Partner didn’t have sex with me - weird?

TMI*** so my partner came home from work and randomly decided to go down on me out of nowhere. I thought it would have lead to sex but it didn’t. This never happens, ever. He only goes down on me before or during sex, he never does foreplay just randomly with no intention of sex. He was going all out, trying to ma...

Newborn phase - anyone else finding it quite boring?

Hear me out! I'm enjoying my newborn and finding out feet over the past couple of weeks has been full of love albeit challenging! But one thing that I wasn't prepared for is how mundane and boring it is, newborns are boring! Lol. Is anyone else finding the same or should I feel ashamed in thinking this?

Miles Circuit

Anyone done the miles circuit? I tried this afternoon but I only lasted 15 minutes in the first position, before getting heartburn and feeling sick. I also just found it really uncomfortable! But if it’s worked for anyone I’ll definitely give it another go! 39+1 and I’m ready for baby to be here now!! 🤍

Like he wants me to have cleavage and short skirts etc. normally I’d think a man wants to protect their woman from other mens eyes, but my husband loves it. He knows I’m a loyal person so he probably doesn’t worry about me flirting with guys or anything, bu...
