What would you do

When I first met my bd, money was never issue cus he lived with his parents but when we moved in together it’s been a issue. Hes always living pay check to pay check. Even asking me for a few dollars here and there. we go half on everything and I can hold up my half no problem even have extra to pamper myself but more often than not he struggles to keep up with his half but still be buying weed and what not. We’ve got into a few fights over this and I’m so tired of the same old shit every month. He’s never really able to buy me anything or treat me to anything besides food here and there but I just don’t see this going far a relationship like this is not sustainable. It makes me really sad cus we got a newborn one week away and I just see us fighting over him not having enough to buy his daughter shit either n looks like imma have to be doing most of the spending.. I haven’t been wanting to cook past few days and he can’t even buy any take out cus he’s broke waiting for his next check 🥴 I’m so stressed out. I’ve asked why he doesn’t look for a better paying job and he just stuck in his comfort zone😵‍💫 I just got laid off too and on unemployment so I won’t have as much money anymore either and it’s making me spiral thinking about everything ☹️ been tryna save up for a car but I can’t cus all the extra money usually goes to paying for shit when I wanna go on a date or pay for anything outside of bills😡 idk what to do. Ik money isn’t everything but on top of that we’ve gotten into a few physical fights while pregnant and I forgave him for the sake of tryna have this family I always wanted but idk shit is hard man

Yeah you shouldn’t hit him neither but I’m not judging though . But he still can walk away especially since you’re pregnant at the end of the day. I would neverrrrrrr hit a pregnant woman everrrrrrrrrr .But you should also not hit him as well. I I think y’all need some counseling . But I see y’all not in the best financial situation. Do you think y’all could take a break from each other ? Like separate for a week a so. I’m doing the same me and my bf don’t physically fight but I feel like he doesn’t put much effort into our relationship and I’m going to let him know when he gets home I want a break. Your situation is more complicated though your pregnant and about to have a newborn soon and you need all the support you can get. I wish I could offer some better advice but I really feel like he needs to go back to his parents house until he ready to man up. May I ask how old he is? I feel like he’s young probably 19 or early 20s.

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️
