vent pregnancy announcement

so im a little annoyed and maybe being a little sensitive (which ok yeah probably, but my feelings are valid & I feel like I was right)

my husband and I announced to his extended family that we were expecting in a group chat, especially since we had a family party coming up that weekend and the week before when we met with a few cousins, apparently some already knew and were congratulating us before we had even officially announced it, so that pmo. 🥊

I just felt like no one in the chat gaf. yes they congratulated us but then they started joking that this upcoming party was gonna be a cross between a baby shower, grad party & kid bday party. that comment annoyed me.

I felt like people were boasting more about my husbands brother&sister graduations (my husband is the eldest child) then our baby on the way??? I just lowkey dislike his family.

yes I might be sensitive and its really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it bothered me.

THEN at the party they were looking at me sideways for not giving any solid information about the baby’s due date, gender (we genuinely dont know atm) like I owed them something???? 🙃

vent over, thank you for coming to my ted talk

Who’s wrong?

My husband and I go out with another couple. They start venting all their issues. My husband pulls the woman aside because he says my input is escalating the convo. (We had all been drinking).
So he ends up talking to her and I to the guy separately for like 3 hours both sides just airing all their grievances. We all reconvene and discuss some of the things said- maybe 30 mins?
In the car I ask husband “so what dis she say” He goes “who”. I’m now annoyed because who else???? So after I respond clearly irritated he then asks “when?” Clearly when you guys were away from the group! He’s mad at my responses and that I got annoyed. I’m mad he’s asking obvious questions and we fight. He ends up never answering. Next day we’re not talking. Who’s wrong.

I think my partner is taking coke again

So I went through an old jacket of his and found loads of empty bags in it. (I cleaned this coat only a few months ago)
I confronted him and he got very angry and shouted and said he hadn't touched any drugs for a very long time and how upset he was because hes trying so hard and ive thrown it all back in his face (he is currently having counseling for addiction)
What do i do?

Sex in a long term relationship

Is it normal for your partner to barley want to have sex with you, he’s 37 and I’m 27, I’ll admit I don’t make the first move purely because I did it once and he turned me down and it knocked my confidence a lot, we have it maybe once every month or even longer, I do sometimes get in my own head and think he’s watching po*n when I’m sleeping, He’s constantly on his phone till early hours in the morning, He does suffer with MH issues and his body confidence due to putting on abit of weight, it just makes me feel like I’m not his type and I catch him looking at other women when we’re out even doing shopping, it’s always blonde type women too as he has a things for blondes apparently.

What would you do?

What would you do if your neighbour had his lights on every single night and it would shine through your corridor, kitchen and toilet door all night every night? Am I okay for being irritated or should I accept this and not do anything about it? We just moved 2 weeks ago and I wanted to see if it's maybe temporary but its all night every night.

Am i being ungrateful or is it fair enough,?

My husband's parents randomly turned up with a gazebo for our garden.. but I don't want a gazebo..

I know they are just trying to do something nice. But I also find them so interfering... They are nice people but they are very opinionated and not open to other opinions. They very much think their opinion and way of life is the 'right' way. They have always had a gazebo in their garden and I feel like they think everyone else should. But I just don't want one 😂

So now we have this gazebo that I don't want to put up but also don't want to be ungrateful!

Such a small problem I know haha. But there's been sooo many little things like it since we had our first child (14 months ago), and it grates!

Am I forcing?

I’m a sahm mom I do everything around the house when partner is working. Today I made him take our 4y boy to the park since the sun came out, because it has been raining for the past 3 days so we didn’t go out at all. He worked from 9-1:30pm today since is a holiday. He’s tired because he went to bed late because he was playing call of duty even though he knows he’s not good at staying up late, I could tell he got mad but I didn’t care.
We have 3 parks around our house they’re like 2mins in car, maybe 10mins walking but he decided to take him to the one that’s like 10min in car idk why lol.

So right now I’m gonna get ready and head to target and Marshall’s to grab what I need.
