[quote=Anonymous]I get what you are saying.  The sex might be good, but you need a partner, and your kids need a dad.

1).  Sit him down and tell him that you don’t want the money as much as you want more of him in your life.  He might see most of his value as a surgeon and a provider and not realize that he adds more value to your life and to your family by being a man than he does by being a paycheck.

2).  Create some family rituals with specific days and times.  Like every Thursday you play a board game at 7pm before the kids go to bed.  Or go to church at a certain time every Sunday.  (There are usually services at college campuses that happen later in the evening if your husband isn’t home during the day.). Or have a pizza and movie night every Friday.  Make it something that he likes and make it clear that his presence is integral to the family activity.  Sometimes asking him to be home “more” is too vague, but asking him to be home “for this specific activity” will make it onto his schedule.
