Quote: I meant him making excuses as to why you could not get in touch with him. Meeting ran late, didn't hear the phone ring, cell phone was in his pocket in the closet....ect.
Yeah...??? Keep going... please. What has your radar picked up?

He might claim that he is doing all of this for the family. In a sense, he is right. But is it possible that he prefers work life to family life? Maybe he feels much more competent working than trying to make you happy? Maybe he feels like a highly competent and successful manager and a crappy husband? Maybe work is much more validating than home life?
I'm not suggesting this is your fault, just trying to rationalize his behavior. And I'm just guessing (being a career oriented man myself) that he is using the line "I am doing all of this for you and the kids."
