[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first husband was similar, a real control freak. I couldn't divorce him at the time for many reasons so I encouraged him to work more, and I kept busy so I didn't have to see him as much. He couldn't nag, complain or bitch if I wasn't in the room. I'm a person though that can find happiness on my own, not all women are like that. At this point I would stay since your kids are little, but let him sound off to the wind. Parent the kids the way you want, take them out to eat and be gone a few nights during the week. Take a flower arranging class or some hobby or go to a friends...Leave dinner for what's his name..or tell him he's on his own that night.

Honestly divorced with kids can be a bigger nightmare so keep that in mind.  Enjoy your kids and disengage from his nonsense. Not worth arguing, plus he has to be gone a lot with his wackiness and awards, lol.  When I finally divorced my husband I had 3 friends who said I was crazy. They said they would love a husband that works all the time for the lifestyle we had. They were probably right. [/quote]

I am not the OP, but my husband is similar.  I really appreciate this advice, and I have been thinking about it for the past couple of days.  I actually do like my husband, but parenting with him has been such a challenge.  I have been letting him do his own thing the past couple of days whenever I can.  Not asking him to be involved with the kids, and things at more peaceful.  He did take our six year old down to the basement to study Chinese for an hour last night (we are both German).  But I am considering just encouraging him to work more.  It's what he wants to do anyway. [/quote]
