[quote=Anonymous]OP, have you talked to him about what he plans to do?  What he envisions his future looking like?  It doesn't sound like it.  Growing up, I never had a clue how many hours my dad worked.  He was home for family dinners every night.  He coached my brother's baseball team until high school and then volunteered for the league.  We had a summer home on the beach and he carved out time every day to play with us in the water. He went on vacations with us as a family and was totally engaged.  I saw him go on dates with my mom and dance with her sing to her (terribly) in the kitchen.  I had no idea he worked when we went to bed. Or he worked early in the mornings.   It only became clear to me when I was an older teen and started putting two and two together when I realized our financial situation and knew that he must have worked his butt off to get where he was but I just never realized it.

So you need to talk with him and ask him what HE sees his future being.  Is he going to step down at work?  Ramp up?  Figure out how to balance it?  Then you need to ask yourself what you envision.  All your answers center around yourself. Nowhere did you answer how you envisioned your husband and father of your children to be involved.  [/quote]
