[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thank you for this perspective:
“I have a similar life OP. All in all, as people have pointed out, these are small complaints and many people would trade their problems for yours.”

This comment articulates what I am driving at:
“It might not be surgery every day, but trust me there is always more work in academic medicine if you're looking for it ie. research, resident education, committees. The question is why does he value this additional often voluntary work over time with his family. It could be a Type A personality coupled with the constant need to prove himself. I can see how this would be hurtful. No advice on how to address it since it's probably a deeply embedded personality trait. Therapy?”

Thank you for this comment:
“It could be worse. You could have had the workaholic without the income or the sex.”

To answer a PP, yes, DH is an immigrant and the first in his family to be professionally successful.

I will not withhold sex and I do not want to pursue divorce. I want more family time with him, not more drama.

Thank you for the feedback. I will work on making the best of a very good situation. Cheers.
