Karen; I think there are still some things that you could do, to make the marriage #1. But I definately agree that the biggest priority problem, is what he is doing.
that is why I wrote,

"Think about what would change, if you both made your marriage the #1 priority?"

If his job gets in the way of you both having a happy marriage... then currently, his job is #1 priority.

Now.. what are YOUR priorities? more money? or a better marriage?

Would you be prepared to tell your husband: "I want us both to put our marriage as #1. I need you to change jobs, to have a regular schedule, with no more trips.

I dont give a damn about the extra money. I would be willing to
[move/lose some things/....], if it meant that you would have a regular stable job and we could be together normally. even if you made 50% of the money you do now"



Would you do that?
Is your marriage really that much of a priority to you?
Or does money come first?
