How do you cope with being bottom of the pile?
My DH isn't hugely ambitious he just happens to have a lot of responsibility. But it's taken over our lives. He typically works most evenings and in pretty resentful.
The house is neglected because there are things I don't have time or inclination to do like DIY etc.
I feel neglected and unloved at times. Three months ago I talked to him about it and he promised things would get better but they haven't.
The children get plenty of attention when he's around but there's not always a lot left for us as a couple.
He cannot reduce his hours and carry on in the same job. He's too fearful of walking into a similarly draining role to leave the company. Catch 22 :(
I need coping mechanisms fast! Before I get any more miserable! I can't be the only one,
Had anyone managed to turn around a workaholic other half?!
