..... divorce or marriage counseling?

2 kiddos, no DV, No cheating. Financially we are okay, slowly moving up in physical stability. However emotionally and physically we seem to hate each other. To be honest I cannot stand him anymore. I spent the whole time giving myself to my newborns, then to him. He can't even tell me I am pretty, or appreciated, or.... anything, besides argue and diminish me. I cannot stand him.

He hasn't been evil.


Do I do therapy (which will be its own fight)
Or just start paperwork?

Went through this in 2024/2025. Just divorce. We tried the counseling and everything. If you already feel that you can’t stand him you deserve better. & you will find better. I moved on and found someone who makes me 110% happier & now we have a beautiful baby girl. I wasted 2 years trying to get him to put in effort that my current partner puts in without me asking. He showers me with compliments , doesn’t make me stress over bills, helps with the baby etc.. makes me wonder why I stayed in an unhappy marriage for so long.

You're going to be stuck co-parenting until the children are 18, then there's no guarantee that anything will improve.. if there's any chance of reconciliation, you should at least give a serious attempt at it.

Missing him

My husband and I had been married for 2 years now. Honestly it’s been HELL. Nothing abusive. We got married one month after dating so you can imagine how that’s going lol. Right now ? We’ve been on bad terms since August !!! It’s march 😭😭😭 he trying but it’s not good enough but I miss him so much ( he’s always away , navy) but as soon as he gets back the fight continues bc it never freaking ended. We’ve barely spoken for 2 weeks and every time he leaves we have a big fight the night before 🙄🙄🙄 I miss him bad but hate him all the same time. I want to stop being sooooo angry with him but I feel like if I stop it will show that I’m not standing on my boundaries 😒😒 he’s been pretty much underway since August… and still isn’t done yet 🤦🏾‍♀️ won’t be until next month… Jesus. Any military spouses ? How in the fuck can you deal with anything when they aren’t even here 🙄🙄🙄

How would you react to this? I'm sorry if this triggers people.

So my son has a disability and a small developmental delay. About 6 months ish. His consultant is absolutley fine with his delay and he is doing really well considering where we was 12 months ago.

My colleage keeps telling people at work and making public comments that she thinks my son has Autism and should be tested based on xyz (whatever reason she's willing to give at the time, it varies)

I have the same disability as my son and I have had it for 24 years. I know my son isn't Autistic and he just needs time to adjust to this constantly changing disability. He takes medication which contributes to the developmental delay.

Im more hurt that she is telling people at work that she thinks my son needs more help than he's already receiving. He is absolutley fine at the minute and I wish I could tell her to f**k off because I will most likely get sacked. She also tells people she has a disability when I know damn well she doesn't. She makes horrible jokes about people with mine and my son's disability and I cannot stand this girl!!

Our children go to the same school so her son tells her about how my son is developing and how well he does in class so she is getting her info from her child.

How can I tell her to do one without getting myself sacked??

Please help

I’m using speak to text so I’m sorry if the words are wrong I’ll try to fix it as fast as I can however, I wanted to talk about my brother-in-law. I don’t know exactly what to do. He doesn’t respect that. I’m a stay at home mom and he makes little digs and comments and says that it’s a joke but we all know he’s not joking and my father-in-law says nothing to him and my husband says nothing to him to give my husband credit though I’m the one who told him not to say anything however what really hurts me is that his father won’t say anything he’s been very supportive of me being a stay at home mom but my brother in law is one of those guys who hates women and uses his mother as an excuse, but my mom has done way worse to my brother and my brother still has never treated woman the way that my brother-in-law has what should I do?

Husband not helping around the house

How do you ignore or take your mind off the fact that your husband is lazy not doing house chores? Yes he pays the bill whatever but it fucking doesn’t sit right with me that you are exempt from house chores just because you pay and all. I’m tired! I’m agitated every day
