[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No need for the "didn't you know this before you married him" comments.  I was naive to believe the promises he made about just doing this until X point in time (we had a certain amount of money, what had a kid, whatever) so here we are

Also no need for the "you wouldn't want to give up the lifestyle, you just want to complain" comments - I make $200k+  with reasonable hours, we both have the same advanced degree, we could have a lovely / more than necessary lifestyle on 2 salaries like mine

I've read up some on the topic and how workaholics act like addicts resonates with me.  I don't want to divorce because I don't think my kids would be better off (I can provide them with stability and a happy home life now, they wouldn't have that shuttling between 2 houses and a rotating cast of people putting them to bed at his house) and I want to enjoy the time we do have together vs holding a lot of resentment.

Any and all tips appreciated.  [/quote]

Create your own life for you and the kids without him. This means you emotionally detach from him/emotionally divorce, but that's one way. And I'd start setting myself up for an eventual divorce when the kids are older. [/quote]
