Coparenting and co living
Does anyone have advice on living with your husband after separation? I have a 10week old baby and a 6 year old at home. We have been together for 17 years and he cheated on me throughout my pregnancy and just found out is still talking to the other women. I’m done for sure but how do I still live with him after this?

If you are serious with living you’ll do best to move out or stop living together , the earlier you leave , the earlier your healing….. I don’t know how people separate and torture themselves with staying together..
Move to separate rooms and have a frank conversation about expectations around dividing chores and work and him having new women around. Set boundaries and rules and if you can’t afford it, go to a therapist to have the conversation
Kick him out
Advice is: do not and HE leaves otherwise this is just the beginning of your pain whilst he swans about doing what he likes and no consequences or care about his actions

My husband doesn’t want have sex with me after birth
My baby soon will be 11 months! When I found out that I was pregnant we stopped having sex atv5 months! After I gave birth we had sex after 4 k months because I had to make a point and get upset if it was up to him he would happily not have sex at all!
Summer came all the time we had sex because I initiate it! After the summer holiday we were apart from each other for almost one month - I have been back for 1 week and he literally not even once he tried! Today we are going out for a date night which he insisted, I am annoyed that I need to leave my son behind and on the way I said what is the point about date night getting dressed and leaving my son behind as we do not have a date at home (meaning we do not have sex) I feel we are becoming roommates! He is amazing father and husband! I don’t work he let me look after my Baby and pursue my dreams! But I don’t want to be in a sexless marriage.

Maternity pay
Firstly, I just wanna say I recognise I’m in an incredibly privileged position and I’m definitely not taking it for granted. Secondly, I also really love my company and my bosses so I’m worried about falling out with them.
I work for a company that got bought out and therefore my contract changes mid mat leave. The first six weeks was under my old contract on statutory pay (90%) and the rest shifts to enhanced/full pay. The statutory average weekly earnings period was actually when I received my bonus so I would be entitled to more pay than a standard month under the 90% period.
I received my first payslip which would’ve had the first couple of weeks of Maternity pay and it was just my normal salary so I questioned it and they gave me the response that they were going to honour my new contract early rather than the statutory 90% of average weekly earnings (as if it’s a favour to me).
I was hoping for the extra money to cover the fact that my husband isn’t entitled to paternity pay but now I feel awkward saying anything to my boss as if I’m fleecing them of money or something and if they genuinely believe they’re doing me a favour by giving me enhanced pay rather than the “90%”.
Would you say anything or just be grateful to receive your normal salary?

Struggling with child starting school
I have 2 children. From a very young age I always wanted children. I then found out at 26 that I had endo and had fertility issues. I was unable to get pregnant. I then had a few rounds of IVF and finally got my 2 beautiful girls.
One started school a few years ago and is in her last year at her lower school. My youngest has just started school.
I feel heartbroken. I have no little people at home during the day now. I miss them so much and have cried every day this week.
I'm scared it won't get easier? I am scared of feeling lonely. They are my little besties and I feel so upset.
Has anyone got any advice or older children where you can tell me that there's so much more to enjoy as they get older? I will miss the little stage so much.
I always wanted 3 kids but not sure I can do IVF again due to costs
