Sex life boring

My husband is so vanilla. There's nothing wrong with that but I'm starting to not feel satisfied. I've tried lots over the years to spice it up but we are where we are and I am so bored and my needs just are not being met.

I have another daughter who is 9 so I'm getting up as early as 630/715 on certain days...

Could you get over your ex sleeping with someone while you broke up?

We broke up and he slept with someone during that time. We never agreed that it was a break or anything like that so I know he was within his right to do so. We have decided to give things a go and he wanted to come clean about everything that happened while we weren’t together and he has admitted to sleeping with a...

Childcare

Just want someone to clarify for me. I’m ending my maternity in 29th September, but then taking my annual leave until November. That means I’m entitled to the 30 hrs from 1st September. But I won’t be putting LG in nursery until November, will I still get the 30 hrs or will I have to wait until new term in jan?
