[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you do anything for your spouse during busy times/after a big project is done (or does your busy spouse)?  I am married to a law firm partner.  He has been crushed with work lately, and I give him a lot of grace during these times.  But when does it end?  When he has a free moment, he turns on baseball or soccer. I’m working, managing our house and kids and picking up all the slack and I feel like he can find 10 minutes to ask me how I’m doing, what’s something I’m excited about, etc.  He thinks we are fine but I am incredibly lonely.  Im just wondering how other couples with busy/demanding jobs find a way to connect with their spouse. [/quote]

This is why most biglaw partners wind up divorced.  The job takes all your energy, and you have nothing left for the people in your life.  If you have not already, you need to have "the talk" with your DH and tell him how you feel.  Maybe he will commit to making time for your family and your relationship and maybe he won't.  But, he definitely will not do it if you don't spell it out for him.  Do it sooner rather than latter, before the wall of resentment gets too high.[/quote]

Excellent advice -- former big law partner who wishes spouse had done this. [/quote]

Another BigLaw partner and this is really important. We are teetering on divorce as well. I thought I was being very supportive and she sees it otherwise. I would advise you to be specific in your requests[/quote]
