Is he ONLY working weekends? If so, he should be doing the housework and not complaining about what you haven't done. He should also be making an effort to make evenings family time and easier for you less housework, cooking etc. You need to make it clear to him in words that you feel lonely and trapped, that you understand that it's a good job and you want him to be happy at his job but you need him to make up for the lost time. He shouldn't be happy knowing you are unhappy and he should reassure you and the kids that he wants to spend time with you. Tell him how it hurts you when he raves about how much he loves his job even though it keeps him away from his family. If he understands how you feel he should be sensitive enough to give you the love, time and attention you need.
