fbpx How Do I Encourage My Husband To Spend Less Time Working?
Authored by Dr. Michelle Murray on October 18, 2022

Dear Dr. Michelle:

My husband lost his job at the start of the pandemic. Which was scary but he has since found a new one. My problem is he now works all the time putting in long hours – more than I think he needs to. I don’t mind caring for the kids and managing the house but I barely see him and he’s missing our kids' activities. I think he’s afraid to lose his job again. How can I get him to stop working so much?
