[quote=Anonymous]I think there are separate issues here.

For OP, the issue of how she wants to spend her time really is in her control. She certainly can outsource more things, be less of a martyr, have more time in the evenings for other stuff--fine. what bothers her is not her time but the fact that her husband makes no concessions of his time for family--and still wants more free time.

He works 70 hours a week, spends another 6 to 8 on hobbies, travels weekly, doesn't do any household stuff (except what he wants to do)  and doesn't spent much time with his kid wants more 'free time." The question is when, OP, and at what cost? Does he want "free time' that he is currently spending with child? Because it doesn't seem like there is any other free time.  If so, that's terribly sad, but you can't force him to have a relationship with his son. (Well, i'm of two minds--I'm not sure you want to make it'ok' for him to never spend time with his child, but you also can't force it).

OP, you have to spell out here what it is that really is upsetting you and what it is that you think your DH is asking for. I mean, what chunks of time is he filling with non-work X that he wants to have free?
