am i being extreme or what?

when i was around 7/8 months pregnant, i went through my husbands phone and saw he was liking 30+ women’s pictures on twitter, one of them were even prompting to like the picture if you would dm them, and he liked it. i wanted a divorce (not valid in my religion during pregnancy anyways) but he pleaded, did the most, cried, said he made a mistake and whatever tf he said. he changed his phone password lol, i asked for the new one, he gave it to me but thought i wouldn’t remember it, anyways now 14 months postpartum, we’re so distant romantically, my attraction and trust for him have never been the same but i was still trying you know? he almost never initiates sex, i co sleep and breast fed my LO to sleep and have been struggling so bad to stop i’ve been exhausted so i pleaded him to help me wean her off, so i can have time for myself and our marriage, he was always nonchalant about it, unbothered, delaying, anyways the other day something urged me to check his phone, i find he has been looking for masturbating sex toys and local escorts, happy ending erotic massage services. Lol another part of me has died, i confront him and he says i pushed him to that, that he’s never actually done anything physically he was just looking because he was angry at me (nothing happened on the day btw we even had a good evening out as a family but i guess he forgot to get his story straight) proceeds to list all the issues he has (ive been evil, i bully him apparently, i project my external issues with others onto him, i demasculate him, i never listen etc…) proceeds to cry a few tears, i just zoned out mid conversation, i feel like i was already quite emotionally checked out prior to what i saw, very sexually deprived/unsatisfied (i even find myself thinking about experiences with other people from the past, btw these exs have also tried reaching out several times during my marriage and i just block, he doesn’t even know the temptations ive been fighting and staying loyal to our marriage and has the audacity) anyways i’ve been thinking about how divorce life would be for ages (because of constant personality clashes, low romantic feelings/attraction etc), now i think this is a reason for divorce? but im a sahm, im completing my university degree (have like 2.5 years left) since i found out he has been doing the most, chores, compliments, giving me time to nap, even fully took care of bed time without me breast feeding for the first time, i really want a divorce but now im like should i stay till i finish this degree, save up whatever i can, apply for a jobs abroad, surprise him with a divorce and heal from the divorce in a fresh new life abroad with my daughter. Idk man, why can’t men be normal, i was actually such a good wife to him i just have no support from family since the beginning of my postpartum till this day, i didn’t get a full night sleep for 14 months ( i wake up around 7-15 times in the night) until last night, he has been so incompetent and sees almost the bare minimum as being a good husband and dad, when it’s just not enough for me. Now another part of my love for him has just died and burned away, men really do love bitches, and i think it’s time to be the biggest bitch until i think it’s my time to go. And the way i feel now i couldn’t care less if he sleeps with the neighbors dog or whoever, he really killed a part of me, if he couldn’t respect me as a wife or partner he could’ve at least respected me as the mother of his child, but no. So game on i guess 🤝

I have felt the same exact way before. You stay and stay until any resemblance of love you might have had left for them dies. Theres something almost empowering yet heartbreaking abiut that feeling. Knowing your free from what kept you holding on for so long but also having to let go when you just wanted that person to love you and put the effort in. Im sorry youre going through this 🥺💔

If you zoned out mid conversation while he was talking and crying it seems like there is no love or respect left. And if you compare him to your exes well.. no judgement here but Is that allowed in your religion lol. I think Comparing him to your ex is far more sinful than liking some pics. And then using him to get your degree agh!

How are we making money?

How are we making money as stay at home moms? Im not creative enough or have the time to make stuff to sell, im not pretty or unique enough to start social media, selling my kids old stuff doesnt ever yield much result, I need to go through my clothes to sell but thats not a long term way to make money.
I want to be able to fund things I want to do for myself without making my husband have to pay for everything, but I just dont know how to make money with the minimal time and energy I have. Its starting to make me depressed.

This is TMI but idc lol

Is anyone else’s like private area sweating really bad….like I hate when my private areas and butt area is wet and I wake up and it’s not soaked but wet and it’s so uncomfortable. There’s also discharge and it’s so annoying. Could it be because I’ve started using a private area wash? Idkkk but I hate it and I don’t have underwear that fit me right now so I can’t put on pads to make it not make my pregnancy pillow or thighs wet 😭 even if I did have undies I haven’t bought pads or tampons in like 7-8 months 💀 lol ITS SO UNCOMFORTABLEEEEEEEEEE

Fully remote jobs?

Has anyone has any luck with any fully remote jobs? I need to help with the income as finances are getting strained and my husband’s company replaced his job with a machine, and his hours got cut. We have kids at home and can’t afford the local daycares, so I’m looking for a remote job that someone can verify isn’t scammy.

Loneliness turning into Depression

I'm at a point in life where I feel like giving up on trying to make friends. I haven't made a new friend since high-school. Thats 13 years. We still talk on occasion but they all live in different states now. I just want one genuine friend. A best friend. Just one. Somebody to hang out with, shop with, grab lunch with, just chill at each other's houses watching tv. I dont feel like I'm asking for much. But I put myself out there. I join the Facebook groups. I downloaded this app. But nobody sticks around. Message for a few days and then boom! Nothing. Ghosted.

I wont pester Somebody into being my friend. But damn I'm lonely. I love my husband and kids but theirs a void. Idk. Its hard to explain. I just want Somebody to do girly stuff with amd it hurts that I'm not good enough for anybody. Obviously something must be wrong with me. Maybe I'm boring?

I'd never say all this out loud. I mean I never even liked when people did "Oh poor pitiful me posts" but now its my turn and I get it. But I'm staying anonymous. I just need to vent.

My loneliness is turning into depression. I can feel it. I just dont see a point in trying anymore. I mean after 13 years that's gotta be a sign right? I'm bawling my eyes out while my family is asleep because I dont want to worry them. But I really feel worthless right now. I wish I knew what it was about me that's so off putting. Id try to change. Honest. I just want to be and have a bff again.
