[quote=Anonymous]I do work but I have had to cut down on my hours because he is unable to adjust his work schedule. I know he is busy but I feel like he has to make some time for family. I guess I am really mad because this issue has come up several times this week because we are on break and because we have started to talk about vacation plans for the summer.  Earlier this week I asked if he could work a few more hours on the weekend so we could take the kids away somewhere for a long weekend.  He got really angry and said he can't take any time off until November/December and I shouldn't ask.   Next I suggested we could meet him for lunch or breakfast one day this week. He was too busy which was fine.  I really try to be understanding but I guess I am struggling to understand why he can't take 5 minutes to say good night to kids when  we are away from home.

I understand work can be demanding but I don't think this lifestyle is sustainable for the long term. We don't go anywhere or do anything.  No date nights. Tried going out for coffee alone- did it three times before he started to complain that "it was one less hour" that he could bill.  This lifestyle sucks.[/quote]
