[quote=Anonymous][quote]And it's flat out unreasonable to expect someone who works 70 hours a week at a high-stress job to not want down time. No, you can't work that hard and then not have an opportunity to decompress in the evening or on the weekend. [/quote]

Well, he plays a sport 2-3 nights a week and seems to have much if the weekend to himself. He seems unwilling to change his commute, so basically he wants to come home and not have to talk or interact with his family at all until he goes to sleep.

Sad that playing with his kid is work and not a form if decompression.

I have often worked 60 hours with travel, and am a solo parent 1 out of every 2-3 weeks. I don't have the Luxury of alone time u til my kids are in bed and usually I sleep then. I don't stay out 2-3 nights a week after bedtime for a hobby. I have a responsibility to my kids and even though we have a great babysitter and I have a spouse with a much more flexible job I don't expect him to do all the work.

Much of op's husband's schedule is a choice on his part, with little choice on hers. It's not surprising to me that folks like this get divorced. They are not putting effort or time in to their marriage or family. Money isn't the same as time or love and those of you acting like it's okay for this guy to neglect his kid because he's making big bucks, that's sad...[/quote]
