Would you be mad? If so, what would you do/say?

Maybe it's just my pregnancy hormones that's making me so sensitive, but I'm really upset.

My husband's friend lives with us (long story) and tonight I cooked fish curry.

I made it in a rush because my husband was on the way home and I was also extremely exhausted from the kids and cleaning a ton.

Anywho, when we were eating dinner he kept smelling it before even tasting it, then a few minutes pass by he finally tried it and had the audacity to tell me to my face that it wasnt tasty and he will only eat tasty food.

He didnt eat anymore after that.

He told me last time I made it, it was really tasty and the gravy was thick, but this time it was watery and it wasn't tasty.

Maybe its a stupid thing to be upset about, but I love cooking/baking so much plus I am pregnant and super emotional. My love language is cooking for my husband and family. So it really hurt that he told me that....

He made dinner last night and it wasn't good, but I still ate it and didnt say a word because I am respectful and didnt want to hurt his feelings.

Wanting to break up with partner or is it just postpartum

Hey, I’m 3 months post partum with my first baby and I feel like I’m having the same conversation over and over with my partner. He works shifts 2 days & 2 nights , so when he’s working I’m looking after our baby 24/7, I don’t get to eat or shower etc. I have no friends and families aren’t helpful so I don’t see anyone. I don’t leave the house unless it’s to do the same walk around my estate every day, or to go and buy baby supplies. I do all the housework, I’ve asked for his help numerous times but if I don’t do the job it won’t get done. I get very little sleep whilst he gets 8/9+ hours . I am fed up with waiting for him to be on days off so we can leave the house and we never do, we do a food shop that’s it. I’ve said several times and nothings changed. I get no ‘me’ time to do anything to make me feel better about how I look , I’m struggling and I feel done with my relationship. Is this normal? Are these feelings real or am I just struggling postpartum and being too sensitive.
I feel like I’m not appreciated at all, I have sacrificed so much and I’m struggling mentally all I want is to be able to do my makeup to feel better and leave the house so I’m not staring at the same 4 walls all day everyday. Am I the problem ?

MIL drama post partum

Am I crazy at being offended at this? My MIL and FIL came to see their new grandchild who's two weeks old. They're thankfully staying at a hotel, but my MIL is coming over everyday (for 10 days) while her husband works from the hotel. They want to take my husband out to a fancyish($40/plate) dinner without me or the baby. If we went on a weeknight we'd be in an empty restaurant. I mentioned wanting to come with the baby and my MIL got offended. She wants "time alone with their son" and "the baby would ruin the mood". She's already getting a few hours with him alone everyday, is taking him shopping without me tomorrow afternoon and he's already gone out to the shooting range with his dad. Am I overreacting to being told I cannot come out to dinner? They offered to bring me back food, but I feel so disrespected that they're making this visit all about time with their son.

How do you do this alone

I’m 5w PP and have been staying at my mums for the last week and a half. I intend on staying for the next 3 weeks and go back just before baby’s check up. At home, I’ve had so much support from my family where sometimes my baby doesn’t even feel like mine 😂. I keep thinking how I will manage on my own with looking after a baby, myself and the home (esp during the day when my husband’s at work). For those who are or have done it alone - do you have any tips?

Who is in the wrong?

I work half the week, then look after my 2 year old son for the rest. My partner works full-time and sometimes weekends. When we have his 12 year old son (half the time) I'll often look after him too. I've not really had any time away from my son since he was born, aside from a day I booked off work while he was at nursery a while ago.
Recently I've not had any time to myself, even at night I am the one putting my son back to sleep when he wakes because he'll cry for me.
Me, my partner and my son were sitting at the table the other day while my son was eating and my partner was watching YouTube videos with his headphones on. I told him that I feel lonely because I'm on my own with my son a lot of the time and then he isn't present when we are together.
Today I got my son ready for nursery as usual, went to work, collected my son from nursery, came home and a couple of minutes after I'd come through the door my partner told me he was going to the gym with my step-son. I told him that I didn't realise he'd be going out now (as he finished work around 2.30pm) and made a comment that I "can't catch a break". He got annoyed and said that he can never do anything for himself without me having an issue - he was home alone app of this weekend while I took my son to my parents, and is about to go away to visit family this weekend while I look after the children. He said that my time for myself recently was when I got my nails done while my son was sleeping in the pushchair...

Is it time to leave?

Me and my partner have been together almost 5 years and we have a 2 yo.
Lately I find myself so unbelievably angry at him just 24/7. I use to look at him with so much love and respect and now I just can’t stand him even on a good day. I’m forever having to clean up after everyone in our house, remember appointments, bills, groceries, plan what happens and when. I have to give a complete step by step on how our day is looking and what needs to be done. Little things piss me off but I bite my tongue because I don’t want to fight in front of my child; (I had a colourful upbringing where adults would fight in front of me and it terrified me.)

I have tried multiple times to have conversations about pitching in or just taking over because I live in a state of constant burn out. I have done since our child was born. Even after childbirth, I went right back to the cleaning and taking care of things when I should’ve been resting and bonding with my newborn - and I had stitches! I often look back on that time and feel so unbelievably robbed of bonding time with my new baby. He didn’t bat an eye but he did bitch and moan about how tired he was. I brought this up in an argument once and his response was “why didn’t you just ask, I would’ve done it - I’m not a mind reader” WTF? But when he does finally decide to help out, it’s like he’s looking for an award or recognition, like congrats - you did the very basic things that most adults/parents do. What???

Don’t get me wrong, I adore my child with every bone in my body and would do anything and everything for them but I’ve not had a chance to just be a person outside of being “Mummy” in a long time. My wants and needs are so off the radar that I have no idea who I am anymore. If I see an opening to do something for myself, his wants or needs come before mine and he just ends up bringing our child to me anyway.

I just feel like I’m bringing up 2 children rather than 1 and I’m sick of it. I’m sick of having these conversations which lead into arguments. I’m sick of not being able to rely on him, I’m sick of waiting for this to pass; I’m just sick of my life at this point. He gets to up and leave and live his life and I have to sit back and just carry the weight of the world; he puts us in awkward situations and I just have to deal with it but it’s okay because he’s “sorry”

I can’t do this anymore.
