    Font - I (27f) am married to a man (34m). Together we have 2 children. His daughter (11), and a son we shared (4). We've been married for 6 years.

    Font - We have the older girl on a 50/50 schedule. The way it works out,she is at our house typically 3-4 nights a week and then her mother's house the same amount of time.

    Human body - A BIG area of conflict between my husband and I is that he feels he doesn't get enough time with his child.
  • 05
    Font - We fight about it all the time. And I'm Not really sure how to help him with this. He has been divorced for 10 years and the custody schedule he has had been in place since long before I came into the picture. Years. Recently he has been working only part time so he is off 100% of the time she is here, even if she's at school.

    Human body - And I took a second job so we could work the logistics financially. Because I really wanted to help him with this.

    Font - Our day to day schedule looks a lot like I get up with the kids and get them off to school, then I go to work. Since Hubby has to be at work at 5am the days he works I let him sleep in when he is off. The kids do after care after school until I get off from work I go pick them up around 4:45pm.

    Font - When we get home hubby will talk to the kids about 10-15 minutes while I walk the dogs. Then my Son will watch tv while my SD (step daughter) and I will do her homework. My husband will take this as an opportunity to go to the bathroom. Around 5:30-6 I'll start cooking dinner while SD and son play. At this point every single day my husband is still in The bathroom.

    Font - Around 6:30 I will knock and tell Him dinner is on the table, it takes him roughly 15-20 minutes to come to eat with us. As soon as dinner is over he excuses himself back into the bathroom. The kids and I clean the kitchen and then they do their baths etc and around 8:30 I will knock again for him to come tuck in our son.

    Font - Husband and SD will hang out for about an hour while I do the house chores and then I will go walk SD up to bed and hubby will take his shower and go to bed himself. I walk the dogs again and then do the same.

    Font - So the other night my husband told my SD she didn't have to go to bed on time and I pulled him aside and reminded him she had a big test the next day and past performance has proven she needs effective rest the night before. After she went to bed we had another all out fight over how he feels it's my fault he never spends time with her.

    Font - I yelled at him that if he didn't spend HOURS every night in the bathroom he would have more time with her while she is awake. Obviously something else is going on with him because if he even cared about her he would make time for her the way I do.

    Font - He has not spoken to me in 4 days even though I have tried to say I'm sorry so many times so I know I really hurt him. I think I may be the AH because I know this is the one thing he is most insecure about and I threw it into his face in a moment of anger. So. ΑΙΤΑ?

    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: I think I may be the AH because I know this is the one thing he is most insecure about and I threw it into his face in a moment of anger.
