I have been married for twenty two years and in order for me to make very good money I became a manager. My hours were long. Sometimes I would only come home to eat and sleep. It was very rough on us both. We have children and we both wanted stay at home Mom. We both knew it was for the children and my long working hours was to make sure we had the money to do so.
At times my wife said that I made work first and her last. I would get upset because I was working so hard to make sure she didnt have to. We would get mad at each other. While a work one day she called with a big emergency and needed help as fast as possible. I was there faster than she thought possible. We had another emergency where she could not get to our kids when they would get home for school. She was completely stressed. I said I would take care of it. I was at home waiting for the children and all taken care of. This happened many times over the years. Each time I found away to be there for her and our children.
One day my wife complained I worked to much. This time she said she didnt want me to get sick and die from working so hard. Nothing about me not being there to help.
I still feel somewhat guilty about how much I had to work and how much I most likely missed. But our children had their Mom home there for them. In the long run it was well worth it.
Our children now mostly young adults talk about how happy they were growing up. Why? Their answer because Mom was home and Dad was only a phone call away.

Hi, If this is happening to you I really feel for you. My husband and I have struggled ourselves with this same problem. He is a workaholic! At first I loved his determination and drive. Then after a few years I started to feel like he put me on the back burner and forgot. He forgot that marriage takes both! It has been a struggle, and he has really struggled trying to create a balance. But as long as the person is willing to make things work out and do their share in a relationship (remembering that there is a time and place for everything including your relationship), then I think everything will work out great. Good Luck to you!!

I have a friend , she sits in her mansion, drives her new car, flashes her diamonds, gets to stay home with her kids, and all she does is whine about how her husband works all the time! I'm a single mom that never got a dime of child support from my ex husband, I've had to work two jobs and I never got to spend anytime with my kid.....why don't you try being grateful that he loves his career and not another woman! Try cooking for him and just being there...try thinking of someone else besides yourself....career means WORK!
