Sorry I was being flippant when I said he changed diapers on his off days, and thus failed to make my point.... Not only was he willingly sacrificing all for this girl, but after the baby, she deliberately monopolized all his free time, using the baby as an excuse.

I also have a child, and I know how time consuming they can be, so trust me when I say this girl went over board and my friend went along with it because he has the same mind set of the OP.

Balance is key
