[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean this in the nicest way...

When does he find time for you? It's as if his life revolves around his career...[/quote]

This very issue has been troubling for several years.  I haven't figured out what to do about it yet.[/quote]

I'm in the same boat, but my DH is not a lawyer and makes just around six figures. He is passionate about his career (his job is very cool and he is very good at it), but it has caused problems in our marriage. I work too, and we are parents, and marriage takes nurturing and time with each other and it is tough.

In my case he was around a bit more but we are discovering he has some emotional reasons he checks out and is so dedicated to work. It helps him not deal with real life. He can focus on this thing that makes him happy, makes him feel good and productive and valued. But it means he is not seeking that in me, his wife, and that's a problem.

I think a lot of men have this tendency. Women too of course, but women tend to be a bit more in touch with their emotions. I know not all are and not all men are like this, I'm just speaking in generalities as I connected to this post even though my DH is not a big earner or a law firm partner. [/quote]

Is he a journalist, by any chance?[/quote]
