Hey gals
So for the last three to four months my boyfriends mom has been living with us, she decided to leave everything behind in Texas and move to Las Vegas with us. I was against it for the longest and kept telling my boyfriend I don’t want her here, I pushed back with him over this for almost a year. Fast forward to three, four months ago he abruptly had her move here so he could go to work during the day despite me working during the day. We have an almost three year old together who does not attend daycare. His dad had a night time job for two years that was working for our family dynamic and he got fired a year ago from it and in my eyes I don’t think he cares to find a night time job to be there with our son during the day. He brought his mom here to babysit despite him saying he didn’t. Now all we do is clash, she wants to run things in my home and I am just not having it. Now she wants to control the air conditioner temperature because she has arthritis, I get hot so quickly after having my second son, I can’t be hot for more than a minute or two in my home. She looks to me to do everything like cook and clean everyday and go to work six days a week, look after my two kids, do my school work and maintain the home. And looks to her son for nothing. I am tired of her and honestly I’d rather be homeless than to deal with this all. Our lease is up in 17 days and we have nowhere to go and I don’t care to move with them. I am so tired of giving people grace and adjusting to everyone else but no one does the same for me. Her nor her son has bothered to pick up a box and help me pack anything in this home and quite frankly I’m just over them both to the point where I feel like spazzing. I no longer buy things in the home, I buy things for me and my boys only and hide it. My boyfriend has a gambling addiction and his mom likes to drink and their money is not for household items only mines. He now supports her habit because she’s broke and I am just not having it. I’m just ranting but could use some support or advice on this matter. I am currently waiting for a pay raise from work that could be anywhere between three and six months then I will be well off to support me and my boys but it seems like it’s taking forever idk…

I wish I had advice for you, but sadly I do not. Obviously voicing your concerns with your boyfriend isn’t working, it seems he’s a mamas boy. I’m not sure what state you’re in but they do grant emergency assistance to homeless women in certain states. I’m not sure if your parents are able to help you, but that would be who I go running to. Don’t think it will get better, get out while you can. You may get better advice posting on Reddit /r/girldinnerdiaries for advice.

Help!! I feel like such a loser. I have like no friends and just hang out at home with my kids and husband all the time. He is my best friend. But I also want girl friends to hang out with. He goes and hangs with his guy friends and I just stay home. He asked why I never go anywhere and I told him I have no friends and no idea how to even make friends. So help! How do you make friends these days?!

It's been 3 and a half months.. he says he still fancies me and smacks my butt and grabs my boobs but says there is just nothing going on down there.. he's said it's his antidepressants and it happens sometimes but we used to have sex constantly.. I'm just worried he's gone off me cause of the baby... Has this happened to anyone else?

If you're a self proclaimed people pleaser, please don't. I know it feels agreeable and diplomatic. I know you think its a way to keep peace and maintain relationships.
But rarely do people pleasers hide their true feelings as successfully as they think. The people on the receiving end of your pleasing can often tell you don't actually want to do the thing, or you don't actually like them, and it just makes you come across as insecure or ingenuine.
So now you're unhappy because youre going against your own preferences, and the recipient is unhappy because your words and behaviors and vibes don't sync up. It makes people question your motives and makes you seem untrustworthy. Have the confidence to be true to yourself for everyone's sake.
