[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, much as the rest of the posters have stated, you should try to get your husband into couples counseling. Is he golfing as a way to escape from your home life? You said yourself that things aren't easy. My DH has a tendency to escape/disengage and I have to call him on it when he is doing so because he doesn't even realize. It well could be easier for him to escape by holding than deal with the reality of your children's needs. Your unhappiness with him over his disappearing act probably helps snowball...you know, you get mad (understandably!) because he is golfing all the time. So you take out your anger verbally on him. He gets frustrated because you are mad at him and taking your anger out on him, so he golfs more. So you get more mad. It's easy for communication to easily go down the tubes through a vicious cycle such as this. Therapy can help you guys communicate better and ultimately get to the root of why he seems to need to golf all of the time. Why he needs to escape and can't deal with life.

All of the posters telling you to divorce though, I would hesitate to move forward on that front. I have several friends who have divorced and got screwed in the process. There is a chance that you can go from relying on his income (but not him) to having neither he or his income to rely on. [/quote]
