My partner keeps calling me racist whenever I mention my genuine fears regarding mass immigration! Can a relationship with differing political views work?

Yes and no, if he believes differently but still understands you I think it works but if he doesn't care to understand where you're coming from then no it won't work out.

If he calls you that now imagine how it would be in the future if you settle for what he wants ..

My husband and I have completely different political, ethical and parental views. We've been together 20 years. Yes at times its challenging but I think being on opposite stand points opens us both up for deeper understanding , interesting conversation and our children see that even though we are chalk and cheese in everyway its healthy to have relationships where others gave differing views and opinions. At the end of the day everyone in the world thinks differently and believes in many different things , it doesn't mean we can't put that aside

He’s probably wondering the same thing. You should ask him

We don't expect our children to have the same views or opinions but encourage them to talk and discuss what they believe in and why and we respect their views and opinions and trust that they do us . Noones really right or wrong many factors build people's beliefs , values and persuasions

But you are racist if you think this way 100%
It would be better for him to leave a person like you for his own sake

What are your genuine fears regarding mass immigration though? Or have you just been blindly deep-throating Reform propaganda? Because I assure you, if you’re in the U.K., mass immigration is not the problem you think it is, you are being hoodwinked by the Far Right’s agenda.

Probably because you are. It’s never nice when the shoe fits and all of your ā€œfearsā€ stem from ignorance. no relationships don’t work with differing political views because those views rely on morals and stands regarding human rights. Magas/reformers/ anyone ignorant enough to fall for hate campaigns towards minorities lack moral standing and ethics and quite frankly intelligencešŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Does anyone feel resentful toward their friends without kids?

I can’t explain it but I find it so so hard to connect to my friends without kids because our lives and responsibilities look so different. Example. My friend/coworker is late a lot to work, meanwhile I’m always on time after getting both myself and my 18 month old dressed and dropped off to daycare in the opposite direction. There’s just such a disconnect :(

3 months PP - partner messaging someone

She goes to his run club. I’d voiced I had concerns when I was pregnant and was was overly friendly to him when we attended a GP appt and she was there. He told me it was nothing. I was overthinking it. She just recognised him from run club is all.

After I gave birth we went to the run club venue and she shared his chair. I said then I found that odd. He said it was nothing. I was overthinking it.

I told him I felt vulnerable. Insecure. My body had changed and I didn’t feel attractive.

I went on his phone and he’d been messaging her. He sent something then unsent it. She said she’d seen and he replied ā€˜Good. I’m glad. Genuinely ā¤ļøā€™. She loved it. He said ā€˜in a different world’.

He then gave her his number and she responded with hers. He then went on to tell her I was mad at him and he’d be sleeping in the spare room. I was mad because he’d come home drunk and our 3 month old was sick, so I couldn’t hand over. He didn’t tell her that. She replied saying she was drunk and it must be from all the G&Ts he’d bought her.

I confronted him. He said I’m making out that he’s cheating. I said I was going to message her and ask what he sent but deleted. He said ā€˜thanks for ruining run club’. Am I overreacting? I feel broken. Like someone has scooped out my insides.

How did you know marriage was over?

Husband and I haven’t been intimate since the conception of son May 2024. I have no desire and feel like we’re not on the same page anymore. I feel like I’ve evolved in terms of what I’d like for the future and he’s content with how life has been for the past decade. Everything he does annoys me and we speak when we need to and after putting in a lot of effort, I can be cordial. How did you manage things after separation/divorce and how did your kids manage? Mine are currently 5 and 20 months. How did you feel after doing it?
