[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he is working through issues related to his self-image, since all of the investment is there. If you have a solid relationship, do you think he would respond if you did the 180? Simply stop expecting things from him, do you think he would have a desire to spend more time, schedule date nights, etc.? Don't dangle on a thread for the possibility of someone that isn't willing to invest the same in you. It should be a mutually beneficial investment of time when you are with your spouse. Maybe marriage and family life is weighing more than he thought and work is an escape; maybe he is coming to terms with past childhood issues he had as a father or son, it is amazing what children will bring out of parents. You have 2 children, how long have you been married and outside of this do you generally get along? Still intimate? You have to look at the whole picture.

My partner is a workaholic, but he respects and always factors into his planning times for me, family, his health (that is actually a good thing that your husband is doing), and his work. Circumstances may not always balance equally but you can learn to optimize your time.[/quote]
