Sending lots of love! I got married quite young which ended in divorce. I have a 4 year old daughter and we co parent. It was rocky at first and sometimes still so. You’re gonna see new doors opening for you soon. Keep your head up! Idk the dynamic of your situation but my mantra when I was going through it was I would rather struggle a bit during the divorce than live unhappy for the rest of my life ♥️

@Jasmine thank you for those kind words. It is definitely hard to navigate at times and I know all things will work out in the end. It would just be nice to have someone in my corner to aid in that you know.

Separated with a 5yo daughter and an 11yo boy. Only the girl is his.

@Lorina very similar for me. We share our son and he had a daughter from a previous relationship

@Taisha yep trying to file so me and fiance can get married my fiance has a 3yo from a previous relationship

@Lorina for us it was a very easy process. Not sure where you live but I hope its the same for you

@Taisha thanks East Dublin, Laurens County in Georgia

@Lorina I'm in NC and once we were separated for a year we could file. Took like a week to get it finalized

Congratulations on your new stage of life. Nice to meet you

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠
