No gift party

If your child was invited to a party and the invite said “no gifts” what would you do? I always buy gifts as it feels wrong to turn up empty handed… but don’t want to offend the parents who have requested no gifts ?

Is this ungrateful or justified?

So my partner will be proposing this year, I just know it and we have never discussed what ring Id like. I am jewellery wearer and therefore quite particular with my style - after all I’m guna wear it for life. When I have tried to speak to my partner about my preferences he says I’m ungrateful and says he’s offended I think he doesn’t know me. I’ve even sent him photos of exact style. But then I accidentally caught a glimpse on his camera roll of a ring he’s screenshot and it’s a completely different style to what I would choose. I also know it’s close to £1k because it’s very blingy and I just want to tell him NO don’t spend all that money because the ring I actually want is so minimalist and costs half that money. What do I do?

Does it get Easier?

I’m a FTM. I love my son and I really do love being a mom. I lost my job last November and ever since my family ended up going through homelessness and had to figure things out. We are now living in a new apartment and everything is ok, but emotionally I’m just not feeling it. I’m still a sahm and looking for work but we can’t afford child care on top of that. I don’t really know what to do to help my husband support our small family. I feel so lost and overwhelmed. I don’t really have people that I can talk to let alone relate to as I’m only 22 and most of my family thinks I threw my life away. I just need to know if anyone has any recommendations or knows anything I can do. I wanna make things better but honestly how?

Marriage and other..

My husband asked me to end things with my "fun" side piece. It's over the phone not in person. My husband had approved and enjoyed the benefits from it. But I think due to the other guy putting in more effort and giving me attention -- now he doesn't want me talking to him anymore. Thoughts?

WEDDING RINGS

Let me see your simple-not simple wedding rings. I am getting married soon although I want to go for a simple one(that’s what we can afford now) I want something that looks real nice. Haha I don’t know if I make sense🫶🏽

Contraception

Approaching my 6 week check up with the GP. Just wondering what contraception others opted for postpartum. After my last child I never went on to any contraception but this time I am planning to. I hear so many pros and cons surrounding each choice. I’d just like to get others experiences x

How to set boundaries with partner

So my partner has anger and addiction issues!
I want to lay boundaries down but not sure how.
This has been going on years but I'm finally feeling strong enough to stand up and stop putting up with it.
I feel ive enabled some of his behavior as I mostly let it slide!
