Doesn't want me traveling at night to go to the gym and even broke up with cause he feel I don't listen to his advice. I said I wanted to cook dinner and he refused saying he's good. Then we talk otp for like 40 mins and he's like if you wanna come then come now. Clearly just for sex and I want it but he only said that after I said I wanted to go gym

Is the gym in a dangerous area and he’s worried about your safety or what’s his reasoning

I don’t think you should quit the gym bc he doesn’t want you to go. Maybe he’s self conscious and thinks you’ll leave him for someone else?

He's being so controlling girl, this isn't okay. He broke up with you over this? But expects you to come running back and submit to what he says?
You dodged a bullet. Block his number.

I dunno i think that’s red flags already he’s already showing his ability to be controlling. I can go gym at any time I want if I want to, I’m a big girl I can take care of myself and esp if it’s somewhere/something I’ve already been doing a couple months already and it’s ingrained into my routine, who are you tell to tell me no? If it’s somewhere new/ and or a time I’m not usually out or the area is questionable, then his concern is valid. But if it’s not?? Then I’ll do me thanks.

Thats actually pretty considerate… given the circumstances. He could say “whatever.” It is pretty dangerous at night to be taking the train and going to a gym. I saw footage of a women who was attacked in the gym… luckily she was able to fight back. I seen women attacked on the train. The world we live in now is unpredictable and people are unstable and if he is adamant in warning u it may be Gods way of communicating with you that something may end up happening if u dont stop. My family members dont like me out late either. If you are going to go… maybe make sure you have mace and something to defend yourself… maybe text someone when u leave and make it there and back.

You mentioned in a comment that he's worried about you taking rhe train at night for safety reasons and I understand that. However, he was gonna have you take the train at night to his place? Thats just as dangerous (unless the gym is in an unsafe neighborhood).

Nah, you don’t put up with someone who threatens break ups when you do something they don’t agree with, communicate & compromise when applicable, but that’s so manipulative. Oh & it’s ok as long as you’re going to his place to have sex, but not ok just to do something that only you want to do, who does he think he is. 🙄

I clicked no by accident. It seems a bit controlling to me…

So are you guys together or no? Did you take him back after he broke up w you coz he feels “you’re not listening to his advice?” Coz that line will come up again later in another issue when you stand your ground again and don’t “listen to his advice” again. If you haven’t gotten back w him, great- leave it at that I think you dodged a bullet. And if you did I assume that that line will come up again and he’ll threaten it again and that bullet will do a Uturn lol. He sounds like a controlling hypocrite. He doesn’t want you go to to the gym but wants you to go to his house which frankly is further than this gym. 😵💫 Makes no sense.

Hun, he's terrible. He's manipulative.
I have been where you are. You're probably already trauma bonded. But girl... please....when you've wasted years with him and you have kids together and you feel trapped and hopeless.... you will WISH you left him, right now, in this moment.
You can choose a better future. You deserve a better future. Even if it means heartbreak now, please choose yourself.

there’s controlling then there’s being worried.
Any recommendations would be great, going down to Cornwall for a couple of days and would like the option of staying at Grandparents etc

I need help please! I am overwhelmed and sad. I am currently 17weeks pregnant with my second child amd my Son is 3 years and 10months old. He goes to nursery 3 days a week and over the past 6 months, he was said to have been exhibiting challenging behaviours such as hitting people, scratching and screaming when he is upset at nursery. He is different at home but when he's upset, he just cries at home. In nursery, he refuses to share toys or anything and hits at the slightest provocation. No one hits hum at hime so I don't know why he has developed such behaviours all of a sudden. His nursery manager has made us reduce his hours to 2 hrs 30 mins per day which is so tight for me as I work full time. I have tried talking to him, teaching him about safe hands and setting boundaries but nothing at all had changed, i don't know what else to do at this point. His dad (my husband) works far away and comes over the weekend, so there's only little that i can do. I need help please, any suggestions is welcomed.

Has anyone got any suggestions of activities to do whilst on maternity leave?
We do swimming once a week and try to go to a play group as well as going for walks.
My LO is 8.5 months old and I’m getting fed up of being in the house as much as we are, so I’m sure my daughter is too!
We’re in Worcestershire area so any ideas/recommendations would be much appreciated 😊

I felt like my boyfriend was hiding something (again) and I checked his phone, I found lots of porn websites in his search history. I feel like shit, I feel like I’m not enough to anyone. He was never like this and I had a higher sex drive all of a sudden he needs more..
we’ve split up before and he said he started watching it then.. I’m 3 weeks postpartum and we’ve been intimate since and it breaks my heart knowing I’m not enough even tho I made sure his needs are met. I swear any other man would appreciate it, and I do take care of myself so why can’t I just be good enough? Everyone says he’s punching and I could definitely do much better than him, but I just wanted to work things out with him so much no one else mattered to me ever. How do I cope with this?

My daughter is 11 weeks old almost 12 weeks. She's shoving her hand in her mouth. Sometimes half, sometimes the whole hand. It causes her to gag. What do I do? Could she be teething yet?

Anyone using baby food pouches? I'm just wondering how bad they are as I had googled and it says it's not advisable to use these regularly. I find blending a small amount of food after steaming and pan frying them, takes so much effort and time if I do these by myself from scratch.
