Is he right?

My bd has just not been there or present. My daughter is 10 months old and he's only helped me finacially with about 3 things all that I asked for repeatedly because i wasnt working still so i didnt have the money, we were together during that time, besides that nothing. He sent me $25 yesterday after a month ago when i asked him if he could help me out get some diapers because i didn't realize i only had like 3 more left in the box and i had a week till i got paid, he's seen her once in the last 3 months, and maybe about 20/30 times since she's been born, never for more tgan about4 hours, besides when we wete tg hed stay the night ince a week, so like 20 hours those times, so we got into it but i just want some opinions
i didnt respond but I just want some opinions on his first text during the argument.

He is absolutely NOT right. I saw my dad only on weekends (when he felt like it) when I was a kid. And it was a constant stress and pain in my life. When I stopped seeing him altogether, it didn’t hurt as much. To this day it hurts, but at least I don’t have my dad coming into my life here and there just when he wants to prove something or make himself feel good about himself. Him being in and out of your daughter’s life will be harder on her than not having him at all.

wtf is his problem? I rather have no dad than an inconsistent dad. It’s not good on your babies growth either. I’d just go to court for child custody tbh

Why don’t you meet in the middle and ask him to do one day a month to keep the contact low, easy and consistent. Eg the first Saturday of the month.

Ask him to bring supplies with him to leave with you on that day but don’t count on them. Then he doesn’t feel like he is giving you his money and he doesn’t feel cut out but be clear if he misses the date he can’t pick a new one that suits him.

It’s just - okay no problem see you next month not re-arrange. That’s all that would happen in an official court arrangement.

Not random days here and there to suit.

I’m a sahm and take pride in being a momma.

Baby daddy issues.

I just need to rant.
Me n my baby daddy have been together for a year and a half and we have a 4month old child and he has his 5year old child that we have full time. I’m not trying to complain by any means because I’m thankful I’ve been able to be a SAHM the last 4 months n I get that thrown in my face constantly moral of the story I go back to work this week and i ultimately feel lost and not myself and my baby daddy doesn’t really help matters I do everything with the kids he takes his son out with him when he goes somewhere but I’m always stuck at home with the baby because he goes n does things that a toddler can do but a baby can’t. He doesn’t spend time w me or the baby and I feel like me n my child aren’t wanted around but anytime I have tried to leave him (bc he cheated in the past idk if he still is) he’s told me he will get full sole custody of my child n I don’t think that’s fair to me when I haven’t done anything wrong. Also anytime I ask him to watch the baby while I shower (15 mins max) it’s always “I’m tired” or “I’m dirty” he has not changed a SINGLE dirty diaper he’s fed the baby twice and that was in the hospital after I had the baby and he’s only held the baby and played with the baby 6 times max, I just feel like me n my child aren’t wanted around here. I just feel alone and I’m not trying to complain bc I don’t have things hard and someone always has it worse than me but me n my child get no attention whatsoever from him and anytime baby cries he just yells for me and doesn’t even try to calm the baby down.

Sexual desire

Ok so I’m curious about your opinion, so is it valid or should I say, acceptable if your husband has sexual desires towards women (which to men it’s normal because they are visual creatures), and so he fights that desire by having intimacy with his wife.
Would that be hurtful ? Or unacceptable? Like would you say he shouldn’t feel sexual desire?
