[quote=Anonymous]I am in a similar boat with a workaholic DH that travels and 3 young kids. How old are your kids OP?  I think that it may just be the season of life that you are in with 3 kids. Having kids is hard work, it strains your marriage (esp when the wife stays at home IMO bc you're carrying much of the burden managing the household), and there is just not a lot of time for the two of you.  I often feel like I am competing with DH's cell phone and emails/texts, and it sucks.  Is your DH at the point in his career where he still needs to put in a lot of hours to get to where he wants to be or has he been this way since you guys got married?  Can you set aside 1 hour (or 30 min even) each night to put the phones away and just hang out?

I have at times, just demanded that DH plug his phone in the charger and drink a glass of wine with me on the couch.  So, although it doesn't feel good to demand the time & attention, maybe it's something that will become a habit.

Can you go out with a girlfriend or have someone over for drinks once a week?  I think the feeling of lack of connection can contribute to unhappiness as well. It doesn't fill the gap of DH's attention, but may help pass these tough months/years where life is just a grind.

Sorry OP I don't have a ton of advice, but I am definitely here to commiserate.  [/quote]
