I need to vent

I’m happily married and my husband is an amazing dad but he works a lot, leaves as soon as we wake up and gets home after she’s in bed. His days off are Sunday & Monday, I work Monday so he has our daughter while I’m gone. This leaves only Sunday to do family stuff, go to church & have some alone time for myself. That being said, I don’t actually get my alone time but my husband does, he doesn’t understand that I’m needed 24/7 even in my sleep bc I’m exclusively breastfeeding. I need a few hours of autonomy where I can have me time that isn’t at night when my daughter goes to bed. Last night was Pascha so we were up late and my husband wanted to go to 11am vespers, it’s now almost 4pm and I feel guilty for asking him to come home but he gets to do whatever he wants… what about me??? When do I get to do what I want? When do I get to have hobbies?? I love my daughter and love being with her all day but I still want to not be needed for a few hours.

One and done - “It’s lonely IN TODAY’s SOCIETY”

So this is what my husband said to me this morning.

We have a 6 week old and I was just talking to the baby and saying you’re all I need we’re complete now etc which I did 💯 mean as I don’t want anymore.

My husband then said it’s not 1980 where people actually talked and had conversations in shops or with their neighbours. In today’s society it’s lonely being the only child because it’s hard to make friends and communicate with people today.

I wasn’t expecting that at all. I feel like he took his time to explain this to me and it really made me think - does he have a point?

To be honest we have a neighbour she’s lovely and recently moved here. She has a 6yr old. She works long hours as a nurse and her parents basically bought up her son BUT her mom just passed away and now she feels lost and honestly doesn’t know what to do with him or how to entertain him. Just makes me think..

What to do?

My husband has been getting upset so much he was in the process of leaving work so I was giving him the benefit of the doubt with all the stress and just let it be….
He’s retired now and home with us now but his anger is just on another level. We literally can’t even get in the car and go anywhere because everyone is always wrong to him and he’s the only one that is doing things right and thinks….
We got in an argument today and he left per usual he always leaves when he gets really upset and usually always comes back with something for me (soda candy etc) I feel like he knows once he cools down he took it too far but idk… could be wrong since he thinks he’s the only one to be right.
I’m just so over his attitude towards everything not to mention the helicopter parent he is my kids can’t even be kids because he thinks the worst is going to happen it’s just exhausting…

I know a lot of you are gunna just hop on the comments and say leave I’ve seen it suggested a lot before so I was hesitant to post this and just be told to leave… but it wasn’t always like this and when we’re good we are good I just don’t know what to do at this point.

When is enough or too much? This can’t be what a marriage looks like is it?

Help I am so overwhelmed by my toddler.

My toddler cries constantly if we are home and I am not holding him or playing with him or he has my immediate attention. My husband tries so hard sometimes but I am so overwhelmed. I need to leave the room. A lot. Sometimes it turns into hours. I don't enjoy spending time with my son when hes that clingy. I also hate feeling like that. But hes heavy and I am small and I am exhausted and need a break. I am drowning. Baby will be 2 in June.

This our a few things my bf has problems with or thinks it’s okay way to teart me

My bf seems to think I should be able to run on empty if I want till late at night to do something I am in the wrong he thinks I should have the house spotless when he gets up I can’t have everything looking nice within only 3 hours of being awake I am not going to use my whole day up with cleaning I will do a few task a day with engery I won’t do it if I am empty I have our son to take care of on top of that so someone’s if I start a task if my son needs me I am going to drop what I am doing if if that means that now I am doing something at 3am instead of in the afternoon I don’t just jump out of bed and start my day like he does I am going to share my day with having as much relaxing time as I can and then I will do what I can as far as things that need done I am not required to only do the required I am allowed to be able to relax yes that makes things go slower and I also won’t clean the toys off the floor during the day I leave that for when the baby goes to bed if I can remember other wise they get dragged back out but in his eyes I am being lazy I am not doing eaugh I am a bad mom because the way I spend time with my son is from the couch I am a bad mom because I give my son something easy to make when I cook when I get up I am I bad mom because I can’t do everything to his expections and he’s thinks he’s above me he thinks he is the only one fulfilling the baby’s needs and I am contsenly battling not being able to leave the living room because if I do my son thinks I am leaving

My Husband is Leaving Me

I’ve been with my husband for three years and we been through hell and back together…We have been homeless together, living in other people houses, starving together and we both got back up together…He has put me through a lot emotionally and mentally and I still stayed even when he has done things that were deal breakers…And now he wants to leave me he said he don’t feel the same about me anymore and that he’s burned out from me being stuck in the past from the things he did that hurt me and that he’s tired of the arguing…I’m devastated I’m so heartbroken 💔 he put me through so much shit and I stayed only to end up being left at the end…I’m thinking about how am I going to get over this and how this divorce process going to go…I’m in shock and I don’t want to believe that my marriage is really over it hurts….
