Relationship breakdown??? What do I do ???

Me and my man have been together for just over a year. I have a one year old- he's not his bio dad but they are very bonded as we met whilst I was pregnant. The relationship has been pretty good, I've dealt with really bad mental health in the last year too like PND, anxiety and suicidal ideation - it's been a short time but we've been through a lot and he's been very supportive.

He's now recently not been in the mood to have sex and not getting hard, he doesn't want to do anything at all and it's been a couple months with no sex - I'm craving physical intimacy and I've encouraged him to see the dr but he doesn't want to talk about it? He said as a suggestion to help me he could give me some space and I could go and sleep with someone else (recently I've been talking about how I want to explore more of my kinks and sexuality) - part of me doesn't think this is a healthy solution because what if he ends up resenting me for exploring. I feel bad for even considering it and I don't know what to do, I'm trying to encourage him and support him but he's not willing to do anything- I'm 24 and he's 21. What rhe heck will this relationship look like in the future. But apart from the sex we communicate well and we have a good relationship but I think this part is starting to effect the other parts of our relationship. I'm bored and frustrated but I don't wanna take away this bond from my son :( My family like my partner as well.

That's definitely not a solution.

Video Games

Anyone’s husband still
play video games or is it just my husband? It’s such a turn off for me 🤢 He just started using an old phone to play a game on there but prior he would go to the basement anytime he could to play but now he just sitting around up here on the phone playing games and it’s so f*cking annoying. He literally spent two hours this morning that phone then took it with him to the bathroom to play while he used the bathroom now he’s literally standing in the kitchen playing while I brush my daughter’s hair.

Teething?

Hi, is it possible my 11 week old is teething? His cheeks are often quite red, nappies are wetter and he’s now sucking both his hands quite vigorously even though he’s just been fed.

🩵please no judgment🩵

I’m so sorry this isn’t really about my baby or motherhood. I’m a single mum to a little boy and I’ve been working my absolute arse off whilst i can get baby free time but i just feel like im constantly broke. i always make sure my baby has everything and ill do whatever I can to make sure he has what he needs and wants. so i got myself into debt. he’s just had his bday so that was klarna and clearpay used. When i became a single mum i had no where to go so i had a loan for hotel rooms. I used a credit card to replace all his clothes, toys, bottles, steriliser, cot, walker etc. i left with nothing and had to build it all back up again. I try as much as i can to make the monthly payments etc but it’s just not helping. does anyone know how to get help with this ? I’ve called the company’s but non of them seem to understand or hear me. It’s like talking to a wall. I know it seems silly but I truly just wanted best for my little boy in a really hard and 💩 situation.
Thank you for taking time to read 🩵

17 month old won’t eat anything!

My daughter has not long turned 17 months old and she won’t eat breakfast, won’t eat her lunch just won’t eat anything I give to her, I’m really struggling because she needs to eat something and she’s getting up multiple times a night likely because she’s hungry however refusing any kinds of food I give her, is anyone else dealing with this at all?

I’m pissed

Okay so I’m just pissed that my boyfriend decides to get drunk every weekend and spends hours playing games then nighttime is coming and he has to go to couch bc we cosleep. But baby boy has been awake since 2am and so fussy and ofc I’m the one handling everything bc I do days and nights and baths and cries and I’m just so exhausted and pissed at him bc he gets free time to play and get drunk but I don’t get ANY free time to do anything. I haven’t even showered.
I’m just so tired and I know load can’t be balanced bc I’m EBF so basically I need to be available for baby always (which is not a problem bc this type of feeding was my decision) but he NEVER does nights, he doesn’t even know how to put him to sleep. And don’t even get me started on how many times A DAY I ask him if he has washed his hands. I don’t understand the fact that he DOESNT UNDERSTAND how important hygiene is when our baby is taking his hands to his mouth ALL THE TIME. UGHHHH I’m just so tired of everything.
