Opinion

So, Ive brought up several times to my fiance that I’ve been in a relationship in my past that was unfaithful and was cheated on/had a lusting bf. There’s been several deep convos we’ve had about our past and just some things we fear. My biggest one is cheating and has been brought to his attention several times. He always reassures me, and obviously I trust him so much. Well, a few times I’ve talked about it I’ve noticed he kind of dissociates and I think it’s odd but don’t think much about it. He told me once that when him and his ex wife were divorcing and in the filing stage to it being official, he did mess around with someone during that. Anyways, I’ve asked multiple times if that’s been the only time or anything and he’s always said yes. Well, last night he had a drink and seemed to have the liquid courage maybe but he told me he had something to tell me and hasn’t been fully honest with me and while his wife was out doing stuff with others I guess, and they were going through a bad time, he got super drunk at a wedding and ended up sleeping with someone that night. While still married. He said she was doing the same thing and it didn’t justify his behavior and shouldn’t have done that and told me he’s been wanting to tell me this for MONTHS but just has been afraid to and couldn’t figure out the right timing but wanted to tell me before we got married. He’s worried I see him different, which I don’t. I’m so in love with him but I did express my concerns like hey, “if we ever go through a really bad time in our marriage or you accidentally get too drunk is that what you’re going to go out and do” considering I’ve been in the position of being cheated on. He pulled me closer and looked me in the eyes and said “I would never do this to you. That wasn’t me back then and I am so in love with you. That wasn’t who I was and I would never even think about that. You are the woman of my dreams” and I DO believe him. Seriously. But at the same time…. I’ve had a pit in my stomach since last night.

Please tell me if you were in my shoes what you’d think or feel? Would you just say no biggie and move on, or have different feelings? I want other woman’s opinions on this

Me personally I wouldn’t care bc it didn’t happen to me (if I were in your shoes) if y’all trust each other so much let it go

I can definitely see your concern, but sometimes people have to make mistakes to really learn from them. If he seems genuinely remorseful and has grown from it I’d say you really have nothing to worry about. It’s a little bit of a red flag that he rationalized it by saying “well she was doing it too”, but that might just be the shame talking. Most importantly he can’t rationalize him not doing it again because of how amazing YOU are. That puts too much pressure on you to stay his “dream woman” when in reality that’s just not realistic. The change needs to happen in HIM. Not “I wouldn’t do that because you’re so amazing” but more like “I wouldn’t do this because that wasn’t a good representation of my values and I’m embarrassed”

How would you handle this?

My daughter fell down a flight of stairs today in school. She asked to go to the nurse but the nurse was on lunch when she went. She was never sent back and she came home from school limping. She's 7. She was crying in pain and then I have her some Tylenol and an ice pack and she's been running around and doing cart wheels and horsing around with her sisters and seems fine now. What would you do? Not sure if I should leave it alone or what

How would you feel about this? My neice (persian) who is 4 has a bit of a mustache (not that noticeable but from close up you can tell) and my brother keeps asking her why she has a mustache! Shes 4!!!

Shes at that stage where now shes noticing her body even more and it breaks my heart. My sister has fought with him about it but he still does it. They both live together. His wife just smirks and shes a psychologist. I need advice because its pissing me off

Nursery

Hi my daughter left nursery last year to start school she had been there since she was 9 months old. My youngest is due to start there in September she’ll be 11 months old we never thought to look round it as it’s the same manager and most of the staff are the same so thought what would change. But my friend went to look round it today for her son and she said the pre school room was so messy and hectic and she felt like the staff were just watching the children not actually playing with them.
Now I’m in two minds of what to do. Is this ok for a preschool room to be like this? Or have they taken on too much that they can handle (I know they have to have ratios but the ratio is ridiculous)

Bread??

Is it safe to give a 9 month old bread/sandwich? He’s got his two bottom teeth. Even tho my daughter is only 2 I cannot remember if she was eating bread at this age.
