I’m afraid to be alone

I don’t love my partner and I don’t think I have since he cheated on me while pregnant. I want to say I hate him bc I feel like I do sometimes. I’m always respectful to him whether we’re happy or arguing but can't say the same for him. He's done so much damage and I've let him continue stepping over me bci think I love him? He was great for the first year of my son's life. But after that I feel like he's changed. He went to the strip club the other day and I already have boundaries about him not going to swim parties yet he somehow didn't correlate the two events being the same. Tried talking to him but he was disrespectful, meaningless apology, and manipulative and just controlled the discussion and how it made me feel. He's a good Dad but a terrible partner. I'm just scared to be alone and he knows I won't leave. I want real love, someone who truly cares and listens. I hate my life sometimes.

Hi love, I know the thought of being alone is scary, but would you rather be miserable for the rest of your life?
He can still be a good dad if you’re together or not, you can work something out between you. You deserve so much more than this and it’s about time you realise that you need to do what’s best for you. In the long run, your son will start to figure the pair of you out; what type of people, parents and partners you are. Do you really want him to see you hurting this way? You deserve to be happy and your partner needs to realise that you’re not to be walked all over. You can do this if you really want it, you’re stronger than you think you are.

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the £27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?


Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please 🙏

Extending maternity leave beyond a year

I’m due to go back to work in June and my baby to nursery after a year off (I work in the nursery she’ll be attending).I can’t claim funding for her until September so considering now staying off with her until then.

Does anyone know how this works? Am I entitled to just tell them I’m doing this or is it something that can be refused now my maternity leave and 52 weeks leave entitlement is up?

Meal Service

Hey mamas! Struggling over here to find the time to do it all, even with partner support. Has anyone done a meal delivery service? I've only heard of Hello Fresh but I know there are others. Thoughts? Experiences? Worth the price? Looking for any way to make our lives easier!
