Husband secrecy

My husband was vaping til recently when I caught him. He had lied multiple times about it when I’d smell it. I literally thought I was going crazy. He also lied about having a job for 9 months over my pregnancy and postpartum. He had been made redundant and not told me about it. Then spent £6k on a 30th bday holiday for me, told me he lost his job ages ago and he was confident he would get one of two jobs he was interviewing for before he booked my 30th bday holiday. Then after we got back from the holiday he hadn’t got either job so asked me to cover £3k for him. Now I feel like I’ve just paid for my birthday holiday that I never asked for…. I don’t know what to make of this. But any mums exhausted with carrying the mental and financial load over mat leave? Feel like men just don’t have a sense of responsibility, forward planning and just honesty. Like what the actual F

He lied about working for nine months? I’d leave. He can lie that long, who knows how deep it could go.

I agree with Donna. I would be wondering what else he’s lying about! Was he getting dressed and pretending to go to work every day? What was he actually doing instead? I’d never be able to trust him again, I’d have told him to leave. (but maybe that’s just me).

Hi mums! How are we staying fit postpartum? I’m ready to start working out but want advice on how other mums do it. Feel like I can never fit it in other than dog walks. What do you find helps slowly getting back into your fitness ?
Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

I just don’t want sex. HELP

I’m so baffled by what on earth is going on inside my brain/body right now.
I love my husband. I fancy him which is what’s also confusing me. But I’ve lost all interest in sex since having our son 18 months ago. The more time passes the worse I’m getting. Last night I could tell he was getting a bit touchy feeling so before we went to bed I ran into the bathroom and stuck a load of fake tan on so that I had an excuse as to why I couldn’t do it. I made my apologies and he looked really gutted. He never ever puts pressure on me or ever makes me feel guilty or pressurises me into it which also makes me feel guilty that I don’t sometimes just do it. When we’re doing it it always feels really good. So I’ve no idea why that spark hasn’t lit back up for me.

I am tired and I think I had ppd and anxiety for a while (undiagnosed). But things have felt better and lighter for a while now. The only thing that isn’t back to normal is our sex life. But sex literally never ever crosses my mind. It’s like I’ve gone numb to those desires and it’s out of sight, out of mind. We can go weeks or we probably can do it once a month.

I’m a bit embarrassed to chat to my friends about this.

Should I be worried?

Hey ladies!

Just a question here, my partner and I were intimate yesterday. Because I’m not on any type of birth control, by choice we decided to use condoms. TMI we usually don’t but during my ovulation cycle, we do just to be on the safe side. The condom broke yesterday and resulted in him finishing inside. Technically speaking after having a csection they recommend up to a year before getting pregnant again.
My question is, do I have anything really to worry about if I were to get pregnant? Should there be anything for me to stress over?

If I sound stupid, i’m sorry. But my head is full and figure i’d get some advice.

Settle a yoga pants/legging argument

I am being told that the only reason any woman ever wears yoga pants or leggings is for the one and ONLY purpose of showing off their butt to men and wanting to attract attention from men

When is everyone returning back to work?

When is everyone returning back to work? And if so are you going back to full time or part time? How many days and how do you request for flexibility working hours?

If you are a sahm, do you think your partner TRULY understands everything you do at home?

Before becoming a sahm I 100000% misunderstood what it meant and what it took. Now that I’m one I feel very overlooked & drained basically every day. So with that said, I MISS having a career :(.
