I agree his priorities are all messed up, though. When the divorce happens it's going to be his fault regardless of what the actual catalyst of the divorce is.

Given how you post I am pretty sure you must realize it is not necessary to work most of the daylight hours

I guess but expecting a 19 year old to go to bed every night at 10pm and have no social life as a result is pretty silly.

stress probably makes sex a chore for him. all the more reason he shouldn't be swimming in a pool of debt and working an 80 hour a week job with an infant and a new wife.

Look, he can fall asleep in twelve minutes, as is.
If we add sex into this equation we may find that, despite time between 'settling' and 'sleeping' being shortened, when we look at the overall time taken...

If his hours are crazy, he can't take her out all the time, and getting mad at him for it is unreasonable. Edit: What I'm saying is, these are the circumstances they are currently in as a couple. He should be trying to change the situation and she should probably accept that this is how things are right now and give him some time to fix it.

Of course, the answer to their problem is obvious - he needs to find a new job that doesn't demand all of his time. In the meantime, he should probably do what most americans do when they get married and just stop loving exercising in the mornings.

He does need to get to work, I grant you, but he's still intentionally worked out a routine that means he gives himself a good few hours of me-time while giving absolutely no time to doing things with his wife, save for the 'rare' treat of going past his 9:58 bedtime.
Like, time to oneself is important, but the girl is crying over how alone she feels and he just handwaves it as "but other human beings have shared your space recently????"

Sounds like she isn't asking for "all the time" but literally once in a while and that is too much even. 97% of all days he doesn't go to bed past 10pm. That's once a month they gently caress or go socialize with friends or whatever.

If that's the situation now and he is gonna change it okay but I feel like he isn't even acknowledging her concerns because he's going "I don't get it, she says she is alone all the time but she has friends over..." which I promise you from the wife's perspective = "he doesn't' care about how I am feeling" which is why is upset in the first place and saying he doesn't love her.

I mean you're right; I just feel like there is a greater issue here bc he doesn't even seem to get why she is upset really. If he communicated with her she would prolly be open to "poo poo sucks now but it'll get better I promise bae" but as it is now he is asking Reddit about why she is so upset. She's not doing anything wrong just voicing her concerns/feelings.

I kinda wonder if there's anything else, like if he was letting all non-work aspects of his life go I'd assume there was some depression there and stuff would make more sense but him still doing exercise and such while not being able to make time to bone his wife just seems so random.

For real though, it's hard, I mean, come on. Who hasn't had someone they thought was a friend, and then 2 years in they drop a comment about how child pornography isn't "a big deal" and you're like oh yeah this is why i don't hang out with compsci students

I've experienced the extreme case of this twice. I developed deep, trusting relationships with two different men in two different states, different socio-economic classes, different races, etc. These were people I would have bled for. One day I wake up, and they're in jail for loving special needs children in their care. These two relationships were back to back over about four-five years.

Goddamn it if I don't still try my hardest to love and trust those around me. Sure, this really hosed me up for a long time, but I'm not going to let a couple of kid fiddlers ruin my interpersonal relationships. Yes, I talk about this in therapy sometimes. Yes I got extremely depressed and it was a contributing factor towards me planning suicide (how poo poo was I as a person to fall for this twice?) but I never stopped giving all I could to my friends and trying to reach out to others. That's really the only reason I didn't end things. I needed people and they sure as poo poo needed me.

Neither were compsci though. White, middle-class art student and Latino, lower-class wage-slave.
