Husband advice

So me and my husband been together 8 years have a 3 year old. We’ve had several chats where I’ve said he feels like he doesn’t love me. He says he does but just doesn’t love me or fancy me the same as the beginning. He then broke down apologised for saying it and begged me to not leave him. He wrote me the cutest apology letter explaining how he loves me and would be lost without me and he’ll do everything to fix us. I said I need change. I need the cuddles, the kisses the appreciation. I said if I don’t get it, we won’t have another chat I’ll just leave… It’s been a week and there has been NO change, gone back to complete normal. What should I do.

I would give him more than a week to see if things changed. But I would tell him, "I want to see changes in a month" or however long you want to give him. So that he's fully aware of the timeline.

Remind him of the ultimatum. He said he’d do anything to fix things. Tell him to prove it. Tell him you need him to treat you like the love of his life and not just some stranger roommate.

If he changed for a bit, but has gone back to how he was that note was a love bomb. If he never changed I’d bring it up.

Obviously it depends on the type of week it was & if he actually had an opportunity to truly show these things, but you told him straight up that there wouldn’t be another chat, so don’t let him make a liar out of you too. I would personally take the not trying as an indication of his true feelings, so I’d make it easy for him & just leave, like I said I would, bc to me that’s what he’s saying he wants, I mean otherwise he would’ve done “anything to keep you” just like he said. Sure he might suddenly change his mind again, I mean I’ve heard the dating pool isn’t kind to men these days & men are very emotional creatures & tend to fear loneliness the loudest, my ex actually made me a mix “tape” during his love bombing, he was 32yo, not 12, I swear.🤣
I stupidly fell for it, even though I thought it was ridiculous, got pregnant, let him move back 2m after the split, he did so so for 9m & it was over for good when our son was 2. Took him 11yrs to get another woman to stick around.

Honey in stir fry

My baby is 10 months old tomorrow and was accidentally given honey soy flavoured pieces of steak in a stir fry. I know not to give honey under 1 but didn’t realise the flavour packaging was honey soy and I feel so guilty!

Should I be worried? What should I look out for?

Is this a lot of help?

Sometimes I don’t know if I’m ungrateful and I do have a lot of help with baby or if I am mostly doing it on my own.

Just me during work week and my brother will come every other weekend to take her on a walk/play with her. My mother in law may come once every few weeks for a couple hours to watch her, or if we go round to her she’ll play with her or make us food.

My mum may watch her once every couple weeks for a few hours as well or she’ll come round to our house and help us do a tidy up or the laundry.

Need to ask explicitly for this so I try not to ask too much as feel burdensome, but still grateful they do it when they can. Otherwise just me and baby and husband

Who’s guilty?

So I was washing the dishes in my kitchen, and I have a window right in front of me. ( it’s a zebra curtain so it stays up for some light).
Anyway, as I am washing I looked out to see someone staring at me. So I started staring back, and then looked away ( as I finished washing). I then went back few mins later to wash more bowls as my kids finished eating. And looked outside and she’s passing and staring at me again! To the point she’s walking away, and turning her head back to stare and this time giving me dirts??

How to put weight on a toddler

So I have a very active 16-17 month toddler, he eats 3 meals and snacks but he has twice been technically underweight by the baby nurse, he is in 9-12 months cause they fit him and anything older is way too big, so any tips or advice would be helpful, he is very active from morning till bedtime

Would you be upset?

Typically my husband gets up and leaves for work before me and the kids are awake but I’m pretty sure he usually leaves our house around 6:30. The place he works at is about a 35 minute drive and opens at 8 but he goes in a bit early and starts at 7:30. This morning me and the kids were up at 5, he left for work at 6 so he was there and hour before his early clock in time.

Idk I just have been feeling lately like he doesn’t actually enjoy spending time with us and it’s honestly been making me sad.

University

Has anyone completed a masters whilst having a 1 year old? Or baby of similar age. Thinking of returning to uni, not sure if it’s a good idea…
