YOu are so right that this is not acceptable. It's undersatndable that hewants to get ahead - but at what price? I have heard so many men in their 50's look at their grandchildren & suddenly realize what they missed with their own children growing up - when it's too late to fix it. The parent-child relationship may be irreparably damaged - and so may the marriage. A lonely spiuse is a vulnerable one. You may not intend to leave him or cheat on him now - but how many years of loneliness can you tolerate? He needs to realize that money & power are not everything. Years from now on his deathbed he will not be surrounded by grateful partners or clients thanking him for all the years of work. He should be surrounded by a loving wife & family - but will they care enough to still be there or will he be all alone? There is an old song that begins with The Cat's in the Cradle with a silver spoon & has a repeated chorus of WHen you coming home dad? I don't know when but we'll get together then... it continues until the son grows up & as dad is alone & aging he realizes he will not be seeing his grown son because he's not there for dad just like dad was never there for him. I think Jim Croce sang it but I'm not sure. It really sends a good message to all workaholic men. You need to tell your husband you need marriage /family counseling. IF he won't go, you go alone - he can afford it! You can't let this go on much longer or you will be living like this forever - and that's no way to live!

I would rather deal with a workaholic than a slacker, alcoholic, crack head, meth user, thief, womanizer, pedophile......Not trying to be funny, but I dont know why people complain about others working alot, it is a good thing. Makes the heart grow fonder. U can think of things you can do when U do spend time together.

Plan other things to do that might be interesting to the both of you.
Invite them in a way that's out of the ordinary. Like by sending them an invitation with the tickets enclosed with the time and date that the event is to take place, have everything planned therefore it would be hard for them to decline the offer.

suggest u try to appreciate what he is doing . instead of diverting his energy in doing things which u may not like more then what he is doing now .
suggest y dont u join him into works that he is doing now .
or instead u should try to convince him to start his own business and put all his energy in it where u can also share he work with him and be close to him always .

Examine what in your relationship is driving him/her to prefer work over being with you. Are you a whiner, complainer, always finding something negative in your relationship? Or are you positive in your attitudes?

Advise him/her to take a break and learn to relax. Invite him/her for a cuppa. He/She may have forgotten how to take a breather.

Tell him / her that it is fine if he / she chooses to run himself / herself ragged but you have no intention of doing so.
