My induction day 🤣

Avatar

For my first, the day he was born (he was 3 weeks early). Second, born on the Saturday, I finished on the Thursday before. I wanted to work for as long as possible before they were born so my whole maternity was with them. I was lucky I had pretty smooth pregnancy’s and both my babys were small so I wasn’t uncomfortable

One week before my due date ( was also booked for an induction ) then I gave birth earlier so just two days after my last day at work

I started at 32 weeks, I work hospitality (kitchen) and I couldn’t cope anymore, I was exhausted and in so much pain I could barely walk home (10 minute walk) after most shifts so it just wasn’t worth it, I was supposed to leave at 36 weeks but spoke to my boss who agreed I was better off going early

About 3.5 weeks before due date :) gave me time to just relax and do any last min things

Cheating husband

Found messages on my husbands phone of him dming multiple women towards the end of my pregnancy and even just 2 days after I gave birth to our second child. Honestly, it’s put me off him and I feel sick. Nothing can justify this scummy behaviour! So whilst I was birthing OUR child and going through all the changes he was just trying to get his leg over???? I confronted him and he said- we were in a bad place and you had said you wanted a divorce. LOL, the gaslighting is unreal! Because now he doesn’t want to give me a divorce. Little cunt

I'm so lost

My husband had been having an affair for almost a year. I uncovered this when I was 3 months pregnant.

My baby is 11 months now, and we have been trying to rebuild. Someday, I think we are making progress. He has been spending family time with us and taking leave from work to be with us more.

However, today, he was upset about how I speak of his family. I got emotional telling him that I can never respect his family after they barely checked in on me whilst I was pregnant because it was more comfortable for them to brush his affair under a rug and not face it.

He became so cold and horrible. He told me I always deflect whenever he talks about his feelings. He said him being upset has become about why I'm now upset. I don't disagree with this.

However, what upset me was how he was acting towards me. He swore at me, told me to stay in my room, and told me I'd never change. He then proceeded to send me a long message about how I take no accountability, and he can't be upset because he's done worse . He swore at me while holding our baby. He then shouted at me while we were out. I was crying, and he told me to sort my face out before I got out the car while I was in tears.

We never ever argue in front of our baby, so today has been difficult for me seeing how he was being in front of baby. He seemed to have just lost it. It's not a regular occurrence, but I'm just so lost. I can't leave him because I stupidly love him.

Has anyone been through something similar or knows anyone who has? Any advice?

Looking for mommy friends 😊🤞

Hey everyone! 💕 I wanted to introduce myself. I’m 21 years old, I have a 5-month-old baby, and I’m new to North Carolina!

I’m looking to make some mommy friends to chat with, FaceTime, go on park playdates, or just get out of the house together. I’d love to have people to share advice with, have meaningful conversations, or even just vent and gossip a little—we all need someone to talk to sometimes! 😊

If you’re looking for a new mom friend too, feel free to message me. I’d love to get to know you! 💗

Do u think being overly sexual is a sign a man is bi or gay/still in the closet…

I keep hearing and seeing post from gay men or straight women who have been left by gay men. And honestly I’m concerned 😟

Sex Toys and Sex Drive

My boyfriend 34 states he needs a fleshlight because he has a higher sex drive than me. He bought one 1 year into our relationship and hide it from me. It didn't fit him so he publicly wrote a review and then threw it away. Now that I found out about it years later he said he had one with his ex and used it everyday. He said he didnt feel guilty about the one he ordered with me it was more so not meant to be.

He does not like me using vibrators of my own because he said I will get burned out and not want to do anything with him.
Looking back now when he bought a fleshlight and hide it, he wasn't able to cum during sex. He kept saying he doesn't need to cum all the time, he rarely cums during a blow job.

Im not sure how to feel at this point, im a mom of 3 boys working cooking cleaning to maintain a house and pay bills. He works pays rent and Masturbates every chance he gets.

I don't think my drive is less than his I just feel if I don't initiate anything he rarely does and turns to buying a toy instead and blames me for it.
