How well would you say your partner knows you ?

Me and my partner have been together 6 years we have two children together and I feel like he knows nothing about me but I know everything about him. Does anyone else thing/ feel like this or just me ?

That's a real pity. Could you play couples trivia games but have fun with it, not get upset over his lack of knowledge, and use that to improve what he knows about you?
My partner and I have been together 2 years, and he'll say "yea but you don't like......." And I'm like 🤨😒 "that's not me, babe." Or something similar. But he says sorry, and we move on

I find things like car trips are good for talking about our history and sharing stories! I also like the trivia suggestion.

it’s starting to grind on me because he will come out with something like “oh your so ungrateful “ or your being stupid he thinks about himself all the time and not me or his children it’s starting to get on my nerves

I have suggested this but usually he says if I bring something up is I don’t care it was years ago

Been with my OH for 11 years, he remembers shit I told him a decade ago and I have long forgotten about 🤣 He knows me inside and out, as it should be with someone you share your life with. You know their quirks, their history, their likes/dislikes etc. It shows care and attention and also brings you closer as you have a shared history too.

If you feel like your partner doesn’t know you, that says to me they aren’t interested in getting to know you. It’s a choice. If you’ve been with him 6 years and he’s basically telling you he doesn’t care/calling you stupid or ungrateful, it doesn’t sound like he’s the one. He sounds miserable and disinterested. Would he be willing to go to couples counselling? If not, I think you may need to start thinking about getting your ducks in a row as this sounds indicative of deeper issues.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
