Both of us work full-time jobs, thankfully we both leave for work first thing in the morning and have his parents to watch the baby. By the time I get off work it’s 5, then he goes and cooks while I get baby time since he usually manages to get out early. After that, we eat and watch a tv series, followed by him showering then me later. Then there’s chores and other things I need to get done around the house or just adult-wise in general.
With all that said, he’s been getting upset with me this week that I’m constantly on the go, trying to complete tasks. He wants more intimacy (not even sex necessarily) and it makes me feel like I’m being a shitty wife and mom not pouring as much time directly into him and the baby. But if I stop doing all the chores, it overwhelms me and everything feels chaotic. I don’t know how to win here and it’s kinda breaking my heart…

So me and my husband got into a big argument on Wednesday. He chose to sleep in a separate room and not talk to me for 2 days. Today I approached him to make it good and he went off again yelling. Yes I was wrong and I took accountability for my actions and apologized, but he haven't and won't. Anyway. On Saturday we have a 7 day cruise. Me, him, baby, and him mom. We are all staying in 1 room. It's all paid for and excursions paid also. Now, if this is how it is now, do I go? He doesn't speak to me, like how do I go and enjoy this? Like if don't go I would cost him 3,500$ since the baby will not be going either. Like I'm so torn. I don't want to make this worse, but at the same time I don't know if he's willing to make it good. Help! What should I do

If a family member's partner was going through a hard time and went to kiss you, you moved and they immediately apologised and seemed very remorseful, would you tell their wife? Their wife has commented that her life would end if they weren't together, he otherwise treats her really well and they have children together.

I have no one I can talk to about this so just gonna post here. I’m really struggling atm mainly financially as in I have £0 and I’m running low on food in the house and I can’t find any help and I’ve asked my family but they’re all too busy eating out and telling me they’re skint to help me. I don’t expect help but it just hurts to see it. I just feel awful for my kids because they don’t know how bad things are and my local food bank is shut atm and there’s nothing I can do. Just want to cry. I’m just making sure the kids eat and I don’t care about myself at this point.

Husband was in the bathroom and his phone was vibrating, went to check it and something said go through his texts & lo and behold this man is cheating on me! I look the #s on cash app and they all ugly! So now I feel unwanted and am I ugly to him? I know I fell off but I’m stuck in a house with 6 children, just had a baby last October and now I’m 9 weeks pregnant now. He says it’s nothing but these texts says otherwise! You supposed to be fixing cars and you out here servicing females in another way…no wonder he never have money!

Husband and I are supposed to be staying overnight with friends 2hrs away tomorrow. My mom will have our toddler.
We got into an argument the night before last. He’s been at work (works 24h shifts) so we haven’t had time to talk everything out. I was VERY upset and even told my mom I just want to take my daughter and leave. Things don’t feel resolved. Should we still try to salvage it and go?

Hi, we’re sending our daughter to full time nursery once she turns 9 months and I’m terribly worried that she will struggle. She’s currently EBF, won’t take the bottle and feeds to sleep, has become extremely clingy. Has anyone sent their baby to nursery at the same age? It’s a great place and I can see the children there are happy, but most are rather around 12m+, with a few little ones around our daughter’s age.
