My husband works all the time, what should I do?

Answer 1

if hes working all the time cuz he needs to earn money for the family then i say let him be and support him the best you can...but if hes working all the time just to be away from you, i think you need to sit down and talk with him.

Answer 2

You are going to get a bunch of answers singing the praises of workaholism because society is impressed by someone who devotes themselves entirely to their job. They think it's noble. Even if it means alienating their wife and children. It's all about the money! Apparently a lot of people marry for money, and/or think that wives have zero earning potential. It's a very 1950s mentality and it saddens me that it's still so prevalent.

Regardless of what most people think, a husband's first priority should be to his WIFE, not work. Marriage should be a higher priority than work, no question about it, and it's not going to work out if a spouse has priorities that are above family. In order to have any sort of relationship, you need to invest time into it.

If he's busy short term, try and find something to do until work slows down for him. However, if it's all the time, year after year, and he's not making time for you, things need to change. It's not fair for a spouse to promise to meet your needs and then bail on you. Tell him that you want to spend more time together, that you miss him and see what he says. If he's unwilling then therapy might be a good route to try.
Good luck.

Answer 3

my husband is the same to be honest its killed our marriage and although i do apresiate how hard he works and i know its tiring for him, i still feel that a marriage doesnt just look after its self and i think if you feel lonely and frustrated as i always do try and tell him. if he doesnt understand like my husband then i guess changes wil have to be made some how. or if you are very much still in a good marriage but just dont see him that often i guess try to do other things maybe take up some kind of a hobby like dance clases or somthing. i know its cliche lol but if it wasnt for me having good friends to share some of my time with id really lose it. so hope it works out for you.

Answer 4

Just thank him for it! why you dont think his at work? My husband also works alot, to much... I do get mad but what can I do if I spend his money =0)

I have to understand him he gets really busy specialy around this time for the holidays I guess I get angry because I miss him and his not here with me. Tell your hubby how you feel I'm sure he will do something about it! Mine does...

Answer 5

Be thankful you have a husband that works.

Answer 6

You're lucky he is hard-working. I don't see anything wrong with that especially,if he does it for your own family. Support him and just take good care of his health. Make sure when he comes home, to give him healthy food, and probably a massage to ease the stress he got from work. Make "his coming home" always a very warm experience so he will always be looking forward to get home and see you. One more thing,make yourself extra beautiful and sexy. Good luck!

Answer 7

definitely be grateful. there are a lot of ppl out there that want everything on a silver platter with minimal effort. tell him you wish he'd spend more time with you, and if that's difficult due to finances, try to help with the burden. are you working? maybe if you were he could afford to take some time off.

Answer 8

have lots of friends and keep busy.

Don't nag, he might not come home. (:-)

My husband works late too...so my schedule is a bit off. Dinner starts at 9:00PM in my house

Answer 9

What do you mean by your husband works all the time and what should you do, i don't know exactly what you mean by this can you explain farther.

Answer 10

If you don't work and he's supporting you, you basically need to bow down and kiss his feet. If you both work and he just doesn't spend any time with you, you need to tell him. If he doesn't listen to your request, you officially have marriage problems.
