My husband is a workaholic?

I need a little help with my husband. Recently he told me his is bored because we never go out anymore. I think he feels we are distant. But on the other hand he is a workaholic. He never leaves work on time, always working at least 1-3 hours late. He has recently sacrificed his Saturdays to work also. He has been working 6 days a week for the last two months. I ask him if his coworkers work as much as he does and he says no, but he is just a better employee then them.
I understand the need to work later on issues everyone in a while…. but this has really gotten out of hand. Now it is coming to a point that our family routine is thrown all off schedule…. and there are times our 10 month old son is going to bed when he is walking in the door.
How do I tell him that his family is as important as his job. How do I tell him that it is unfair of him to tell me that we don’t go out and do enough together anymore when he is NEVER around.
Anyone else deal with things like these…. how did you get past it?

BTW, he’s on salary so its not about the money.
Please… I need some suggestions and help.
Also… please don’t tell me he is having an affair…. as I know this isn’t the case.
Thank you.
