You need to sit down and talk to your husband and tell him how you feel. Marriage is about compromise on both parts. Your husband needs to find a balance between his job and you. Good luck.

Jobs do that. people spend at least 8 hours a day at work.
considering that the average bed time for an adult (i'm guessing) is about 11:30 (when "Sopranos" gets over)
and most people get home from work about 6 - 6:30 and wake up and leave for work in the same hour usually,
you're looking at about 6 hours of good time away from work with a loved one on a week night.
He's older than you. How old are you? Dude needs to make a paycheck so he can keep a home etc, etc...
More details would help with answering this question

If there is a big age difference, chances are your interests are different. For example, if a young woman dates or marries a much older man, maybe she will feel like going out or going to a club while he prefers to stay at home and watch TV. That is why it's important to consider these kind of differences when you are dating someone...because once you're married you have to cope with this kind of thing.
Look at the bright side- He's out there working, not fooling around. Try talking to him and try to see what you can negotiate so you can both be happy. Good luck!

More than likely. It's part of life sweetie. My husband works alot of hours too. Just find some kind of hobby or something else that interests you to do while he's working. Or join some kind of club or organization or volunteer somewhere. It isn't up to him to keep you entertained. Find your own way to be happy with yourself. You are the only one who can make you happy. It isn't his job to make you happy...it's your job to make you happy.

Was he that way when you were dating? If the answer is yes, then you chose to live this way, and you need to learn to be happy with your choice. If not, then you need to speak with your husband and talk about the long hours, and how much you miss him when he is not there,

You two need to discuss the issue and see if the situation can be revised so that it is suitable for you both. If he won't budge, then you have to decide if you are willing to live with that situation indefinitely.

There's something that keeps a marriage healthy.....it's called communication.
Tell him what your concerns are and what you would like to see change.....then LISTEN to what he says.
Next step.....compromise.

You need to grow up and realize it takes money to support you!
