[quote=Anonymous]OP I feel your pain. Same situation here. My DH is big law though, and not medicated although he really should be. He won’t consider it. So the only sort of semi - solution I have come up with is to hire more help. And ask almost nothing of him. Currently, he drives the kids to school once a week and that is only kid obligation other than occasional pick up or sports chauffeuring IF he happens to be free. This happens about two or three times a month. 
On the weekend, I ask him to cover one game and I let him choose. I cover the other three games. (Three kids, four games per weekend)

He plays tennis four times a week, basketball once per week, and works out five days a week. He also requires a certain amount of “down time” where he watches TV. 
He gets weekly massages and goes alone to the movies at least twice a month. 
We have a babysitter every other Saturday night   
He still complains about his lack of free time.

The only reason this works is that I work part time so can manage most everything else, and I am able to outsource a lot.  In order to do all the evening driving and homework and weekend stuff,  I do zero laundry cooking or cleaning. This is all outsourced. 
It’s expensive ve, but cheaper than a divorce I guess. 
And yes of course I have considered separating. I consider it all the time. But for now I stay. [/quote]
