Well, I'm wondering whether you're being realistic or not...
I totally understand learning, and working towards things, but are you really bringing in an income with it? Do you have a solid plan in place TO bring in an income? You might just be a slob... and that's not fair to her.
You can't just leave (shame on you people for telling him that... you must not be married or have kids), so you need to find a balance.
Here's my suggestion: if you aren't bringing in any income at all, then you need to start. I suggest you get a part time job doing something (anything), so you're bringing in some cash. Bag groceries or something. Then, you should schedule 4 to 6 hour "work" days, 5 days a week on your computer stuff. That means treating it like a job: you can ONLY work that long, and only 5 days a week. That leaves time or relationship maintenance/family time and school.
The final piece of the puzzle is that you need a plan. You have to stop talking about all your "valuable" skills, and start talking about how you're going to put them to work. Make a plan with deadlines and milestones to get from here, to making money on the web. Execute your plan within your "work days" of 4 to 6 hours a day, 5 days a week.
That means you'll have 8 to 10 hours work days, plus your classes, and you'll be bringing in money, while having a solid plan (that you'll STICK TO) to make money online. When you're making money online, quit your day job, and focus on computers full time.
I'd bet my ass your life will improve if you do all that... good luck.
