[quote=Anonymous]I have a very similar situation. 
And yes, I have pretty much given up trying to cajole him. 
It is totally baffling to me how he can come home from 5 nights of work travel and still not want to do something with the kids. He does things that he likes with them - select specific activities, fairly rare. But they look forward to them, and they certainly don’t feel like he’ doesn’t love them. But he is definitely a workaholic - a very high earner but obsessed with work. Even on vacation he works much of the day. He also prioritizes his own hobbies - about 6 -& hours a week doing that, and he works out every day.

I have outsourced everything (Ckeaning, laundry, cooking, lawn, errands, some driving) and I went part time at my job. I’m a lawyer - I think I can go full time pretty easily if I need to make that change.

Divorce isn’t really on the table. I just can’t do that to the kids.  And I don’t want to split time. We do date nights and have fun nights with friends. It’s not a great marriage but we are kind of just muddling through. 
But I quite literally can’t ask him to do anything. It totally sucks.  I have used task rabbit to hang framed photos. (Yes I know I can do this myself but I am stretched very thin.) [/quote]
