How do you breakup with them…

When I got pregnant with my partner, I’ve had this intuition I’m not in love with him. We now have a 7 month old, besides not being in love with him I also am unhappy with him (lots of fighting and just realizing who he is, I don’t want to be with him the rest of my life, etc.)
I plan on discussing with a family law attorney, but how do I break this to him?
Like hey so I don’t want to marry you. I want to do 50/50 or 70/30 (since I do more parenting)
I’m just scared how he will react and afraid to hurt him…. What’s a good way to explain this to him without him getting too upset and starting an argument?

Maternity leave

Has anyone decided when you will start maternity leave? I’m leaning towards starting as early as possible which would be at 29 weeks, would love to have time to fully prepare for baby and also have time to relax and take time for myself before not having much free time for a very long time

Feeling like a mum

Hi! I’m a first time mum, my little boy is 8 weeks and he’s brilliant. He was planned and wanted from the get go. I love him so much and we’re building a great relationship but I feel like we are best friends as opposed to me being a mum to him. I don’t know if I’m partially struggling with a change in identity. I’m 35, always worked a demanding job, managed to do most of the things I’d wanted to do in life by this point, I’ve been very lucky.. I’ve always known who I am, I’ve never struggled with my identity before. now life is slower, more simplistic and I find myself trying to figure out who I am now. Sorry to go in to detail but I just wondered if anyone else has had similar feelings? Hoping I’m not the only one in this boat x

How often are you and your partner intimate?

We haven’t had sex since I’ve become pregnant. So about a year and a half now.

Low iron stores & pregnancy

Hi mamas! I would love to have another baby soon (next 1-2 months hopefully!), so had my bloodwork done and my ferritin came back extremely low. Hoping to build that up with therapeutic iron supplements, but apparently it can take a LONG TIME. I’m curious what your experiences have been and if it would affect only be or baby as well?

Going back to work 4 or 3 days?

I know this will have a lot of various factors to influence it but in general, can anyone give me advice/their perspective on this?

My sister who was a SAHM is very much saying how time together us more important than money. But my thinking is:

1) do I want to be stressed during their childhood over paying the bills and mortgage
2) do I want to sacrifice being able to do bigger things/outings on the days I actually have off
3) do I want to risk my work not letting me up my days again once little one is at school

On the other hand, 3 days at my workplace may be more likely to be accepted as a job share than 4 so this may not even be a case of having an option..

Just really torn on what to ask for on my flexible work request and its fast approaching!

My partner and I have had similar incomes so we have always split bills equally too (joint account for bills and seperate account for everything else) so I'm also worried about how my income drastically changing will affect this dynamic and how to make it fair

Looking for long distance friends !!

hii 🥹💕 I’m looking for a long-distance friend I can genuinely connect with! Someone to talk to throughout the day, send random updates to, vent to, and share the little things in life with. I’m a SAHM to my almost 8-month-old son, and I love gaming 🎮 I’d love to meet someone I can get close to, even if we live far away.🫶🏻🕺
