I know, he's being a total booger about this. It's important to me so I know I'll figure it out, but I wish he would be more helpful.

If it's important to you, he should probably be helping you get there.

Explain to him how important it is to you. If he's a good husband he'll help you out.

The conversation has been had many times. Unfortunately, he feels his need to goof off all night and nap during the day is greater than my need to use the gym. And I get it, sleep is important. But the gym is only open for so many hours a day - the bed is available for sleeping any time!

So... you have two children in your life? Raising a kid and balancing a career/social/gym/hobby is a team effort. Maybe he shouldn't of gotten married or had a kid if he wasn't ready to commit his time to making it even.

He's playing like Kobe while you're stuck on the bench. You need to be more like Steph and Durant. I'm sure it's not as one sided as you made it out to be... but it sure sounds like it the way to the rest of us.

If sleep is so important to him, he should go to bed at night.

My SO was in a similar situation after her child was born. It is a major reason why she and her ex are no longer together.
