[quote=Anonymous]As a man, you need to realize that the tone of most answers here are going to skew toward your DW's POV. More help around the house, showing more commitment to family, etc. As an older DW, I actually get that a breadwinner who is motivated IS showing a commitment to the family - the long term financial needs of the family. But that is not something that would have registered with me as a new FTM who was knee deep in young kid stuff. For a person at your stage in your career, your work hours and responsibilities are very reasonable. But if your DW is not engaged in the full-time working world, she might not understand that. I think you should have a conversation. Tell her that you will strive to help out more when you are there (and you should). However, if you and her want to maintain the financial lifestyle that you have and she is not willing to work full time, your hours will be what they are. [/quote]
