My husband he works all the time from 6:00p.m. to 6:00a.m. and my mother will have my kids into i find a job and get things going for my self and my kids and even on days he has off he might still have to go in. Now there would be some problem going on at his work so he has to go to the job and it is like every time i turn around he has to be at the job or it's phone calls about the job and somtimes he might have to go. Then tell me what do you think about all this please? Reply to this Question Share |

I liked AskEve's advice about randomly dropping by. That's not too snoop like, you're not invading his privacy, you're just dropping by and saying hello. That's innocent.
There is such a thing as a 'workaholic' - I've dated them before. Totally absorbed in their work, and it can be hard to form a satisfying relationship with them because you'll always feel like 2nd best to his work. Men (or women) like this, their work is their number one priority.
You need to tell him that you're feeling left out. Sometimes for people like this, even though it sounds bad, sometimes you need to tell them to schedule you in. Make a special time just for the two of you, every week. Just 'you' time. Tell him that you're feeling second to his work and you're a little neglected. If he really loves you, he'll make the effort needed to make you feel more involved.
Good luck, sweetness,

Your husband may genuinely be a hard worker. On the other hand he may be cheating on you. Follow him to work one day when he's called in unexpectedly and see where he goes. If you can't do that then call his work and ask to speak to him, you should be able to do that no problem and if he's there great! It's when they say "sorry he's not in today" that you start to worry!
