I wouldn’t actually cheat but

Have you ever just like not wanted to cheat on your husband but maybe talk to another guy you find on social media for that “new flirty feeling” again? Like I love my husband but we haven’t seen each other since 6:45am when he left for work and I had only been awake enough to kiss him bye and he left.
When I came home after college, working, & being at my moms so she could help with our son while I did homework, he got home at 6:15pm and i didn’t get home until 10pm. I played his video games the entire almost 4 hours we were gone & when I got home, he got off of his game to grab the food I brought him and got back on his game.. then he gets mad at me bc he says that I’m complaining too much but do I have a reason?! But sometimes I get to the point where I just want someone to see me and give me attention. Ugh.

He played his video games the whole time we were gone not i * lol.

Are you actually married to him or just bf? Sounds like its time to find someone who cares to be around you and wants to give you attention

married

I personally wouldn’t recommend that. You may not be cheating physically but it’s cheating emotionally.

I would say never stop dating your spouse
If you haven’t already expressed that you miss him and miss that feeling y’all use to have together when y’all first met I recommend doing so
Maybe even send cute little flirty texts throughout the day. Even plan ahead by saying “Hey tomorrow night I want to spend time with you” I like to plan little at home dates

My husband loves video games too and when he wants to play for a while he will tell me several hours ahead of time that he’s planning to play.

I wish you luck

What is it with his men and still playing video games. My husband did it too. But that was years ago! Time to grow up and worry about your family. I personally couldn’t handle that. In speaking from a woman that’s been married for a long time I get that feeling. You are human and you will have those feelings, but do not cheat.

lol some people are just gamers age doesn't matter for that demographic both me and my hubby play video games it's who we are. The issue here is moderation and taking time away to spend as a couple. Even if I don't play the same games as him we spend time together.

On the cheating front I always like to say that if you have to hide your phone or what your saying to someone else it may as well already be cheating or on the way to it. Just talking to someone I was close to for years ended up a new relationship when my ex husband basically alienated me and stopped being intimate in any way.

Coming from someone who has been cheated on, seeking attention from somewhere else is not the answer and will only cause more issues. This is a problem in the relationship and must be addressed between the 2 of you. Adding another person to the mix only complicates things.

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Baby Food Maker

What’s everyone’s thoughts on a baby food maker? I’m looking to get Baby Breeza or Grownsy. Thoughts? What does everyone like?

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?
