The Husband and Work

Probably the most frustrating thing regarding the issue with my mother-in-law is that I believe if my husband were actually home more, I could probably deal better with having the mother-in-law around.

You see, I believe my husband truly has a work addiction.  I feel as though he has abandoned me.  I know he loves me dearly.  I know he is doing what he feels must be done to provide for his family.  And yet he is rarely home.  

Where do you draw the line?  When does it become a problem?  

I am not so sure my husband believes there is an addiction aspect.  He still believes he can control it.  Anyone who knows and loves a "holic" also knows that's a HUGE sign right there.  

When your husband works 17-hour days and doesn't even call to let you know he will be late, how would you feel?  What about when he says he is wrapping up and will be home in 20 minutes and he walks through the door four hours later?  Or he regularly goes in on his days off and works all day long.

This is not about bashing my husband.  I love him more than anything.  And I want him back in my life.  

Please pray we make it through this.
