Husband busted on kik

Hi last year I grabbed my husbands phone while he was sleeping after nightshift to call my own which I had misplaced. When I opened it the kik app was open which was filled with endless dirty chats with other women, sending dick pics etc. From what I could see he was always using a fake name and it did appear to be random people however I was too sickened by it all to really look into anything further. I woke him up and we had it out. I kicked him out for a few days. He was pretty open with everything that it was only random chats due to sexual frustration and has made an effort since to be a better husband, has an open phone policy and always happy for me to check etc and swears there will
Never be anything happen like this again. Prior to this we were in a bit of a rut. Having minimal sex. He wasn’t overly considerate or helpful which led me to not being overly interested in sex. I also had suspicions he was up to something as he was always really protective and secretive with his phone. My husband and I have been together for over half our lives. Started going out in high school. It’s been nearly a year, he certainly has proved himself with making much more of an effort I just find I can’t get past it. I wish I had looked further into his phone before he had the chance to clear everything when I first discovered it. I feel like I’ll never know the whole truth and the whole situation has really messed with my self esteem and left me feeling pretty worthless. We are due to have our 3rd child next month and I do want things to work out but how do you have a relationship when trust has been broken?

An struggle every day to me , i asked couple therapy hoping that will help us, my heart is fully broken but i would like to try , i also discovered this behavior recently, 1 month ago but this was happening since we met so i felt more than betrayed, he asked for an exclusive relationship while I was not up to deal with such responsibility but i accepted because he asked for while i was the only one doing it, he also said the same as your husband, that was because he likes attention but never wanted to met in person, anyways is cheating for me and i feel like my whole relationship was a big fucking lie. We decided to have a new start and hoping the best for both of us, he also accepted he has wrong and wanted to go to therapy, after all this situation he changed a lot and i feel its working but my mind its driving crazy , i can't get it over even when i know he's doing his best efforts,so i hope couple therapy help me to get it over because i cry everytime i remember everything i saw in his phone.

Remember his behavior is not your fault. You're perfect the way you're.

I’m going through all of this currently. You’re not alone. Stay strong, trust your gut, seek therapy to help you heal & he should seek therapy to find the root of why he would do this.

I've finally done it

I have finally done it. I have finally become the trope, the stereotype.

I have become bitter, resentful, and very overwhelmed and overloaded. I am very unhappy and hit burnout. And I snapped at my husband last night. I work full-time, and work has been very busy so im working late a lot. Im also in grad school. I also have a toddler that has become VERY clingy with me. My husband works shorter days but commutes, so he usually gets home after me by an hour or more. When he gets home, he usually heads to the restroom for at least 30 mins when he gets home. And now my toddler doesnt want anything to do with him. So im doing all the toddler duties until bed. I dont get 5 mins to myself. Not for almost 2 years. I finally hit my wall. I have also, somehow, become my MILs medical ride service and she somehow has an appt every week, it seems?! Shes not sick!! My husband was complaining that he needs to change routine to fit in a workout sometimes, and I lost it. I have been BEGGING for 5 mins to myself for months. I have been telling him how im not good, im going to burn out for months. And between his attitude and him complaining (which really got me b/c he blames me for not being able to work out?! Saying I need help when he gets home so he just cant workout now) I just lost it completely. I told him how unfair my life has become and I have the entire mental and emotional load and it is just not fair. He got mad at me and said "hes trying" when hes literally not trying at all. What do I do?? No one is taking the load from me! And im done and dont know what to do now.
I do not like this version of me.

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.

Big vent!

Hi mums.
I'm a first time mum in my 40s to twin boys.They are almost 5 months old and the biggest miracle in my life!
I am struggling!!!
I'm pretty sure I have ppa as my pregnancy was a very high risk and all I remember was crying from anxiety of all the ifs!Thankfully even born at 35 weeks and skinny,didn't need iu time.
My husband is not helping much because he's always too busy with work.He will "look" after them usually between 8pm-12am so I can have a chance to sleep.
He expects me to just sleep when I touch the pillow,even though I hear tje babies crying and him don't really bother because most of the times he'll be on his laptop working.
When I tell him I can't relax to fall asleep because I feel you r neglecting the babies,he says I'm the problem becauae I'm always there with them and don't give them alone time!!
I am angry!!I am furious!!
I can't keep.up.with housework becauae someone alwaya neess me and most of the times they nap I either cook and clean tje kitchen,do laundry or try and take a quick nap.
He doesn't help.around the house,becauae..guess what?always super busy.
I asked him nicely we could clean the house together every Saturday morning so it's easier and quicker for both of us and he said no,because he has a lot of work but probably wants to sleep until 12 or 2.
2 days ago a button of his coat ripped and I told him I'll sew it these days.
Earlier this morning while running late for his work,as always,he weara the coat and told him didn't get the chance to fix the button and sarcastically said..of.course u didn't!!!
I spent all night awake because one of the babies had congested nose and we've been trying to reduce one fees at night.
I wanted to punch him!!He left and I started crying...I cry so much,even at 5 months pp...
I can't go on like this anymoreeeee...
The crying in my ears is constant..my head is always numb..I've gained so much weight and can't find the strength to get back on track..
Even if I try to.find a therapist to just talk,is it gonna help?I really don't know😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Avoidant husband

I love my husband and he is a good man. We have some issues in our relationship however, as he has an avoidant attachment style (finds romance/intimacy/being emotional difficult). This comes from him having to be independent from a young age and having quite an abusive mother.
The issues in our relationship are mainly around a lack of sex and intimacy. I think the problem is that to feel turned on, I need to feel connected and wanted. My husband (being avoidant) will usually make jokes about being horny whereas I would want to have someone make me feel beautiful/sexy to get in the mood.
It sounds terrible but I've sometimes had dreams about exes that would make me feel this way, and the romance we had (eye contact, intensity, deep words). It makes me feel really guilty but I feel like i'm starved of that. My husband would like a lot more sex but I can't always force myself if I'm not feeling it.
We've spoken a bit about therapy but I know its often really expensive so we probably wouldn't be able to afford it. Do you have any suggestions please? I know that neither of us are wrong in what we want, just different but I'm scared about whether we can fix it or if we're doomed?
