I have to leave everything behind and go with my husband to the US but heās not really good with his family. They love our baby but me saying we can stay with them as long as we want til we get our own place but we and his family are not getting along well. We donāt have any big drama with each other but no matter what I do, I am just my husband wife. I feel so lonely living new life. I am grateful they provide us a place to live but I feel emotionally isolated. Thereāre sometimes I reach out if we can go to a coffee shop together, you know do some girls stuff but since I have a baby itās hard for them cos my baby doesnāt like the car or I donāt have my own car so MIL and SIL would always just go together do they hair and nails, etc. I feel so out of the loop and lonely. For months their family group chat didnāt include me and if my husband showed what they were talking about MIL got mad like it was none of my businessā¦
Itās not like I care or Iām chasing inclusion, I just need a friend.

Hey all I made my son a birthday plate and I just wrote love from mum, not dad.
My partner is fuming and āheart brokenā even though I told him I was doing it before I done it as a personal present from me to my son but he says he didnāt know I wasnāt going to add him. I showed him the plate when I done it and he said he liked it, when I picked it up I showed him he said he liked it but is saying he didnāt see me not write dad on it. Was I wrong to not put him on it aswell considering I was the one that made it and he didnāt come with me.

Me: (opens his snack pack) why didn't you eat your breadsticks?
Son: I couldn't open them.
Me: (opens the lunchbox) but you could open your dunkaroos....

For the past two to three months, my fiancĆ©, who is also my sonās father, has been spending almost all his time at home in our bedroom, while my son and I are in the lounge room by ourselves.
When he gets home from work, he needs at least an hour to himself, which I understand. But when he does come out, itās usually for no more than 10 minutes before he goes straight back in. I often have to coax him out just to eat dinner with us, and even then, itās only around 15 minutes together.
Every few nights, he helps put our son to bed, and I really enjoy that time together as a family. But outside of that and dinner, we barely spend any time together. I donāt expect him to spend every moment with us, but Iām worried about how this might affect our son. Iām also feeling lonely and exhausted because iām doing everything by myself it feels ik a stay at home mum i need adult interaction
Today, I asked if we could please just hang out. I offered to watch a movie, but he said he wasnāt interested in watching anything at the moment. I offered to play Fortnite with him, which is one of his favourite games. I even offered to have a drink with him, which isnāt something I usually do, but he wasnāt interested in any of it.
When I bring it up, he either says he does spend time with us and isnāt in there that much, or that he just likes being in the bedroom. He says he works hard and needs space and time to think. I understand needing downtime, but Iām struggling with how little time we actually get with him.
He also spends a lot of time on phone calls with his friends. Heās always done that, but it often means I canāt even ask him something or have a conversation because heās already on the phone.he shhs me
He says weāre going to spend time together, but it doesnāt really happen. If I join him in the bedroom, we usually just sit on our phones. There isnāt a TV in there, and sitting beside each other on separate phones doesnāt feel like spending time together.
I miss connecting with him and doing things as a family. Iām honestly also worried that he might be depressed. I donāt know whether heās struggling with something or just wants time alone, but Iām concerned about him as well as how this is affecting us.

Hi all, I just need some advice. My husband is driving me insane. We're arguing over small little things
He's constantly on his computer from morning to night and gets upset when I ask to help with out LO, he works 2 days a week (2 half days 1 full) I feel like a single mum and I'm not sure what to do. I try get his attention from the computer and it turns into an argument. Whenever I'm trying to put out LO to sleep he screams at his games (he plays chess...š) and ends up waking him up. I'm not sure on what to do. I am really hoping this is just a rough patch. He said he'll happily help out more when our LO is doing more (he's 3 months almost 4 right now) such as crawling. Reacting more etc. my son is a very happy baby, he loves his dad a lot but I just feel like he just see's his dad as 'fun' instead of someone he should look up to. I get he's too young to understand but if nothing changes now I'm worried it never will. I want 3 kids, but if it's going to be like this I'm not even sure. I'm just so upset all the time. My mental health is deteriorating. I get sooo down sometimes I just think to myself it'll be better if I'm just not here anymore. Obviously I'd never act upon such thoughts but even just thinking about it is super stressful for me because I should be able to have support.
There's a lot more that's happened and I could go on and on and on but this is just the jist
Sorry for the rant and thanks for coming to my ted talk. Any tactics/advice is appreciated thank you x
UPDATE: he's just told me he doesn't love me anymore and (I quote) hates me.
