Husband keeps disconnecting monitor when I leave the house

Everytime I leave and he’s gonna be home alone within minutes of me leaving the house the monitor gets unplugged. It’s not pointing towards the whole room or points at him so I really don’t understand the purpose? It points at my babies crib only. It’s just so sus at this point. The other day I left at 3 and at 3:02 it coincidentally got unplugged, he denied it. Yesterday he dropped me off to my family for a week and he got back home at 12:10 and 12:12 it was unplugged. This time I blocked the plug with a big mirror and stuff around it so he couldn’t say it unplugged by itself and he still moved all this shit to unplug it. Is this sus or am I being paranoid?? It’s just weird to me like why for what?

Definitely suss. When you get home is it still unplugged?

Avatar

I’m not sure if it will be unplugged when I get back but I texted and confronted him about it so I’m sure he will probably plug it back in and act confused. last time he wasn’t expecting me to get home as early as I did and he was being super sus he JUMPED out of bed and was naked and just said he was super hot I was like …. Weird?

Avatar

The fact that he’s doing it is weird, but the fact that he’s lying about doing it is even weirder. My mind would go a million places. Because wtf are you doing that you need to do that?

Avatar

I was honestly considering it and putting a hidden camera and leaving the house on purpose but is that like super invasion of privacy lol

Avatar

right? It’s literally just pointed at the bassinet it doesn’t show the room or him at all so really he’s disconnecting it for the audio so I’m thinking he be on the phone with people or something?

LMAOOOOO

That is really weird. Is your baby home with him when he’s doing this or is he home alone?
Hidden cameras for sure, at that point I wouldn’t care about his privacy. He’s acting suspicious.

I second getting a nanny cam! if you find something and then it causes arguments I’d just go on to say I wanted a back up system bc ours seems to be faulty! If you find nothing then you don’t have to keep it

Avatar

yea I leave with the baby, if he’s with the baby it doesn’t get unplugged

Oh weirddd

So he jerking off to porn while you gone or something worse

Avatar

It's gotta be him pleasuring himself but if it's the kind of relationship where that's normal for him to do in front of you I don't understand the need. Well i suppose i do actually, it's like quite an intimate thing where you don't want to risk someone hacking into it or baby overhearing youuu listening to it lol. I'd probably turn it off if I was gonna get myself off too lol

Avatar

It's not even about the noise it's just like, that's the babys equipment and he's having a non baby experience over there haha adult time.

Avatar

So he called me after I sent him a text about it and he said he disconnected it bc of all the notifications he said since the baby isn’t here he didn’t see the need to keep it on .. I mean makes sense but still weird that it’s the second I leave the house? I acted like I believed it I just said oh that makes sense so he doesn’t start acting different but I’m gonna put the nanny cam.

Avatar

when we do the deed I just face the camera away bc if someone hacks I don’t want video of it lmfao and he doesn’t care that there’s audio of that so I think it’s something he doesn’t want me to hear not about others hacking.

Avatar

We need an update when you have the nanny cam results

Avatar

This is superrrr weird and the naked thing. I don’t know id be paranoid. I second getting the nanny cam.

Avatar

If someone was doing this they would get one chance to stop before I threaten to send the police over

So strange.. he could just be masturbating and is embarrassed that you could hear, or it could be something more extreme like neglect. Does the baby ever seem distressed when you come back?

Avatar

Girl im sorry but this is weird id put another cam where he don’t know and see for urself. Or I’d say i was leaving, stay behind a bit and see what’s happening, then catch him in the middle of what he’s doing.

Avatar

^^^ do what she says “leave” and when he unplugs the cam wait like 10 extra minutes and go back and be like oop forgot something to see if he’s doing something also get a nanny cam

Avatar

he is the police 🤡🤡🤡

Avatar

oh no the baby is never with him when he does this the baby is with me

Avatar

Oh thank god!! But still very, very odd

Avatar

Lol, sounds like just jacking off to me, who wants a baby cam listening in on that 😂 this is assuming there is nothing else suspicious going on...but if it was me and my partner who I totally trust was doing that I'd not be worried.

Avatar

he’s cheated in the past so I don’t totally trust him that’s why lmfao

Avatar

This makes me so uncomfortable just thinking about it! It’s not normal so go get that nanny cam ASAP!!!

Avatar

I ordered the nanny cam!

