[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am so sorry you're going through this. I'd suggest some advanced planning by sitting down and making a schedule for the week, outlining how you'd like to spend your time. I.e., you will do bath/ bedtime routine together 3 nights a week, and then you will both have two nights "free." Emphasize the three nights together are important because it helps the baby to see the bond as a family. On Saturdays you'll participate in an activity of his choosing and on Sundays, one of yours. Try to fit in a date night once a month. I assume your baby still takes two naps a day -- Maybe on Sundays during the late afternoon nap he can go watch football -- whatever -- and on Saturdays that's your free time to leave the house and do as you wish. I'd just make sure to work yourself into the schedule for personal time so that he remembers you still have interests and needs outside of being a caregiver.

I know I am oversimplifying the issue here, but if you can get him on board to commit to a compromise you might find you enjoy it, too. Divorce is so hard on everyone it's worth exhausting some options.[/quote]
