I know money is tight, and the overtime is nice, but he really doesnt spend much time with me and the boys anymore, he works both day's on the weekends, and sleeps a lot.. I feel hurt, I feel like he doesnt enjoy spending time with us, I try to tell him, but he brushes it off, and sais theres no problem.. how can I get him to understand that it bothers me? I would rather spend time with him, and see him spend time with the kids, than him make extra money, I don't think money is as important as Love, what do you think?

Us men feel that we are the family's provider. If we work hard, the family is taken care of, but the wives complains that we don't spend time with them. If we spend time with them, they get upset and worry about the finances.
I am not saying that is what you do, but that is what has been programmed into us.
Also, some men find going to work much easier than handling things around the house.
Maybe try to make his home time more special (lots of bedroom activities), and you will find him more willing to spend more time with the family.
One last thought. I find (my wife included) that most women feel that they are so busy that when they go to bed, the last thing they want is a man asking for more of her energy.

he needs a holiday. BADLY. it will make him realise how much he won't want to go back to work and maybe stop him working so much. think of it as an early honeymoon... btw congratulations!
