Need advice

My baby is nearly 10 months old now and I’ve been having issues with my husband since then. I want to split up but he is refusing to giving me the divorce cause apparently I can’t afford the mortgage by myself and loves me. Plus I’m in the end of my maternity leave leave and I’m not sure how I will be back and taking care of my baby. So I feel like I’m such a bad place with no solution for myself.

Any advice would be much appreciated

My hubby and I started having issues the day baby came home. We have a 4 year old toddler that I am the bonus mom of. She wasn’t adjusting well at all. I tried to have multiple conversations about it with him and unfortunately it took me telling him if things don’t get better I’m leaving because I cannot do this. We implemented routine changes and stuff and that has helped. It took a lot of talking and arguments to get to the point we are at now but it has helped. If you guys aren’t able to have these conversations at home about each other’s feelings maybe a couples therapist could help. If you truly no longer have any love left for him in your heart then unfortunately divorce is the only option and you’d have to leave your home to find something within your budget of being single income. You’d also have to be able to afford daycare unless your job lets you bring in your kids. You could look at daycare jobs and see if they offer a discount to employees but unfortunately they don’t pay

I’m trying to figure some things out for myself

Do you genuinely like touching your partners penis? Of course I’d hope you want to please them but like do you want to and crave his penis? Or is it closeness and general penetration?

Having my daughter made me hate my career

I am 2 months postpartum (10 weeks) and I return to work tomorrow. My daughter is the sweetest baby girl, she is so easy to care for, breastfeeding has been a breeze, she barely cries, sleeps well, and smiles and giggles soooo much! I love spending time with her throughout the day but being a SAHM isn’t in the cards for me/realistic. Before her, I loved my career in ABA working with children on the spectrum. I’m a year away from finishing my program working towards my BCBA. It was my passion, and I loved it. I was great at it. But the idea of leaving my daughter brings me to so many tears and emotionally I cannot handle it. Prior to starting work I went places alone for a few hours (appointments; hair, nails, etc…) and I legit was itching to get back home to her. I have a lot of mom guilt about being away and missing things with her. I’m crying typing this just thinking about it. I know I have to go back to provide her a better life but I just wanted to know I’m not alone in that, and if resenting work/my career is normal in this stage.

I now want to be a SAHM 😩🤔

My daughter just turned 4 months. She's the cutest little button and I cannot stay away from her too long. I'll have separation anxiety. I was supposed to return to work after my six weeks (May 15, 2026) but I extended it and is supposed to return back to work on the 17th of this month. Im literally freaking out! I might extend it longer but I need money to support my family. Im a police officer and that alone freaks me out due to mandatory overtime. Idk I have a big decision to make. In only 2 weeks 😩
