Bear with me, I haven't posted on 4chan for what must be

You can still spirit her away for an evening, and make it all about her. You could also take a vacation WITH the baby, like to a national park or something (if she's into that sort of thing).

There's also little shit you can do while at home. Offer her a massage, and ask her about her day while doing it. Help her cook dinner, and talk while doing so. If work is killing your relationship, then start making choices. It's ok to insist that you're only going to work 40 hours, unless you signed a contract stating otherwise. If so, start looking for more work, and tell your wife this, so that you can spend more time with her.

It's a flat rate per annum, and it's supposed to be 9 to 5. I'm only putting so many extra hours because I want the promotion coming up, it's close to double what I'm currently making. I don't want to look for another job, even if I don't get the promotion this one is still very nice.

She finishes the dinner usually around the time I get home, but I'll start offering her massages or foot rubs before we go to bed. Maybe start planning a weekend at the beach or something too. Thanks.

Do you know how I can get her to open up more about what's bothering her?

Which is more important: the promotion or your marriage? If you had to pick one, which would you pick?

>Do you know how I can get her to open up more about what's bothering her?
Yeah. By being there and letting her know that you and the kid are your biggest priorities. I get that you want the promotion to provide for her better, but the way shit is going, its destroying your marriage.

She resents you putting your job before your family or she doesn't feel noticed\valued\empowered\apprecaited..

Climb the corporate ladder or go home and be a family man, its hard to do both successfully.

My family 10 times out of 10. I'm only pushing for this so much so she and our daughter can live more comfortably and to give our daughter more options in the future. If I didn't have a family there's no way I would be working so hard.

If she was happy before the promotion, but after you got the kid, she'll be happy without the promotion.

If she was unhappy before the promotion due to the increased finances due to the child, she's obviously trying to tough it and put on a brave face, so that you can get the promotion. Either way, you need to spend more time with her and focused on her if you want her to remain open.

>Every time I try and broach the topic she becomes dismissive and insists she's fine
Insist that you do want to know what's on her mind. Explain all the thoughts on your mind, all your worries, your goals and see what she has to say.

Your work hours also sounds excessive. What about drawing the line at coming in at weekends?

It's a stretch, but the main problem might not be your increase in hours and instead something having to do with her sister.

I don't understand why you have go to the gym every day

>>18522909
1. Going to gym EVERY DAY IS STUPID. You should have 3 days x 1 hour max per week for maximum effect + bulk protein diet

2. When was the last time you invited her on date?

3. She gives you cold shower because that is what girls do when they want more your attention.

4. Asking girl
>what is wrong
is bullshit. Since you have to ask, it is already bad enough for you to notice.

5. Workibg your ass for promotion is useless. You will work for the next 30 years, bin that idea. Do your average and start being friends with your boss. That will get you promotion. Hard working people never gets promotions. Why? Who would you promote?
>joe who works as two workers for low pay
>chad who does nothing but is your friend
Firm needs idiots who work hard and they use promotion as carrot on stick you will never get.

6. Buy her flowers from time to time. Ask her on date. And have sex with her already. Pregnant girls get cut from society, they stop feeling sexy and then any other man will give her tiny bit if attention and she will cheat you.

GIVE HER YOUR ATTENTION before divorce happens. Ask her sister to give you tips. She will know everything wrong with your marriage.

7. Working from 7 to 7 is ~11 hours. I bet you got paid for 7 hours and then work 4 for free like cuck you are. Simply stop that. Career is capitalism scam to boost productivity.

8. Consider her to take some easy part time job.

9. And sex her up. Do you own vibrator? Time to buy some adult toys.

>flat rate
>putting extra hours
Yup, with this attitude they will NEVER promote you. You are perfect working slave. No need to give you more money when you work for free.

I find it relaxing and helps motivate me for the rest of the day. Plus I get to stay in shape.

Thank you for your input.

It's not every weekend, just one or two a month.

Men never realize how powerful the littlest gestures of love can be with a woman.

Do you phone her a couple of times a day just to say you're thinking of her? Do you bring home flowers, candy, her favorite magazine? Do you do the dishes when you come home, even if you're tired? Do you leave an "I love you" note on her pillow when you leave in the morning?

Believe me, the cornier the gesture, the more it will mean to her.
