[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.  [b]Im just wondering how other couples with busy/demanding jobs find a way to connect with their spouse.[/b] [/quote]

So to be clear, your question is not about how can you get him to help you with the house and kids and other things you're doing, but how can you get him to connect with you? Because the answer is different depending on the question.

If you want to spend time with him, then schedule something for you to do. It could be as simple as watching Netflix together (literal Netflix and chill) or going to dinner (or even eating dinner at home after the kids have gone to bed, depending on how old your kids are).

Also, talk to him. Tell him you feel lonely. Tell him you understand he has needs, but so do you. See if you can find a way that you can both do something relaxing, enjoyable, and that reconnects you. [/quote]
