lonely when my fiance has to work a lot of overtime and leaves me with the 3 kids but I have to realize he's working so we can have a better life. It would be different if he left us alone to go party or something. I needed to learn to appreciate him for all he does for us.

Answer 9

(his day off) he fell asleep during delivery, in the delivery room for our third. (worked a double shift the day before) then he had an affair with a girl (child) that he worked with. (cus they had more in common) hello... i've had alot of surgeries, and medical problems via taxi because i wasn't allowed to drive home, and he was working.

Answer 10

for some men work and friends will always come before family. That's typical of them and sad for the ladies. It really does not make sense for people to aruge about it cos u know that will make no difference.
