Hello,
I have been battling with my wife over several issues and have reached a point where I feel I can neither fix the problems nor find any help to try and resolve things. Instead I feel that I am constantly being manipulated to compromise or just to keep an appearance of peace.
For a long time I have sacrificed much peace and comfort in order to allow my wife to work and pursue her own interests, while I try to maintain my current career job and my relationship with our son. But lately I find that I am unable to get enough sleep every day because of demands being placed upon me.
My job requires me to work an odd shift finishing close to 1AM at night, and I typically don't fall asleep until 2:30 or 3:00 AM. But I am expected to wake up at 7:30 or 8:00 AM to get our son to school. I have been following this schedule for the last two months and previously on a limited basis. Because my (office) job and my health are seriously suffering when I do not get enough sleep, I am afraid to lose it, and do not feel able to continue taking care of our son in the morning.
Many times I have had a disagreement with my wife over my working hours as she does not sympathize with my problem with lack of sleep and expects me to be able to function with the way things are. In fact when I have withdrawn my babysitting help in the past she has stated that "I can't see him at my own convenience" and made it seem like she was going to prevent me from seeing him.
In the interest of saving my income and a very favorable job, I am considering to move out of the house to stay with my brother and mother but keep a presence at home with my son on the weekends.
I know there is a lot more to the situation that I cannot be unbiased about, but I am desparate for any help to resolve these matters.
