You convince a workaholic partner to put more time and energy into a relationship or marriage?


Whats wrong with being a workaholic?

I am. and Its worked out for me.

I'm also single and don't believe in relationships or love, everyone trys to use me for my money, and I'm rahther anti-social in my personal life, but what does that matter?

nothing wrong with it if you plan to be alone for the rest of your life..and if your comfortable taking your work to bed...then I would say all is well in your world.

Work is the only thing that WILL go to bed with me when I go. But that isn't often anymore.

Promise him bj's after work so he comes home sooner?


Oh well, it went there anyway. During work, while he's on the phone with a customer, trying to stay composed usually shortens the call quite a bit. At this point, the hold button is the workaholic's best friend. "Can you hold on? Something's come up!"

Ask them if they will live forever.

Ask them what is more important, work or love?

Ask them if their behavior is fair.

Ask them if they died tomorrow, would they regret the time they spent away from you to have that extra dollar they won't be able spend on you because they will be dead? Was it worth it?


That is what I would do. This is the reason people go to funerals, really. Keeps life in correct perspective.

You can't. It is like any other addiction. You didn't cause it. You cannot control it. And, you can't cure it.

Work on healing yourself. Let go of expectations. You can only change yourself, with the help of peers and your higher power.

Other than just explaining to someone what you want/need from them and telling them how their behavior hurts you and the family, you can't. they will either listen and try to change or they won't.

I agree. Don't enable them. Allow them to experience the repercussions of their actions and choices. Take care of yourself. :heart:

If you try to manipulate or control them through shaming, arguing, nagging, instilling fear or regret, offering praise or great sex as a means to influence, blaming, or instilling guilt, they will just end up having reason to become angry and resent you. They will have justified all the time spent away from home and given themselves MORE reason to keep staying away and at work.
