Oh dear! we have same problem about our husband but I would rather or we my kids rather want him to stay in his office than staying to us for whole day cause im telling you he will be uncomfortable of having nothing to do in our house, he sees everything are mistakes and brings us in argument. If we go out for outing or some vacation, I should keep my eyes to him almost of the time especially to my kids cause hes being careless to our kids almost if hes in phone or he needs to talk to somebody im telling you my kids will be hurt. I dont even know too what to do for this kind of husband we had I just hope you luck !!!

There are always two sides to a story. You are hubby is workaholic, which means he is a responsible person for his work. It is not easy for you to make him understand in one day, you have to work harder and use different methods to 'convince' him. 1) Communication. Find the right time to talk to him and tell him how you feel. Or send him a greeting card, meanwhile reminding him not to work too hard. 2) Arrange going out for a meal with friends to distract his attention on his work. Gradually he will enjoy going out for fun occasionally. 3) Sometimes you have to create a romantic atmospher only for two of you to rebuild the time you used to date and have; to make him remember you are his half. You also need attention.
