Needing support or friendshipsđŸ©·

I recently left my spouse due to dv and constant disrespect. I could feel him sucking the life out of me. I am 17 weeks pregnant with two other children. I have been a stay at home mom and he drained our bank account. Has anyone else ever gone through this? I wouldn’t wish this hell on anyone 😞

This exact thing happened to me, and literally is currently happening to me again. Last time I will ever put my faith in a man. Currently 24 weeks pregnant, my spouse emptied the account, kicked my 4 year old and I out, and I am now with my mom. Feel free to message me, I would genuinely love to chat ❀❀

In somewhat of the same situation accept its mental abuse rather than physical & I havent left yet. Currently stuck in a lease with another year and a half to go đŸ˜«. I have two older children as well, and am 36 weeks. Sooo going on maternity leave soon and he knows I cant afford to leave atm even if I wanted to break the lease. Im sorry you're in this situation but am glad you got yourself and your kids out and away!

In laws with kissing baby

I had to message my mother in law to please stop kissing my baby on the face
she messaged today for the first time since that conversation. I explained that we cannot meet up today as I’m sick (the cold that the in-laws gave us !!)
so she said “ok give baby a big kiss and cuddle from me”. Anyone else feel like that sounds really cheeky? Or am I taking it the wrong way😆basically just went in 1 ear & out the other.

Husband snatches phone out of my hand and refuses to let me look? Unacceptable? Am I being unreasonable?

I am 3 weeks emergency c section with our second baby (2 years). My partner got a new work phone a few weeks ago and he was sitting on it whilst at the dinner table. I asked him if I could have a look at it and I picked it up. He snatched it out of my hand and tried to hide it from me. He then refused to let me look at it and runs upstairs. He came back down stairs and explained that he didn’t want me to see a work email about a new job before he had a chance to talk to me about this.

I cannot understand the need to snatch, hide a phone and then leave the room over a work email.

I am feeling very angry with him and have refused to go to his family meal tonight and play happy families.

He is annoyed with me and is blaming me for ruining our evening and cancelling on his family.

I don’t want to believe he is hiding things from me but his reaction makes me think he is cheating/looking at things I wouldn’t approve of.

For reference, he has the passcode to my phone and goes on my phone all the time.

Husband wants to go on a trip 37 weeks pregnant

Just reached 37 weeks today. Husband wants to go visit his parents because he won’t see them for a while (they’re not visiting and we are only going to see them in feb). He thinks it’s doable. I’m very hurt and don’t feel prioritized. What to say

NEED TO RANT

My husband and I have recently come abroad with our baby to meet his parents and family. We have been here 1 day and he has gone out drinking with his friends. I wouldn’t mind usually except he came home at 8:30pm drunk looking for a bottle of alcohol. His mum enables him and they were opening every cupboard imaginable and making so much noise that he woke our baby up. Our baby who hasn’t slept today due to the amount of visitors we have had. He then got his drink and left again. He left the room in such a mess as well. He didn’t even apologise for waking our child up showing he doesn’t care at all.


I’m fed up because we have come to see his family and introduce our baby. I don’t speak the language either so there’s a barrier. Most of them are telling me what to do (using arm gestures etc so we understand each other) and I’m lonely. It’s not a break or holiday for me. I enjoy myself more at home. I know while I’m here I’ll just be stuck inside at home every day and that isn’t what I want for me and my baby.

I feel like I want out of my marriage. Am I wrong with how I feel? x

Mothers being told they don’t do anything!!

Has anyone in your life told you that as a mother or even a stay at home mother that you don’t do anything??? I have bipolar type 1 and adhd and my son has autism. So I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not perfect that maybe I am a type c mom. But I know for damn sure that I don’t do anything is not true. My partner and I got into an argument and I can’t get over how he said I don’t do anything. Mind you he works night shift so he sleeps during the day. I can go down the list of everything I be doing but I know most people on this app know the truth!!!

So I’m at the point right now where I’m so hurt and angry that I am not going to do anything so he could see how this house looks when “I don’t do anything” I have checked out. I know this might be wrong so I’m asking y’all has this happened to you and what did you do? How did you feel? What should I do? I’m honestly just hurt and feel unappreciated
