If my husband's friend wife is disrespectful to me should he stand by me as his wife and tell them they're wrong ?

They want our kids to hang out, and if she doesn't like me I don't want my child around her or in her home. I don't want to be in their home either.

The problem is my husband still goes over to their house, and they want our child to come over. They hold holiday events, and am I not supposed to go if my husband and child go over there ? She has tried to set him up with one of her friends before .

She tried to set him up with one of her friends? Oh hellllll fuckin no 😤

Why isn’t your husband standing up for you?! He can keep his friendship with her husband, but as for going over to their home with your kids, ain’t no way! He should also tell the wife what a cunt she is too just so she knows why they don’t come over and also that her behaviour is disrespectful to you and he won’t allow it.

If he still keeps the friendship with the husband, their home should be off bounds and they only meet at other outside venues.

Tbh if I was your husband, I would also be rethinking the relationship with the husband too because why hasn’t he said anything to his wife about how rude and disrespectful she’s being?

Yes. he is out of line imo. Your spouse ideally should be the priority to everyone else in your life if anyone is a threat to or doesn’t respect the union they ought to be dismissed immediately . No one should supersede the union for the longevity of the union to be sustainable

I'll say it really depends on why. If she's disrespectful because you started it and haven't sincerely apologised, in his head you're the problem and you shouldn't have brought his friendship in that situation.

Also if you aren't the nicest to your spouse, they might want to help him by getting him away from you. I watched my wife my abuser recently and I'm definitely straying away from giving blanket rules as if everyone is perfect in a relationship.

If she started it and you've been a perfect wife in every sense, he should stick by you and rethink his friendship. I wouldn't want my children there either in that case

My husband said he's been feeling distant with his friend but he still reaches out to him.

@Stella I'm nice to my husband, we've had our up and downs like every other relationship. But I respect that answer. And I don't think I started but maybe that's why I should reach out.

Thank you for replying, that's a relief to hear 😅

If you are the same OP as on another post I've seen with you reaching out 3 times and her not replying, I would leave it at that.

I'd bring all my concerns to my husband and I'd want him to deal with it whichever way he sees fit (if he'll talk directly to the wife to call her behaviour out with the friend present or if he'll talk to his friend and say he won't be coming over unless she talks to you to share the reasons behind her behaviour and hopefully an apology if she's been trying to introduce him to other women while you've been together).

Adult relationships are tough and I can see why he'd stick with him if that's his only friend at this time, no one wants to be lonely... But also if he accepts them treating you this way, I can't imagine that friend having much respect for your husband, so how much does he really gain from this relationship? 😵‍💫😥

Yeah he should absolutely have your back, regardless of whether he agrees with the situation or not. My kid wouldn’t be going over 🖕🏼 and neither would my husband.

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😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
