I’m pregnant and want advice 🩶

Me and my guy have been together for 5 years. We have a son and now we have a baby girl on the way which I’m pretty excited about because I’ve always wanted to be a mom . But here’s the problem my guy hates his baby mama. He will not talk or communicate with her because maybe over 15 years ago she gave their kids up for adoption. He was incarcerated at the time and because he told her he didn’t want to continue a relationship with her and only wanted to co parent she got mad and gave the kids away so he don’t want anything to do with her but she calls from different numbers nonstop playing on his phone and the way she is getting his number is looking it up and paying for it online . She pretends to be someone else to try to talk to him about their kids, but the kids lived with their foster parents . So is it wrong that he doesn’t want to talk to her anymore because of the matter. Also, his kids are over the age of 17 . I always see posts that when a person don’t get along/Hate their baby mama or baby daddy is usually a red flag, but I just wanted to get some advice here to see if you guys would agree so that way I can know how to talk to him about the situation.

I wouldn’t want to talk to that baby momma either . If she doesn’t have the kids there’s no need for them to talk in general . His kids are almost adults so I’d hope they have his number to talk to just him vs going thru her

Not selfish at all it’s not like they r young and they r figuring out coparenting still they r basically adults who can talk to him and come over and c their younger siblings so really no conversation is necessary really between him and their mom if he doesn’t want one .

Oh no absolutely not! There's a big stigma about BDs vs BMs. But please take my word for it- exes are exes for a reason. The fact that he left the relationship and honestly she's stalking him, speaks volumes about the dynamic between them. He sounds like he has left the situation behind but it's following him, despite his efforts. Now that those kids are nearly adults, it's up to him and his kids to pursue their own relationships with each other and it can be done 40000% without their mother in any capacity. It sounds like that woman genuinely needs help and I hope she finds it so she can find some peace

She is crazy and out of her mind! I think he has every right to not talk to her. Has he ever took her to court for stalking because he can save those phone records?

I have a question

Do I look ugly or something because every time I start or think I am making a friend I get blocked or ghost is anyone else feel like or is it just me

How can I share this with my husband?

I wanna tell my husband about a way that he's making me feel, but I want to say it in a way he's not gonna flip it or get defensive. So some back story our sex life is ok but not as frequent as HE would like it. I haven't ever really been a sexual person like it's good, but I truly feel I could go without it for the rest of my life. Plus with some feelings of resentment towards him and having such a busy life and stress on me I'm often not in the mood or just exhausted. Now it really hit me last night that I often don't do the things I want or enjoy when I finally have free time after the kids go to bed, and the reason is because he feels like anytime that is finally free is our time and we could be being intimate or whatever. But that leaves me usually feeling like if I say I'm too tired to have sex then I should be too tired to crochet or read a book, etc. so I should just not do what I want and go to bed because otherwise I have to hear him say that I'm just not prioritizing him. And I just don't feel like I should look at the time and see that I have an hour to myself finally but before I can give it to myself I need to give HIM some of that time also, usually leaving me with no time or like 10min. How can I tell him that this is how I feel, it's been giving me anxiety for the last 5 years living like this.

Gym time

I'm two months postpartum and I want to start working out. I'm trying to figure out how to ease my way back into the gym. I was thinking about Chole Ting, but her workout videos are pretty intense. I'm also a single mom, so I'm trying to figure out how to fit in workout time between feedings.

Happy maternity leave

While I’m on maternity leave, my husband has been telling people at work about the conflicts in our family, and one of his friends suggested that he buy me a ticket to Ukraine so I could go there and die. It sounds almost absurd to say it out loud, but the funny part is that I actually found out about this from my husband himself. How am I supposed to feel about that?

Do Real friends exist?

I honestly can say I’m truly hurting today. I’m always the person that reaches out,check on others,give my last no matter what I have going on. To go from have friends supporting you during pregnancy, being there for you, there after baby is born to just dipping is heartbreaking and really hurts. I may not be able to go every
Where all the time but you can still invite me. It’s crazy to me how people just up n leave like it’s nothing. I’ve tried to make new friends but honestly it’s not easy after being hurt so much I’m truly tired of the friendship hurt 😭💔

Journaling?

Any mamas journal?? My therapist recommended I start. I feel weird essentially talking to myself. Does it get less weird the longer you do it?? Does it make a difference to you.? Any advice is great. Thank you
