Partner watching porn

I felt like my boyfriend was hiding something (again) and I checked his phone, I found lots of porn websites in his search history. I feel like shit, I feel like I’m not enough to anyone. He was never like this and I had a higher sex drive all of a sudden he needs more..
we’ve split up before and he said he started watching it then.. I’m 3 weeks postpartum and we’ve been intimate since and it breaks my heart knowing I’m not enough even tho I made sure his needs are met. I swear any other man would appreciate it, and I do take care of myself so why can’t I just be good enough? Everyone says he’s punching and I could definitely do much better than him, but I just wanted to work things out with him so much no one else mattered to me ever. How do I cope with this?

Your feelings are completely valid. Why people normalise lusting after other people is beyond me. If you’re ok with it then cool, but you’re clearly not. You’ve set a boundary and he’s ignored it, that’s called disrespect.

Don’t let random women on here tell you that you’re too sensitive because you don’t want your partner pleasuring himself over other women, especially after you’ve don’t the most amazing thing in the world, growing and birthing a child. Love and respect to me isn’t having an orgasm over another person… I made sure to set my boundary before anything got serious with my partner so that he had the choice to walk away if his boundaries were different… he wholeheartedly agreed with me, he knows that if he ever crossed it then I’d be gone. That’s my personal boundary and my choice and that’s our choice as a couple. As women, we are allowed to make these decisions, we have rights now. Don’t ever bow down or lower your standards because porn is more normalised nowadays.

Girls there’s just no need to argue. I appreciate both of yours opinions.
We had sex because I felt good enough to do that as well as I healed pretty quickly and well… it thought it’d be nice to get closer to each other again as we have our struggles and I’m still learning to trust this man or feel good around him, and yes before there’s any assumptions, we have decided to work it out for the kid as we could never really let go of each other.

He probably didn’t want you comparing yourself to the girls in the videos postpartum, I did that when I asked what my boyfriend had watched in the first few weeks after I gave birth too and I got really down by how they looked and he regretted showing me it afterwards. He was keeping himself occupied to stop him asking me for stuff postpartum cause they shouldn’t be asking! I imagine it could be harmless ❤️

I’m sorry, but I’m kind of the opposite. If you’re in a relationship, you don’t need to be watching other women in porn videos or on Instagram and stuff it’s disrespectful if you wanna look at other women and jack off to them then why are you in a relationship you’d rather look at women on your phone then go to the women right in front of you that’s just stupid and it makes the women in the relationship feel like their not good enough because of that people have made watching porn into something that’s apparently not a bad thing but it really is

I used to not have a problem with porn because I used to watch it too from time to time, but it got to a point where I can’t stand it anymore. Mainly because I’ve been clean for a long time and I’d like my partner to be too, but also because porn has fucked with his mind a lot and he kept going further as in dirty talking with girls, paying for them etc. I understand you completely. You indeed feel like you’re not good enough. I’m sorry you’re going through this 🫶🏼

EYFS Nursery

Anyone encountered something in nursery that required some form of feedback or complain?

from what I’m reading, nurseries are supposed to meet individual baby needs and not make them follow nursery schedule.
But most time they said they tried, but never did and make baby follow their own time due to lack of staff.

For example when they r supposed to put baby to sleep or feed milk, they say they can’t (and tried) but in actual fact they have not tried. Inconsistent updates from different nursery staff as well.

I’m worried. If basic updates are inconsistent even. How are we even gonna be at ease when we send our babies there?

Challenging behaviour

I need help please! I am overwhelmed and sad. I am currently 17weeks pregnant with my second child amd my Son is 3 years and 10months old. He goes to nursery 3 days a week and over the past 6 months, he was said to have been exhibiting challenging behaviours such as hitting people, scratching and screaming when he is upset at nursery. He is different at home but when he's upset, he just cries at home. In nursery, he refuses to share toys or anything and hits at the slightest provocation. No one hits hum at hime so I don't know why he has developed such behaviours all of a sudden. His nursery manager has made us reduce his hours to 2 hrs 30 mins per day which is so tight for me as I work full time. I have tried talking to him, teaching him about safe hands and setting boundaries but nothing at all had changed, i don't know what else to do at this point. His dad (my husband) works far away and comes over the weekend, so there's only little that i can do. I need help please, any suggestions is welcomed.

Things to do on maternity leave

Has anyone got any suggestions of activities to do whilst on maternity leave?
We do swimming once a week and try to go to a play group as well as going for walks.
My LO is 8.5 months old and I’m getting fed up of being in the house as much as we are, so I’m sure my daughter is too!
We’re in Worcestershire area so any ideas/recommendations would be much appreciated 😊

Husband annoyed at our toddler for making a mess

My husband works and I’m a SAHM, and he was working from home today. Our 2-year-old was whinging and didn’t want to go out, even though I asked her so many times. So she was playing in the living room, and obviously it was a mess, toys all over the floor and some papers because she was drawing.

Then my husband came in and started telling our daughter off for whinging and telling her to be nice to me. He was also complaining about the living room being messy. Like, really?! We have a toddler! What is that attitude?!

I’m honestly so annoyed. And I was cooking while my toddler was playing, btw, and now I’m not even going to cook anymore.
