Do you remember what brought you guys together in the first place? Do you think maybe he sees you as a different person? I'm sure having a young child doesn't help with you two spending alone time together.
I hate saying this....but have you tried giving him a taste of his own medicine? When my bf does things like this and starts taking our relationship for granted I just stop doing the things he takes for granted. I let him come home to nasty dishes and I go out with my friends without inviting him. After a while he asks why I'm doing these things and realizes that he was being a jerk.
How long have things been like this? I understand that you want to 'fix' it but sometimes things can't be 'fixed'. YOU can't fix anything. There has to be a base to start with. If he is not willing to try then I'm sorry but all there really is to do is leave and be happy. I know you don't want to hear that but it sounds like this relationship is already over for him. And keep in mind - if you want to 'fix' it because you have a child together.....I would be much more screwed up if my parents had stayed together. Children can tell when there isn't love involved. Would you rather your child grow up seeing her parents just show hate towards one another? Or grow up seeing her mom stand up for herself and do what's best for her? Me watching my mom leave my dad and seeing that whole thing unravel (I was 6 at the time) really instilled me with this sense of doing what is right for me. Hope things work out for you and keep us updated.
