I ask my butler

My sister was a full time nanny abroad and they would make food for her and she was free to eat wherever she wanted

When I was a nanny for a family I would bring a packed lunch. They always said I could help myself thoughš
Hi guys! Just need advice. This has just been bugging and I have a weird feeling about what happened.
My husband usually tells me if he has lunch at work or some activities at work. But this time, he only said he'll be home late. He did not say he went out with co workers or anything relating to it.
When he got home, he usually talks about what happened at work etc. But last night he did not say anything.
So he did not eat a lot of dinner last night when he arrived. I asked him the next day. Why did he go home late last night. He just said he was drinking with his co workers. Then expanded nervously that his coworker is moving to a different job hence they went out.
There's so many things going on in my mind right now. And i feel a sick to stomach thinking I don't trust him anymore. Anything he will say will probably be a lie. I just can't do this. I feel like leaving him cause I just can't live with nit trusting my husband. The sad thing is I have 2 kids and i dont know what to do.

I work 3 days per week and my mum/dad has him as theyāre retired.
He starts reception in September 27, so I thought it would be good to get him used to being in a setting so enrolled him into nursery 5 days per week 9-12 (they wouldnāt let me do any less days due to there funding)
As I did want him to go just 3.
He keeps saying to me he doesnāt want to go as he doesnāt know anyone and he feels scared & itās breaking my heart! But Iām scared if I donāt send him heāll struggle going to reception as itās a big change???

What do you guys do for toddlers? My son just turned to and we donāt have a yard as we live in a town house. We go outside on walks and let him play with his water table and he runs and plays with the dog. My husband works from 12pm-10pm but from 5:30-10 is when we do walks, dinner, play, bed time. I just feel like lately we havenāt really done much during the day I want to get more organized and have more of a routine with him. What or how did you guys start that? Is there any calendars or devices to help be more organized. And what activities or learning activities do you follow??

My husband and I have a pretty significant age gap, and lately Iāve been questioning whether weāre becoming disconnected because weāre simply in different places in life.
Iām currently pregnant with our second child. Going into this pregnancy, I honestly thought it would bring us closer together. Instead, I feel farther away from my husband than I ever have. Most days I feel more like weāre roommates, parents, and people managing a household together than husband and wife.
There isnāt one huge event that caused this. Itās more like a collection of things over time. Weāve had issues surrounding trust, boundaries with other women/social media, communication, and my own insecurities. But underneath all of that, I think my biggest fear is that my husband wants something more or different out of life that I simply cannot give him.
The problem is that I donāt actually know what that āsomethingā is.
Sometimes I wonder if he even knows. Other times I wonder if he knows exactly what he wants but doesnāt have the communication skills to tell me. And then there are times when I wonder if Iām creating an explanation for his distance because I donāt understand it.
I donāt expect marriage to constantly feel romantic or exciting, especially while raising children and preparing for another baby. But I also donāt want to spend years feeling like Iām simply coexisting with my husband.
The age difference makes me question things even more. Are we experiencing normal marital disconnection during a demanding season, or are we discovering that weāre at fundamentally different stages of life and want different things?
I love him and Iām not looking for people to immediately tell me to get divorced. Iām trying to understand what can actually be repaired.
For people who have gone through a āroommate phaseā in marriage: what helped you reconnect?
How do you get a spouse who isnāt a strong communicator to actually talk about what theyāre missing or wanting?
And if youāve been in an age-gap marriage, did the difference in life stages become more noticeable once children, responsibilities, and everyday life took over?
