Advent calendar

Every year I have watched people on YouTube unbox these expensive advent calendars from brands like Mac and benefit. I would like to buy myself one this year because I have worked hard and I’m going to be in my third trimester by December. Each one I look at doesn’t really have exactly what I’m after. If I’m spending £100-200 on something I really want to use over 90% of the products. Here’s my question, out of all of the ones I’ve looked at I have 3 top choices OR I could take the money I would spend and buy things I actually want and wrap them myself like a saddo. What do you think?

Have you had a look at the Cult Beauty one?

You could always buy an empty box version of one of them from the previous years (they sell them on eBay) and fill them with what you want. You could ask your partner to hide them in there so you don’t know what you’ll be getting.

Boring sex

When me and my man started dating I felt that the sex was pretty good. Not the biggest but he knew how to use it and compensated with his hands and tongue teehee 😝 now I feel like we only have really good sex once in a while because he's tired most of the time and we don't live together yet.

I'm a bit of a freaky girl and most of the time sex ends up pretty vanilla and a bit rushed for me. Recently I've found my mind wandering to past experiences and me desiring those
again and what it would be like to experience someone else. It also doesn't help that I still get a bit of male attention - I do not condone cheating in any way but it's almost like I have to make more of an effort to not flirt with these men because I just wanna like feel tingly down there 😭😂 like with my man I feel like most of the time I'm blowing him then having to finish myself off quickly because he wants to go to sleep but wants me to cum. Any tips? We've have a few discussions about what I would like etc but he seems to think our sex life is fine

Lonely

My son is almost two months. I’m just feeling extremely lonely lately. I’m basically home Monday to Friday and Saturday from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm. I put baby to bed every night rinse and repeat. My boyfriend is at a concert tonight and I can’t help but feel extremely sad, lonely, and resentful. I have a pit in my stomach. I also miss my bf as we barely see one another , talk , or sleep in same bed since baby. Do things get better? It really bothers me that dads just resume as normal. 😭 just needed to vent. If anyone feels same please let me know so I don’t feel so alone.

Working mom

I went back to work once my baby turned 16 weeks old, so I was lucky to get almost 4 months of maternity leave with her, and my husband was able to stay with her until she was 6 months old. My aunt watches her full time ever since.

I just really struggle with the guilt of leaving her in someone else’s care, even family. I am lucky that my husband drops her off at 9 and I am able to be there to pick her up by 3:30 so she’s only away from us for about 6.5 hours a day, with 2 of those hours usually being asleep. I am good at my job, I like it and the people I work with, and I’m the main breadwinner. I don’t feel like I should quit but I just feel so much guilt that it’s not me with my baby all day, every day. I am also afraid she won’t feel as bonded to me.
Any other working moms feel this way? Every other mom in my family (sister, sister in law, cousins) are all stay at home moms so maybe that’s why.. I just feel alone in this.

It’s 12 at night and I’m walking the streets alone because my partner and I got into a really bad argument but of course I’m the one that suffers and I don’t feel safe right now so can someone please talk to me? I’m in a very unsafe area outside by myself.

Help my husband wants a divorce I’m 1 week away from giving birth

Im extremely stressed out right now and im 39 weeks pregnant exactly FTM. My husband and I had a huge fight and he said he hated me and wanted a divorce and never wants to be with me again. He has been gone all day and went to a hotel according to our bank statements. He changed his profile pictures to ones of just him, and removed his married status on FB. He took the car as well with the baby’s car seat and my bag. He told me to trust him and he has me blocked on everything. How do I manage and navigate this level Of stress and hurt and prevent my baby from being born too early at this point? Please help.
