Husband divorcing me today

Filing papers to divorce me today for his birthday.

He always liked to ruin every holiday. He has never had any sympathy for me. I am just a baby making vessel to him.

He stole all my ideas and got my dream job and now he is abandoning me and our son.

It hurts so bad.

I dont want it to happen. I want my married with children happy life.

He treats me so badly though. Like an appliance.

I know he would cut me loose in an instant if I was sick or elderly and of no use to him.

Why do I keep wanting him? He love bombed me so good in the beginning and I deeply long to go back to that time.

I have an old love letter from him and he told me the colors were brighter because of me.

Now he hates me.

In the beginning I sacrificed nothing but I was young and new.

Now I have given up everything and gave him a child and he treats me like scum.

You will rise above this. This will work out in your favor. You should be able to get child support. I’m sorry you’re going through this, but it sounds like it’s for the best. Sending hugs and good vibes your way.

Hey, sending love. Divorce seems the best to happen in your situation you deserve to be loved and respected, so is your child needs to have his mom happy. You are hurt and don’t want that bc you are still attached of the idea of a false him that he showed to you bc he’s just a sad narcissist pervert. They only take joy in life by hurting the other. Him asking divorce willingly is the best thing that can happen, it’s hard now but you are gonna be free to live the life you deserve. My mom lived 19y with a shitty narcissist pervert and even after her escaping at last he still blocks dicorce matter and after all this she has nothing as it took all her life.
Don’t waste yours, divorce is gonna make you free to have what you deserve, you deserve to be happy, respected, loved.
He is jalous of you and hurting you is his only way to feel a little happiness. He manipulated you to make you think he was someone else and you are just still attached to this idea but soon you will feel better

Situations like this remind me of the saying ‘cutting off your nose to spite your face’. Rarely does divorces do justice to any sides of the relationship especially when it’s not due to violence or adultery and now that he has kids with you. It won’t be easy on him and I guarantee he will check up on you and/or harden his own heart where he will be easily irritable with life. I observed my male family members that really shouldn’t had divorced over stressful of arguments with their wives and instead should have worked through it.

i’m sure there are things you and your partner could work on to make your marriage work. seek wise counsel. don’t let your ego become inflated like his ego.

Please advice

Since when did cheating become so normal that everyone expects the person who got hurt to just accept it?

My family isn’t even talking to me. My dad shouted at me and said, “It’s not a big deal. Why are you reacting like this?” His family and friends keep telling me, “Forgive him and move on for the baby’s sake.”

What about me?

Am I supposed to switch off my feelings? Am I a robot? Does my pain not matter to anyone?

Everyone keeps saying, “Forgive him.” Why? For what? He hasn’t admitted what he did, he isn’t sorry, and he hasn’t even apologized. He’s acting like he hasn’t done anything wrong, yet somehow I’m the one being expected to move on.

What am I supposed to do now? Pretend it never happened? Live like everything is normal? Smile while carrying all this hurt by myself just to make everyone else comfortable?

Why is all the pressure on me? Why isn’t anyone asking him to take responsibility? Why am I the one expected to sacrifice my peace, my self-respect, and my feelings?

Yes, there’s a baby, and I love my baby more than anything. But why does caring for my child have to mean pretending my heartbreak doesn’t exist?

I’m exhausted. Not just because of what happened, but because everyone seems more interested in protecting the person who caused the pain than the person who’s living with it.

Pre school nursery.

My daughter is 15 months old and she is due to start nursery for two mornings a week soon, however I am extremely apprehensive about it! I hate the thought of her getting poorly and I hate the thought of essentially strangers looking after her. Does anybody think it’s actually really important that she goes? We don’t need her to go from a child care point of view and developmentally she isn’t behind at all so I’m contemplating not sending her but I was hoping for some advice and some thoughts! TIA x

Stay at home mama

Hey! I recently became a stay at home mom. My husband encouraged it and I thought while she is young this would be prime time to do it.

Here’s things I’m struggling with and need advice or suggestions on how to over come them

- finding time for myself
- not making my own money (I’ve never had to depend on anyone for money)
- cleaning routine (we used to have a cleaning lady once a month) I feel I could do this but it’s hard with a crawler on my hands —or am I making excuses
- I’m still pumping 4 times a day (I’m ok with this I just feel I am still scheduling my day around pumps)
- I recently told my husband I would like to go to a workout class on Tuesdays and told him I wouldn’t go every Tuesday and he said have fun and suggested I’d be taking baby to (this was for me to have me time) I told him I wouldn’t be taking baby


Thoughts suggestions
Please be nice as I’m newly negativing this

Pronouns

I became friends with a mum on here I have 2 daughters 5 and 3. And her children who were born female 5 and 3 as well. We met up everything was good , something happened on the playground and my daughter came to report to us saying “she hit me” the mother said my child isn’t a she , my child is a they , you shouldn’t assign your child a pronoun before they can decide. She was quite annoyed and angry when she said that.
I was shocked because I’ve never met someone who has new pronouns. I let it go my daughter came back and reported the same thing and the mother says the same thing and began teaching my daughter about pronouns and that my daughter can basically decide whether she’s a “they them etc and said all the pronouns available” I decided to end the friendship because l don’t want my children to learn that kind of thing just yet and I’m not really into that per say.
What would you do was l wrong

Would you let your child miss the last half day of school ( uk
Mums).

He’s in year one. I am stuck as there’s no breakfast club or after school clubs as it’s the last day

Daycare just venting

My babys 2.5 and shes been going to daycare since late May. At first she only cried for me but she started liking it a lot then she randomly started hating it and then she got sick and was out for a week. Now last week she was back and she hates it. She cries bad the entire day, I thought it was because of another new baby who cries a lot. But its to the point where she will see me pack her blanket or we get up early in the morning and she starts freaking out and screaming horribly. She will even randomly think about it and start crying. I dont know what to do anymore
