OP, this is really common and can definitely lead to divorce. You need to get to a counselor (I think family therapist would be best, they will take a look at your families or origin and will factor in DS in a way that a marriage counselor may not). You also need to get your DH into some social circles where his choices are not the norm so they aren't always being reinforced. When he is with the guys at happy hour and biking, it's not a reality check that most DH and DF spend a lot of time with their family.

OP, it's not just you, it's a lot of him, but you guys need to turn this around. If not, this will be your life, or more commonly, you will divorce. You both owe it to your DS to at least try to learn better ways to communicate and connect. In the meantime, line up a sitter and go out on a weekly date after bedtime. See what happens, talk about the feelings you each have adjusting to parenthood. Get at some of the stuff motivating the behaviors that you are trying to manage with the schedule. Talk about why fairness is so important. Talk about your dreams for your son and your family. If things feel a bit tense, go see a movie.

Best to the 3 of you, OP.[/quote]
