He Spends All His Free Time Fishing

I love my husband but he spends all of his free time fishing! My husband works up to 12 hour some days and we have 4 kids in our home and it seems every bit of free time he has he goes fishing. Sometimes he will go fishing for up to 5 hours at a time and sometimes everyday for a few hours. I get upset that he won’t set a time aside for it and he won’t skip it once, and surprise me, and want to do something with me or the kids. Fishing is his priority and he gives me a guilt trip if I do anything to get in the way of fishing!
Have a talk with him and simply point out, as you did in your question, that you’re not asking him to stop fishing, only that you have an expectation that he spend some of his free time with you and the kids. It’s great to have an outlet like fishing (are you sure that’s what he’s doing?), but if one has a wife and a family they should be the first priority.
