I asked my husband why he married me...

He said it was because I was on the street and to help me. I feel like not loved

I know how you feel although my husband loves me he “jokes” all the time about how I was an adult at my lowest point living with my parents and married him to get out of the situation and for insurance

it's kind of the same but it makes me feel like I have to be grateful to him and not like we married because of love?

this is how I feel. This sums it up perfect

I have a similar situation. My relationship with my husband at the beginning went really fast and we moved in together after 3m. I was in a really bad living situation and he told me that’s why he wanted to progress our relationship so soon

I just remember that he’s still here and happy and he wouldn’t have just done what he did for anyone. He did it for me because he cares about me and saw a future with me

Was he sober when he said it? Mine said that when he was drunk. But I know I definitely improved his life. So it’s no sweat off my back. And if I leave he’ll go back to his sad pathetic self . ( I’m more of a married single mom tho)

My husband proposed to me for marriage but very soon after marriage I caught him chatting to girls on chat websites ( dirty chats). Whenever I check his phone I catch him being in a relationship with girls. Now when I was pregnant he took complete leverage and joined adult sex chat websites for finding girls for sex chat and video chat etc. Even after the baby he is discreetly doing it. I was always on the heavier side, but he liked me for being plumpy. Now he is after other women, when I confront him he says he has compatibility issues with me and cannot stay in the same house. He only says this whenever I catch his extra marital affairs

I am so sorry! If you need someone to talk to I'm here

I saw your pics your family is beautiful

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