Avatar

I got a pen camera hopefully it’s not noticeable

Avatar

Hella sus girl this is giving me anxiety I remember my bd pulled this on me twice my mind was all over the place but I ended up getting a nanny cam too..he still doesn’t know I got it 🤣

Avatar

which kind did you get?

Avatar

because why would I jump to get a divorce and do that to my son without knowing anything for certain that’s a very rash decision to make my son grow up with divorced parents over a trust issue

Avatar

tbh haven’t thought that far 🤣🤣 but I think if it’s just him jerking off to porn or whatever I’m not gonna care, but if he’s on the phone talking to other girls or something or bringing people into our home that’s when I’m gonna have to figure out how to go about that

Avatar

she can just get rid of the camera once she’s found out what’s going on. I’m sure she will know what to do next without causing a fight or argument. The camera is to gain evidence of his suspicious behaviour, you see it as toxic and others see it as trying to save her relationship. Leave the judgment to yourself.

Avatar

so nothing about this guys behaviour is dodgy to you, you consider this normal behaviour? That’s why I see your questions unrelated and judgmental.

There’s nothing wrong with having your own opinions about the situation but she’s just doing what needs to be done. How would you bring up something like this in a normal conversation if he’s not opening up about the situation and giving straight answers?

Avatar

it’s the fact that he turns of the camera as soon as she leaves like why can’t it wait? You’re not thinking very much.

Avatar

I’m not being rude or aggressive in any way, I’ve just been in a similar position so, these are questions that go through my mind through experience. So that’s why these questions come to mind. So sorry if you think I’m being rude or aggressive but I was not trying to come across like that.

Avatar

I don't know if there's any true harm in setting up the nanny cam. She has tried asking him, she has caught him acting suspicious and he's basically denying everything. He had his chance to come clean and explain himself. Like OP said, if it's just that he's masturbating and is paranoid about the camera being on then there's no harm and she'll take it down and it gives her a bit of peace of mind but if he's cheating and there needs to be further discussion he can't deny and gaslight his way out of it. He's already broken the trust by lying and denying. The nanny cam would be a quick and easy way to either diffuse the situation and give OP peace of mind or start figuring out next steps if divorce truly is the answer.

Avatar

Some people find it hard to trust in general but that doesn't mean we should jump to accusing our partners right away and make it their problem every single time they do something we find a little suspicious but is actually super normal. It's normal to not want a camera on near where we are masturbating if we know that someone could check it at any time from anywhere even if that person is our spouse. I'm not saying it's a great option but it's better than projecting our own insecurities onto a potentially innocent person.

Avatar

So I thought baby was home and he was turning the camera off and that to me was a huge red flag and would make me hide a camera somewhere.
We don’t leave our camera in 24/7 and only turn it on when baby is in her bed.
It’s strange he’s lying about turning it off.
I don’t think I agree with hiding cameras to watch him when he’s on his own but not knowing why he’s so secretive and lying would drive me insane.
Have you tried just asking him outright if he is turning it off because he’s masturbating? If that’s the reason, it’s absolutely fair enough.

Avatar

It’s weird for sure. Judge Judy says if it doesn’t make sense, it usually isn’t true. And his “reasons” why it’s getting unplugged don’t make sense. Something is up.

Avatar

I did last time actually when he jumped out of bed and was being weird I was like you don’t need to lie you can just tell me if you were masturbating I really don’t care there’s nothing wrong with that and he swore he wasn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️ after he just ran to the bathroom for like 30 minutes saying his dick was hurting idk how that happens but I also don’t have a dick so idk but sounds like a lie 😂😂

Avatar

that's just me being optimistic. Not all porn is created equal and not all relationships are cool with porn. But I certainly agree with you that it is probably something worse.

Avatar

I have the one on Amazon that’s like a alarm clock .. I saw that little pen one but it was too many mixed reviews about it not bringing clear or having clear audio.

Avatar

The thing I don’t get is if he’s unplugging it to watch porn, why go to the trouble to unplug it just to be in the bedroom, why not just watch porn/jerk off in another room? Seems odd to me

I. Am. INVESTED!!!

I've finally done it

I have finally done it. I have finally become the trope, the stereotype.

