A female age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I feel really depressed in my marriage. I think my husband likes his job more than anything. He does not care about me ,or his children. He is a robot. How can I convince him,or stay with him like that? He is getting totally burned out, I don't know what to do, I think he is escaping from his feelings into his work. I feel, he is so sick emotionally. What are my choices in this case? Please give me some advice! Thanks

Laura1318 agony auntIf your husband is a workaholic,you may sit down and talk to him but I don't think it will be very effective.

It may work in certain cases where he is not very into his work.

Many men make the mistake of thinking that once they are married , they will concentrate on their careers.

They do not think of a balance life until their wives left them.

Laura1318 agony auntYour husband is a workaholic. It is an obsessive and compulsive behavior, he needs help.

The only way to talk to him is to leave and he will wake up from this malady. For he will only understand what is the purpose of life?

eyeswideopen agony auntSounds like you two need to sit down and have nice long productive talk, to see where both of you are coming from and let each other know what you would like in the future. This would be a discussion not an argument, stay calm and don't be accusatory. Every marriage needs these heart-to-heart conversations every so often. They can produce surprising results! Good luck and keep us posted.
