lol no way!
Tell him you want a holiday and if he doesn't want to go tell him you'll go with his money! lol
Tell him you want to spend more time with him, if you work all your life n don't have fun with the money you earn, then what are you working for?
Good luck with it mate!x

no way! .. i'm only a teenager so i dont have a husband but my dad was like this a couple of years ago
he wouldnt take a summer holiday with the family and my mother bascially told him to take the two weeks or she would go herself and take us three kids (she lied of course, she couldnt do that to him) but it gave him the wakeup call he needed. Now he spends every sunday with us and two weeks off at christmas and summer. he also comes home at a reasonable time too.
you should explain to your husband that although you understand that hes doing it for your future, he needs to think about the present and the amount of time he spends alone with you and should make the most of this time.
hope i havent rambled too much , good luck <3

Why he gets married in the first place? Well, guys at certain stage would always put career beyond anything. Its everything to them. Of course, they say they are working very hard for the family, but in my opinion, its for themselves. Anyway, you could tell him how you feel. Say the kids miss him alot n hope to see more of him beside just Christmas. Try to know what he is doing n get involve in his work. You never know, he might be having 'good' time with the ladies out there.

It would depend if it was a long term or short term thing. If it is how it is going to be for ever I would sit down and have a chat about how the kids are gonna have a naff future if they never see him now!

alot of men who run their own business feel they need to be there all the time to ensure it will work properly. i understand your frustration tho, but in the end you'll either leave him or he will make himself ill from over work. everyone needs a holiday. sit down as a family and discuss it. hearing from his children that they want to see him more might jolt him. i can see where he's coming from but he's blinkered and thinkin on a one way street. gently explain to him that your his wife and you want to feel like his wife and not someone he just climbs into bed with at the end of the day. tell him he needs to reach a compromise or the marriage will be in trouble. it already sounds like your reaching the end of your tether.

Well, if he has no option, and you need the money to survive, you should support him because in time things will improve.
But if you can manage with less money and the kids are suffering from not seeing their Dad, it does seem rather selfish, and you should talk about it as a family.

A least he has a job and is willing to provide for you, but you need to tell him how you feel after all he is your husband, maybe you could go and work wiyh him since its his own buisness.
