writes: We've been married for 21 years and have had our ups and downs, but have mainly been happy. My problem is that my husband is away a lot of the time with work, and when he does come home he goes out with his friends. We have three teenage kids and he rarely spends time with them, which saddens me, as he is missing out on their lives, and is not being a father to them either. I miss him, and would love for us to spend more time together, but he has always put himself first throughout our marriage, and I casn't see it changing now. I've got to the point where I can't bear the thought of spending the next 21 years with him if they will be the same. Any advice? Reply to this Question

He needs to know that once he got married he was suposed to stand up and be the man of the house, and be there for his family. He needs to care about you and your family's needs also and quit being selfish. It's ok for him to hang with his friends sometimes but not to the point that he just blows off his family. If it doesnt help you sitting him down talking to him, I really think that you both should talk to a professional like a preacher, if you want to make this marriage work. God Bless You! I hope it works out for you and your kids!!
