Im considering divorce because I don’t feel like I’m getting enough back & my expectations aren’t being met. Almost 10yrs of marriage (our whole 20s) & 2kids. A kiss good morning before he goes to work & a kiss when he arrives. I work from home a full time job while taking care of the girls. He comes home to a nice meal, pretty clean house, clothes washed. A lot of time he sits on the phone to play games or his computer to play games. He’ll lay down with me when he wants to have sex & then turns around to play video games or scroll on his phone. We haven’t had a date night in MONTHSSSSSSSS. I did have a convo & tell him my feelings about having one foot out the door & very thin ice. He gets upset because I always deny him for sex, I can’t do it if the emotional connection is NOT there. I’ve gotten 2 pair of flowers in the last 6mo & a book for Mother’s Day. I’m not expecting diamonds but make me feel special once in a while. Am I wrong for wanting divorce.

You’re not wrong for wanting divorce, especially since it feels like you’re doing everything alone. It’s good that you’ve had a conversation about this with him. I will say that marriage is super hard and there are different seasons in life the good the bad and the ugly i’m not excusing him for his behavior. I think that maybe getting some marriage counseling would help the situation. Divorce isn’t always the answer when things get tough but I do understand the feeling of loneliness that you feel and I’m so sorry about that if he’s willing to counseling is always a good option and if he’s willing to work it out and get better he should if that is not something that he’s willing to do then that’s a different story. praying that this season gets better for you♥️
My partner got kicked out the room while I was being stitched up during my emergency c section and showed his mum our baby boy before I could even look at him without being drugged up. He’s called me childish for being hurt by this. He said he was crying and that’s why. But wouldn’t your first thought be if I’m okay not to FaceTime ur mum while I’m still in theatre. Was being the first one to hold him not enough? Thoughts?

I guess what i mean is do you have to like them? I dont, i dont like my MIL and i really dont like my SIL ( i do like my Father in law and his new wife)
If you dont like them, is it acceptable to tell your husband.?

My partner and I values do not align at all. while he’s a good father and is a nice guy . he’s also downright lazy and cheap and I come home working a full-time job to a messy house and I’m just having to do everything. I’m exhausted and while I love my baby more than anything in the world and she’s literally the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I sometimes wonder if I had her with the right person. Anyone ever feel this way? Any advice? He also complains that I’m always angry or frustrated well now you know why.

Just curious what other London parents are paying. I want to understand what the norm is - Not sure if I’m being charged too much.
If your child gets the 30 funded hours and attends nursery around 3 full days a week, roughly how much do you still pay per month for extras/consumables such as meals and activities?
Would love to compare as it seems to vary so much between nurseries! Feel free to comment what your fee covers too.
