Separation

My BD really isn’t shit and as of this Sunday will make two weeks since we’ve been separated. My home is finally at peace but at times it definitely feels weird and me and baby girl just have to get readjusted without him in the house. I feel stupid to even miss him but do I even miss him as a partner or just the extra helping hand in the house. Either way this separation needed to happen I was unhappy and he’ll never admit it but his actions showed, you know when a man don’t want you no more. I’m just ready to get out of this “what could I have done differently stage” and stop blaming myself. I just don’t know where to start tbh. Any advice would be useful to get me out this funk. Thank you guys!

I honestly think it takes time focus on doing things with just you and your little one or things to get you distracted before you know it you won’t even notice he’s not there anymore

Honestly it’s really hard separating yourself from someone you had a strong connection with. I went through this a year ago and it really took me a long time to get over him and the situations he put me through. 1 thing that helped me actually was my kids. They are hell but times I was upset I looked at them and it reminded me of what my purpose was. Don’t let depression define you, don’t let it close you off. It really is just going to take some time, keep yourself busy, try get out of the house as much as you can, make new friends new hobbies and just embrace yourself even if you don’t feel your best, get up slap on a lil makeup do yur hair take some pics and remind yourself of who you are who you want to be and embrace it. At the end of the day it’s his loss!

Tell me this isn't a normal convo between hubby and wife..

Please read before voting cause I'm mega pissed off!! We were having a convwrsation about ticktock which lead to his favourite person (a woman with an Of account & 2 kids under 30 apparently)

Me: well she's young she can eat what she likes and burn it off. When you hit 30, game over (from experience)
Him: not everyone restricts themselves like you
Me: I just don't eat that much
Him: well shes had two kids and still looking fine.. *smirk*
Me: 😒
Him: truth..
Me: wtf!! You can't say stuff like that with that smirk and not expect me to kick off..
Him: you're over reacting again..
Me: any woman would be annoyed..


And so the conversation turned into an argument about him being wrong and said he prefers younger looking women than his 34yr old wife who is a size 6 UK BTW

Are men just stupid or what?? When doesn't he realise that it's not okay to talk like this to people when he's obsessed with ticktock??

Husband is a jerk

Tell me if this is ridiculous.

We took our son to the park this morning because I wanted to get out of the house. My husband is always starting at his computer, he woke up late (it’s a Saturday), I made breakfast, got my son up, changed his diaper, cleaned the kitchen.

We made plans with my sister in law to meet up an hour away to get our kids together. After we get home from the park, we have 25 minutes until we need to leave. I’m packing snacks, feeding our toddler, trying to get everything ready to go while my husband sits on his computer and makes himself a smoothie. I have to tell him to let his dog out and to pack the diaper bag. Mind you, I told him I needed to get my makeup on and pack up my lunch.

He doesn’t care he goes to the bathroom and gets himself ready.

I’m pissed. I’m tired of delegating and mothering. I said we just wouldn’t go. And he says he’s just going to go without me even though I’m the one who wants to get out and see people, packs things up and gets everyone ready.

Am I the asshole or is he?

Weaning

As a first time mum.. I have no clue about weaning at all 😂.
My little boy started weaning today, he currently has 4 8ozish bottles a day. 8-9 am, 11 am - 12 pm, 3-4 pm then last bottle around 7-8 pm then sleeps through the night.
How and where would I put these purées in? Is it time to start extending time between the bottles and add purées in between? Any advice is welcomed x

Can partners actually change??

I have been begging my partner to take me out, Make more effort and be present. He keeps promising but no change I’m sat crying and begging him he says he feels bad but if he felt that bad surely he’ll do something about it. I’ve said I just wanna feel like me all I’m known as since having my daughter is mama and I’m tired of it I’m not noticed for anything I do but he picks up one thing and he wants to be praised I’ve had to sit and name everything I do so he gives me a second and listens. Yet still nothing changes. I’m so exhausted I’m in the house 24/7 with our daughter while he’s in work till 11 at night then will throw on me he’s going for a drink while our baby is still up and fussy then when I shout when I get angry or frustrated I’ll always be the bad guy cause he talks to me in such a patronising way that he things he’s the one who’s done nothing and I’m just crazy I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m constantly planning everything helping with his family’s special occasions and mine while I get crumbs! Am I over reacting?
