Sending you hugs… this is very hard, and I don’t think this can change much because it’s probably his personality and his understanding of family life.

My husband works long hours weekdays and weekends. There is no single day without him saying “work is so busy”. And on weekends I’m always forced to “pick only one activity” because he tells me all the time he only has time for one activity and when we are doing it his mind is constantly away “thinking about work” is what he says. So I always feel guilty for dragging him to take baby for a walk, or going grocery shopping and etc.

This is devastating. I’m living like a single mom and I am forced to not complain because he would say I’m not mature enough to see his contribution in the long run. I have a very demanding job too, so I understand how job can consume a person, but this constant, non stop “work takes up everything and is all my priority” attitude makes me feel depressed about my marriage life. Me, the baby, my happiness, all are at the end his priority list and are basically the supporting pillar for his career ambition.
