Has anyone put a deadline on "fixing" their marriage?

Did it work out for you? My husband and I just decided that we're giving until the end of our current lease to make significant improvements in our marriage or to just walk away. Our lease ends in June, so it's quite a long time, but I honestly don't see much hope.

Yes, with my ex. There's a point where it's not working and it doesn't make sense to wait forever for changes that will never happen.

I'm not married but I have a boyfriend. At the moment I'm staying with my mom and my boyfriend is in our house. He's struggling with so many things right now and needs to be alone to work out everything. Im not giving up on him just because theres a bump in the road.

You both have to want to work it out and actually give it a shot. Can't be one sided or it'll never work.

@Daria we haven't been, but we don't have the money. I also just don't have the time / energy to plan things because I'm stuck doing most of the childcare and housework- despite the fact that I work full time and he doesn't. And he doesn't plan things - the most he'll do is whine that we don't have plans, or make a suggestion and leave it to me to sort out the details most of the time.

Phone Friends 📱 🧡

I’m looking to connect with some like-minded people who don’t mind talking on the phone while we tackle our to-do lists. I have ADHD, and I find it really helpful to have someone to “body double” with—just chatting while we work helps me stay focused and actually get things done.

If you’re someone who likes productive phone calls, working alongside a friend (even virtually), or just wants a new accountability buddy, I’d love to connect! 💛

Loneliness

I didn’t know whether to write this or not, as I really don’t even know what to do at this point. I’ve been really struggling with the constant feeling of loneliness and just feeling like the whole world is just going past and I’m not even apart of it anymore.

I have friends that I have lost since becoming a mum or even major shifts in friendships. I’ve got 1 mum friend who is amazing and I’m so thankful for her.

However, I can’t help but feel this constant loneliness. I just feel like no one gets it and no one can see it. I try and open up. But no one seems to understand.

I find it really hard to make friends I have done all my life. But now I’m finding it especially hard. I have joined in with baby groups in the local area and yet everyone is already friends or in the clicks. I find when I start conversations it’s shut down very quickly. I just honestly can’t stand it.

Everything is just building up on top of me and it’s really starting to affect my mental health.

Am I weird?

I like the thought of my partner cheating/being intimate with another women. I wouldn’t say it’s a fetish but it’s enough for me to get off on it if I wanted to.

Do I test my partners loyalty or leave?

I don’t trust my partner and I think he maybe cheating. I’ve had my suspicions also things has happened in the past (messaging girls, been on dating sites, only fans etc) anyway I’ve tried going on his phone but his password has changed, I’ve tried having a conversation with him but he accuses me🤯 I’m tired of all this and being made to feel worthless but I also need some clarity…

My question is would I be wrong to ask someone to message my partner and test his loyalty or just up and leave?🤔
