At my limit
I'm new and not sure exactly where to begin except that I am in a relationship where there is an 11 yr old boy whom we have for the majority of the time. His mother lives about 2 hours away and sees him on weekends. Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. We drive to meet her every weekend so there isn't a lot of alone grown up time. I also should mention that we had much more time as a couple before she moved. I'm not sure if it's the child or my spouse I resent. I am frustrated and angry more since Covid. I guess that is to be expected. My issues revolve around parenting. My spouse only wants me involved when it benefits him or when he is arguing with the child. He makes rules but they only last a short time. We have a great time when we are alone but the weeks are become more hostile between my spouse and myself to the point where I am considering ending things. Thoughts anyone?

Parenting
He MUST step up his parenting game. If he doesnt want you to parent, then you dont need to pay for kiddo either. You dont need to do for kiddo, watch kiddo, nothing. Disengage.
You are probably putting all the resentment on the child, but its his father and mother that are failing him and they you should resent.
Not knowng specifics - if you want your own children - would you be ok parenting with this man? Where do you see yourself having a future. If its bad NOW, what about pre-teen and teen years??????
It's time the custody order
It's time the custody order was revisited - nobody should have to spend that much time on the road every weekend, divide it into bigger blocks.
