Distant from husband

Hello everyone, i am after ftm to a 10month old baby boy. I am feeling very distant from my husband for a few months. Whenever i say i need us to spend time together , it just never happens. He always says he loves me irrespective. We are not physical anymore, there are no touches/hands holding etc. Is this how motherhood feels? Every night my body is needed by my baby so much and on the other hand I feel like my husband doesn’t.

Sorry for venting here! But just wanted to see anyone else is going through the same? What have you done to improve your relationship or go back to that loving relationship? it just feels i am only a mother now. Every relationship with my husband doesn’t exist. We both love each other but I don’t know how to bring the love/touch back.

Ps: during pregnancy we barely had sex as it was our first baby and we just didn’t knew if it was safe.

I’m still pregnant, so I can’t tell from the mother perspective/ hormones, but I’d say, first talk to him about your feelings, ask him to hug you (I need it every night from my husband and I clearly ask for it, they can’t guess if you don’t communicate) and start sex! Sex is very important in a relationship

SAHM Allowance

For my SAHM, does your partner give you money weekly/ monthly? What’s your situation like? I just came across a post that said a SAHM has been asking her husband for $50/month and he denies it; I was so shocked.

I can’t be the only one who thinks this is weird?!?

It irks the hell out of me when my husband doesn’t answer my calls because he’s on the phone with his sister. Or he’ll hang up with me because his sister is calling! Also, why is she calling 10 times a day???

Granted- I call my own sister 10 times a day but very rarely I’ll ever call my own brother.

…but that’s not the weirdest part. He has his sister saved as “my princess” on his phone! I’d get it if it’s his litter sister who’s 10 or something. But his sister is pushing forty!

Grandparents watching your child is on your time not theirs

For example:
You: we have plans this day can you watch xyz?
Them: no but I can the next day
You: that doesn’t work because the plans are this day nevermind

Give me your opinion!

Found out I was pregnant same week of my grandmother passing.
But the pregancy i haven't announced as only 5 weeks and had a miscarriage in January
But regarding my grandmother passing *my partner at the time*
Was announcing her death to people that ain't related and tried inviting them to funreal which funreal plans was left with a family member and she wanted only family.
I did call him out for it as grandchildren and great grandchildren was still to find out on her passing he didn't take any responsibility on what his just created he just stated nothing to do with.
Nothing to do with you but was disrespectful enough to try go against her wishes .
One you ain't family either
Two is private information which shouldn't be seen as gossip
And three he shouldn't then of started calling me every name under sun .
His stated I'm a disgrace when his one crossed a boundary.
His gone on to say baby I'm currently pregant with ain't his .
Which let me confirm I had a miscarriage with this lad in January and was forced to go through that alone until the very last minute until I contacted someone close to him.
What would anyone do this situation because I haven't spoken or seen him since crossing boundaries and also I don't wanna give someone access that thinks it's okay to treat a pregnant woman like a door stop.
Like is the type of person I really wanna have a baby with ?
Is the type of behaviour I wanna be putting up with early stages of pregnancy.
Is this the type of person I wanna be sharing any information with since he finds it all gossip.
Someone give me some advice on what they would do in this situation?

Only if you’ve ALREADY given your child a phone. (Pls don’t answer what you PLAN to do) 🤳what age are we giving kids phones?🤳

I’ll make another poll about what you plan if your kids are young

Baby led weaning

Hi! Those, who do BLW, what kind of fingerfood do you give to your baby, that is safe and they will likely not choke on it? Thanks for the ideas!
