My fiance says he “overheard” my therapy appt

Ever since I had my child (18m) I have been going to therapy because I have long crying spells and huge outbursts that can sometimes end in me throwing things or hitting my head on things which really sucks. I’m trying to work through it some my son does not have to see me like that. This weekend i had my first outburst in over 9 months, so i new
I would have a lot to unpack. As I was talking I had this feeling that he was listening to me. And when I got done he was stand off-ish. I tried to figure out what was wrong but he said can we just watch our TikTok’s in silence. This morning he still seem upset so I asked again he said he heard me talking to my therapist and says I was leaving stuff out about what I did “by the way I was not she has prior knowledge since this is the only therapist I’ve had.” He claims he only heard 15 seconds but imo that doesn’t make sense because how would you feel like I’m leaving stuff out if you only heard a couple seconds. I’m just really upset about it because it’s such an invasion of privacy. And I don’t want to feel guilty about maintaining my mental health especially because I struggle with SH. I think I will jusg do my therapy in the car or at my mom’s house in my old room. Do yall I’m over reacting or should I set the boundaries that he is not allowed near me at all during my appointment

No, I don't think you're overreacting at all, it's definitely an invasion of privacy. I would have your appointments elsewhere because he will always be tempted to listen ,and you won't feel comfortable expressing yourself x

Pram/Stroller Recommendations

Hi!
We currently have a travel system but the seat part doesn't collapse with the chassis and it's becoming a pain to load into the car and store. Any recommendations on good collapsing prams/strollers? I'm looking for something that's good abroad too! It doesn't necessarily need to be another travel system, just anything really! X

Baby sleep

My little girl is 9 months old now and has never been a good sleeper. She is now going through a phase of getting up at 4 am every morning and I try keeping things dark and boring but she is so awake for the day.
She goes to bed around 7pm. Has 2 naps a day. 1 nap - 1hr20 ish, 2 nap - 30 mins ish.
She is a childminders in the day so I can’t control her naps but I wish she would sleep in abit more but feel like I’m just banging my head against a brick wall. Any one else experience and was it ever resolved?

Sleeping position

Anyone else’s baby sleep like this? He can roll back to front but not the other way round but every time I put him to sleep on his back he always ends up like this. I hardly sleep because I’m forever turning him back over or listening to see if he’s breathing. He literally fidgets all night now too

Sleep sack

Hi everyone!!

I’m trying to transition my 12 week old from the love is a dream sleep sack that keeps her arms up to a sleep sack that her arms are free. This is the first night and she has already woken up 3 times within the hour crying ( never has done that)

Any tips to make her more comfortable during this transition?

Her day naps she doesn’t use a sleep sack and is fine.

AITAH or is he?

Husband slept on sofa last night because I was too tired to be intimate (I had been awake from 5am with our baby who had me up throughout the night). This morning our toddler woke at 5.30am and my husband decided to go to the gym at 6am for two hours before work and woke me up to be with our toddler even though I’ve been up every 1–2hrs with our 6 month old baby. I feel so exhausted, he doesn’t do any of the night wakings with the baby. I feel like he’s prioritising gym over my basic need to sleep and then punishing me when i say im too tired for sex. Am I being dramatic or is this a shitty thing to do?

Am I the a**hole?

So our baby is 8 months old, not a great sleeper but I'm not used to waking up every hour/2 hours ever night 😭😂
Basically partner works Monday -Friday 9-3:30 which I understand is still draining, my partner doesn't have to wake up for anything at night as I breastfeed so it's just me that baby will settle for at the moment (I sleep in the same room as baby )
As I don't get much time to myself day or night as baby goes to bed around 6:30pm and I stay with her for the night, sometimes on the weekend I just want an hour or 2 just to relax but my partner says "well I haven't had any time to myself"
But they have from 6:30 until they go to sleep every night plus uninterrupted sleep?!
Am I the a hole for wanting a little time to myself?
