[quote=Anonymous]Whether this is a time management issue or the nature of the work depends on his specialty and, to some extent, the individual partners or clients he works for. My husband is in biglaw (and I used to be too). He works long hours but they are flexible hours and hardly any travel. We still get in fights sometimes about him not pulling his weight but in general he makes a real effort to be an equal parent. But we have friends that have specialties like international tax that are always traveling. And some partners are total assholes to their associates and demand that they be available 24/7. No matter what the cause is though, you have to be willing to give him an ultimatum on this (assuming you're OK with him leaving for a lower-paying job). Tell him to find time for you or find another job, or you're out (or perhaps you want an open relationship instead). No use being in an exclusive relationship with someone who is basically absent.[/quote]