I have become bitter, resentful, and very overwhelmed and overloaded. I am very unhappy and hit burnout. And I snapped at my husband last night. I work full-time, and work has been very busy so im working late a lot. Im also in grad school. I also have a toddler that has become VERY clingy with me. My husband works shorter days but commutes, so he usually gets home after me by an hour or more. When he gets home, he usually heads to the restroom for at least 30 mins when he gets home. And now my toddler doesnt want anything to do with him. So im doing all the toddler duties until bed. I dont get 5 mins to myself. Not for almost 2 years. I finally hit my wall. I have also, somehow, become my MILs medical ride service and she somehow has an appt every week, it seems?! Shes not sick!! My husband was complaining that he needs to change routine to fit in a workout sometimes, and I lost it. I have been BEGGING for 5 mins to myself for months. I have been telling him how im not good, im going to burn out for months. And between his attitude and him complaining (which really got me b/c he blames me for not being able to work out?! Saying I need help when he gets home so he just cant workout now) I just lost it completely. I told him how unfair my life has become and I have the entire mental and emotional load and it is just not fair. He got mad at me and said "hes trying" when hes literally not trying at all. What do I do?? No one is taking the load from me! And im done and dont know what to do now.
I do not like this version of me.

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.

Cheating 😭

I cheated on my partner of 3 years the other day, our baby is nearly 2. I feel completely awful about it. It was not a planned thing, just an in the moment situation. No excuses or justification, it was wrong. He knows exactly what happened and it’s hurt him so bad. I really want to make it work with my partner and he does with me. We’re so young and in our early 20s. I’m just so worried things will go wrong. Has anyone else been able to make a relationship work after infidelity? 😭

Avoidant husband

I love my husband and he is a good man. We have some issues in our relationship however, as he has an avoidant attachment style (finds romance/intimacy/being emotional difficult). This comes from him having to be independent from a young age and having quite an abusive mother.
The issues in our relationship are mainly around a lack of sex and intimacy. I think the problem is that to feel turned on, I need to feel connected and wanted. My husband (being avoidant) will usually make jokes about being horny whereas I would want to have someone make me feel beautiful/sexy to get in the mood.
It sounds terrible but I've sometimes had dreams about exes that would make me feel this way, and the romance we had (eye contact, intensity, deep words). It makes me feel really guilty but I feel like i'm starved of that. My husband would like a lot more sex but I can't always force myself if I'm not feeling it.
We've spoken a bit about therapy but I know its often really expensive so we probably wouldn't be able to afford it. Do you have any suggestions please? I know that neither of us are wrong in what we want, just different but I'm scared about whether we can fix it or if we're doomed?

Big vent!

Hi mums.
I'm a first time mum in my 40s to twin boys.They are almost 5 months old and the biggest miracle in my life!
I am struggling!!!
I'm pretty sure I have ppa as my pregnancy was a very high risk and all I remember was crying from anxiety of all the ifs!Thankfully even born at 35 weeks and skinny,didn't need iu time.
My husband is not helping much because he's always too busy with work.He will "look" after them usually between 8pm-12am so I can have a chance to sleep.
He expects me to just sleep when I touch the pillow,even though I hear tje babies crying and him don't really bother because most of the times he'll be on his laptop working.
When I tell him I can't relax to fall asleep because I feel you r neglecting the babies,he says I'm the problem becauae I'm always there with them and don't give them alone time!!
I am angry!!I am furious!!
I can't keep.up.with housework becauae someone alwaya neess me and most of the times they nap I either cook and clean tje kitchen,do laundry or try and take a quick nap.
He doesn't help.around the house,becauae..guess what?always super busy.
I asked him nicely we could clean the house together every Saturday morning so it's easier and quicker for both of us and he said no,because he has a lot of work but probably wants to sleep until 12 or 2.
2 days ago a button of his coat ripped and I told him I'll sew it these days.
Earlier this morning while running late for his work,as always,he weara the coat and told him didn't get the chance to fix the button and sarcastically said..of.course u didn't!!!
I spent all night awake because one of the babies had congested nose and we've been trying to reduce one fees at night.
I wanted to punch him!!He left and I started crying...I cry so much,even at 5 months pp...
I can't go on like this anymoreeeee...
The crying in my ears is constant..my head is always numb..I've gained so much weight and can't find the strength to get back on track..
Even if I try to.find a therapist to just talk,is it gonna help?I really don't know😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
