My husband has been chasing his dream of being a boxer. He works from 7am to whenever (and sometimes thats not until 6 pm) then goes and works out from 8/9 pm until whenever. I am afraid that he is going to wear himself out. I knew with him wanting to do this that he would be away a lot, but it is starting to get to me. I feel lonely. All I do (literally-every day) it wake up to an empty bed, feed the kids, get them dress, mess around with them until nap time, while sean is napping and faith is having her "rest time" I usually get on here or watch some tv, whenever eric gets home i make dinner, he eats, leaves, bath time+ bed time for the kids, and whenever he gets home is when i see him (and half the time i am sleeping). when he is home he sits way across from me and is glued to the tv. i know he loves me and is just tired and stuff, but come on. i just keep hoping that this will all pay off in the end. i guess i am just feeling neglected and having a poor me party but ya know what...oh well :P
I agree with sherrijene make a date night or a family fun DAY and maybe work in one or two a month.......But the important thing is to just tell him how you are feeling.
I agree with the above statements. I also worry about how your children are feeling. It seems like they dont get to see them either. Which Im sure is hard on them. I think he needs to cut back a little bit on the gym so he can be there with you and the kids in the evening. Could be maybe go to the gym in the morning? I would definitely talk to him about it!! I hope it gets better for you and your family!

I don't think you are having a poor me pity party. You have the right to want that. You are married. Your husband and you NEED time for each other. Talk to him about it. Set up a date night, even if it is just for a short walk or out for ice cream. Or even if it's just the two of you watching a movie together at home.
