My husband is leaving me to “find a better woman”

He says he’s going to trade up and find a woman who is better than me… he thinks he’ll find someone who can cook and clean better, be ready for sex 24/7, and not have opinions and just sit there silently all day.

He called me horrible, horrible names… he said I’m an embarrassment to our family, and all I do is humiliate them by talking to tell much. He said I’m a disgusting and nasty woman with nothing to offer him, and all I do is hold him back. He said he deserves a woman who works as hard as he does, and still maintains the home and kids by herself and is ready for sex at bed time, and wakes up wanting it too. He called me a whore and a bitch. He said I’m crazy and unstable and everyone hates me. He listed people we are close to (friends and family) and told me these horrible things they allegedly think about me, and how everyone tells him to leave me because he’s too good for me.

He didn’t come home last night… he went to his brothers house, and sent his brother to come get some of his things.

I feel completely blindsided… the night before he held me and told me he loved me and didn’t know how he got so lucky to have me. He told me he would give up everything for our family, and he thanked me for giving him the only family he’s ever known. When I pointed this out to him he just laughed this cocky laugh and said “things change.” I asked if there was someone else, which made him really mad, but he insisted there wasn’t. He said it’s all me, and I just suck so much he can’t stand the idea of spending another day with me, even if it means losing his kids, because I make him miserable and ruined his whole life…

I just don’t know what happened. I cried all night and just begged him to come home and talk to me, but he won’t. He says he’s weak for how beautiful I am and knows he’ll go back on his word if he sees me face to face, but he’s allegedly always hated me as a person and was just keeping me around because all his friends were jealous he pulled such a hot/attractive woman, but now they realize it’s just because I’m a psycho. (I swear I didn’t do anything leading up to this. It was just a regular day).

I feel completely shattered. I feel so insecure and sad and like I hate myself. He pulled at every single lose thread I had, and now I’m just unraveling and tattering all over.

Also, I pull my weight. Our house was my premarital asset. Both cars are in my name. I make three times his income. I am solely responsible for house maintenance, paying the bills, and child care. I cook every single night. We have sex nearly every single night. The house gets a little messy, but I’m working 50 hours a week and I never get time to myself, and the only thing I ever ask him to do is take the trash out. The dinner thing is because one night I got home late from the kids soccer game, so I made stuffed peppers for dinner and they weren’t homemade (they were stoffers), and he flipped out that I fed him slop. I served it on rice with homemade garlic bread, I just was tired and needed to feed my family… I busy my ass every day, and never complain about it. I just silently take it and make sure my family is happy. And now I feel so broken…

I looks like you were already pulling more weight then him and he’s insecure about it. He’s not going to get whatever he needs from a woman in general.

Teething hack

Thought I’d post this here because I’ve not met a single person that knows this exists. Either my friends and family live under a rock or it’s simply not common. This anbesol liquid (specifically the liquid) has saved my life. As soon as I put this on my babies gums it instantly works. He handles teething so well, not been an issue for me at all. I keep one in his baby bag and one in the house and never leave the house without it. It’s only suitable from 5 months I think. Hope this helps 🩷

How do you feel about having your in-laws for five days in your home when your newborn will be 1 month old?

Hi all, my mother will come to help me after and before the birth for few weeks while my in laws would like to stay with us for 5 days or a week when the baby will be around 1 month. They are really nice people but I don’t feel comfortable living with them for few days while I’ll be still recovering and likely breastfeeding hence I’ll be with my breasts out most of the day, and being super uncomfortable, without having enough space and privacy. Plus my toddler will be home with a babysitter for a while and it might become overcrowded. Am I over worrying? I obviously don’t have the same issue with my parents but my inlaws they might struggle to accept they are not welcome in this delicate phase, especially because they are coming after one month and not immediately.
Any advice? My friends don’t really get it because they live with their parents nearby and do not have the issue of having parents abroad that must stay with you when they come to visit you because a hotel would be a crazy option to propose.

Meal ideas

Good morning!

I’m really struggling for meal ideas for my little one. She has both a dairy and egg allergy and I feel like every meal I make is some form of pasta or orzo 🫠 any ideas would be amazing

Not looking for snacks or breakfast ideas as we kind of have those down, but lunches or dinners are where I’m struggling

Need to vent

Does anyone else feel completely alone, even though they have a partner?
I love my baby more than anything, but lately I feel like I'm doing this on my own. I'm the one taking care of the baby most of the time, and I'm exhausted. My partner thinks that because I'm on maternity leave and he's working, I should be the one with the baby all the time. We don't even live together yet, so it makes everything feel even harder.
I also have a son to care for, and some days I honestly feel like a single mom all over again. I just wish I had more support and for someone to understand that being home with a baby isn't a break—it's exhausting too.

What does your cleaner charge you for oven clean/ fridge / dishwasher etc ?

Or what do you charge as a cleaner?
Do you charge ontop of your hourly rate ?

Solid food

Anyone else managing to get their little ones to eat solid food? My little one is 10 months and only really eats purified food and gags if I try to give him more solid food.
