Bf Advice

So me and my bf agreed for some space as the relationship wasn’t really progressing. I’ve been very supportive about this as I know he can get overwhelmed sometimes.

But I can’t shake this feeling that he wants this space to slowly start pulling away from me. I’m 25 weeks pregnant and I’ve moved temporarily back to my parents for the extra support. But I just feel like he doesn’t want all this. I want to propose a day this week to talk about where we stand.

What is the best way to approach this? Or how do I start a conversation about how I feel without letting him feel like the bad guy??

After me and my partner had my daughter we weren’t really working alot of resentment going from 1 to 2 kids started happening and we agreed on space it was hard we fully did distance we obviously had to talk and be around eachother for the kids but we didnt touch eachother or go near eachother without reason this was eye opening and weve only just reconciled after 6months we are in a such a better place now.

Sometimes we all need space if we are overwhelmed definitely talk about the end goal with the space and put check ins occasionally to see where u both are at x i wouldn’t come in saying you think he is trying to pull away as he might shut down but ask an open ended question about why he’s overwhelmed and what he wants to get out the space x a new baby is hard, if hes worried about becoming a dad he might be trying to avoid reminders of the worry x my partner was worried for our second considering if he would bond and he wasn’t talking to me about it because i was pregnant and

Finally discussed divorce with my husband

I had my baby on July 17th and today I finally brought up that I want a divorce. 3 yrs ago he asked for a divorce and I said no. And we have been struggling since. My baby just turned 1 month and I find myself having to deal with my husband neglect and dismissal while recovering for c section. On top of that , he s constantly talking to a female coworker on the phone via text messages. During his paternity leave, we don't talk most of the time. He just does his own thing and leave me alone and sad. I would love to connect with a mom who's going through divorce. Thanks for listening

How does your partner touch you?

My boyfriend refuses to touch me at all since our daughter was born 8months ago. We have sex ONCE a month when he can't sleep, but it's just in and out. No foreplay or touch. He also doesn't touch me in any other way. Nothing. Is this normal?

Sex

How do people manage sex after a baby?
I've managed once since baby was born and that was at eleven months
We are either too tired, too many other things to do or sometimes baby is on the bed (cosleeping) and have to keep an eye on him or he wakes up and has to be rocked back to sleep
So sex is at the bottom of the list
I feel like something is wrong with us when I hear how often other couple are doing it!

Any Moms Who Love Talking on the Phone? ❤️🙂

I’m a mom of three girls (16, 14, and 9) in Orlando, Fl. I’m 38 and turning 39 next month! 🎉

Any other moms here with teen girls who love to chat on the phone or send voice messages?Texting is great, but sometimes I just want a friend I can call or send voice messages to talk about life with!

Life is busy, but I’ve really been hoping to make some new friends who are in a similar stage of life. 🙂 Between teenagers, kids, marriage, work, and all the everyday chaos, it would be nice to have some mom friends to laugh and chat with along the way! 💕
