Advice desperately needed please!!

So I've been with my partner for a year and a half now and we have a 1 month baby together we've arguing a lot lately as I always think he's checking out girls when we're in public and I constantly think he's looking at girls on his phone I have extremely low self esteem and pretty much think I'm the ugliest thing ever and always compare myself to other women in the first 7 month of our relationship he would go on dating apps, flirt with women online, check women out and like certain things online all of this has made my insecurities 10x worse as I don't look like these women. For about almost a year he's tried his best and has stopped everything and really does try his best but I'm so paranoid and think why would he want someone like me he was scrolling on Instagram and had a good look at a post of a pornstar on the best that came up on his news feed we've had a huge argument about it how do I change how do I trust him, gain self confidence and let the past go
Please šŸ™ anything suggestions

I have very low self esteem as well. I have been cheated on by every guy I have ever dated. I never think I'm good enough. I'm always accusing my boyfriend of cheating on me. I don't know if my trust issues are just that bad or if I'm subconsciously trying to sabotage my own relationship. He's never really given me a good reason to make me feel like he's cheating on me. But I'm also terrified to ever look at his phone. My ex husband cheated on me ALOT and I was dumb enough to stay with him for 12 years. I feel like my boyfriend wouldn't cheat on me but it drives me crazy not knowing if I'm just crazy or if he really is. And I'm afraid to talk to him about it because I'm afraid of finding out the truth šŸ˜”

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

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.

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ā€˜not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
