I know I'm slightly more impatient since being pregnant but he is really not helping. Yesterday he He asked if we are up for travelling abroad to a family wedding (cousin he doesn't know well) at the end of June. So I have to be the bad guy and say of course bloody not because baby could be as young as 1 week old t...
My body is overdrive sensitive and my boobs hurt so much and honestly lately it feels like my partner just gets a kick out of causing me discomfort and saying I’m being dramatic when I yelp 😞 Like he keps jokingly slapping my boobs and flicking my nips and he’ll say it wasn’t that hard and he’s always done…
My partner is FIFO. My LO HATES the car and screams bloody murder even before I put him in the car seat and so I feel like all I can do is go for walks. My days are the same every. single. day and I feel like I’m going insane. I have no family or friends where we live so that doesn’t help either I guess. I feel li...
Am I wrong for being upset that I’m not able to get “breaks”? I had a lunch date planned w a friend w just us two. My husband told me, he won’t be able to watch our daughter because he has something important to do around the same time I’m suppose to be leaving. I had tried to plan it around her nap time so it’ll be...
Im so over this shit. Im literally at the verge of tears right now because my kid is teething so she has a little cold.. i got her ready for bed & each time she fall asleep i set her down in her crib & she’s up. But here’s the thing.. im always the one that’s putting her down for the night always the one on top of t...
Of course we’re both happy that I’m pregnant but I feel like currently my husband is extremely overwhelmed —- he’s extremely scared , worried and anxious and even a little depressed . What’s some things I can say to him to make him feel better ?
How do y’all cope with a man who’s love language isn’t physical touch. he usually buys me things to show me that he loves me but I don’t need any of that stuff. I would much rather have him hold me and comfort me to show love. My husband works a lot and we haven’t seen each other in a good minute. We usually live a ...
Like I am the one that's essentially always caring for our son and the one - 2 hours he has him I end up still helping him and when I help him he is constantly criticizing how I feed, hold, wrap, dress, bathe, wipe, etc.... like, I've taken care of a baby before. Plus. I'm always the one having to rewipe our son and...
Anyone have any advice on how to get back your baby daddy? We are still best friends and hook up. We broke up because we both had our own issues but have since resolved them. His being an avoidant attachment style. I don’t want to be the one to bring up getting back together because as an avoidant he may dump all ou...
I need some words of wisdom to help me see past all I can see right now. I’ve been married for 5 years. There’s been a lot of changes, jobs, moves, Covid, Postpartum, etc. So it hasn’t been the most stable 5 years. Our communication is horrible, there’s a lot of resentment, no physical intimacy, he no longer sleeps ...
So my daughter has started nursery and she’s doing in settling in sessions. The first time her dad dropped her off and she was absolutely fine she didn’t even want to come home but today i dropped her off and she didn’t want to go and balled her eyes out when i see her. Any idea why im very confused
Does your significant other do something nice for you and like you appreciate that they tried to help out but it’s not how you wanted so it leaves you feeling kinda frustrated and a bit upset? For example we needed to get an extension cord set up in our one year olds room for his monitor, sound machine, etc since th...
So today I went to my parents house as they invited me for lunch. Me, my sisters and my dad were having a normal conversation we were laughing about something that happened years ago and then he started randomly shouting at me. It was very strange. I got upset and I left. Growing up I've not had the greatest childho...
How did y’all figure out when to go back to work? My BD and I discussed me going back to work 2 weeks ago; he doesn’t work a regular 9-5 so he agreed to get our son M-F from 8am-5pm and I’ll get him when I’m off and the weekend I’ll have my son. Today we got in an disagreement and now he’s telling me tht he is going...
How do I let go of all this anger with my bd?? We broke up a few months ago. He hasn’t shown up for our son since the day he was born. He cheated on me my whole pregnancy, he would gaslight me and tell me I was insecure for being curious about him cheating until I found out. I’ve been nothing but patient, caring and...
My baby's dad and me have been arguing almost every day from name calling to him even physically assaulting me, telling me that he does all the work and that I'm not good enough making out like I'm a bad my baby is not even 1 mouth and he's already threatened me with lawyers I do all the housework and look after the...
Let me preface this by saying; my husband and I have always had a loving and caring relationship. He has always gone out of his way to make sure I'm okay, and that I have everything I need. The reason I fell in love with him was because he was such an empathic, loving, caring soul. He made me feel like I was finally...
My husband works during the week and I’m a stay at home mum who cleans the house on the few mornings our daughter is at nursery. He hasn’t got the Friday and Monday off around this weekend despite it being a bank holiday because he works for himself. On Saturday morning he wants to do one of his hobbies which invo...
I don’t really know the point of this post and I feel guilty for even writing this as I don’t feel like I should complain. But I’m so tired and feel so rubbish about myself. Before having my daughter, I was the girl that would always get my nails/lashes/tan done, would always make an effort with my hair and makeup. ...
Do you ever feel like the villian in your partners story? I've been with my husband for 10 years, that's a long ass time. We have a son together and I love this man more than anything else. We have a relationship that most people envy, but it has recently come to my attention that my husband thinks I'm a liar. His e...
