My husband has had the huge project at work, that has turned him into a workaholic because in his mind no one else can do it as well as him and if he asks for help he'll just be fixing problems the less compitent people created later on. So in order to complete the project he has been pulling all nights and basicly working around the clock. I've asked him not to do that, I don't mind overtime but life should not have to wait for overtime at work (He took a day off for our anniversiry, but had to work the entire weekend 24/7 afterward to because of the time he took off to spend with me, I shouldn't have to sacrifice a weekend to get my anniversy with him)(He has 5 weeks vaction yet to take, and if he gets to 6 he'll stop accumulating more).

And just because I know people will ask NO ONE else at his job does this. This should not be a requirement of the job. He just doesn't know how to say no or ask for or take help.

Anyway this project was over (well his big part atleast, its in testing now), and this weekend was his self proclaimed 'first free weekend' from the huge project. So yesterday he sleeps in till noon. I was out with his mother and our niece and then went shopping. He wanted to go to Home Depot to get stuff for all the projects we've let go do to his working. We spent 2 hours and a ton of money at home depot.

This morning we were supposed to go to lunch with my family. But knowing how much work he wanted to get done around the house, I called and told them we were not coming. He complains if we go to lunch with them at 1pm the whole day is shot. Well its 12:53 and he is still in bed. I let him sleep till noon, but I went down and tried to to kick him out of bed. I'm just so mad!

When I first started writing this I really was just mad about the sleeping in. But its more, its the working insane hours and the sleeping all hours of the day. I'm sick of it and don't know what to do.
 
You just miss your husband. Can you crawl in with him and just be with him.

He sounds like a workaholic, not a bad thing, but something you may have to get used to, and figure out how to deal with.
 
Crawl in bed and "wake him up" in a way he can't say no to...if you know what I mean! ;)
 
It's frustrating when you can't find time with your husband. However, he's been working so hard that he needs some rest and down time now. Try to let him have it..................it's not really about right now. Then sit down at a calmer time and try to talk about how his work is affecting your relationship..........there may be no solution, but it might feel better just to talk about it with him.
