I feel you hun. It has been tough working full time, commuting, feeling a bit rubbish for months. It helped that husband works mostly from home and is happy to help cooking etc. Mostly on a weekday, I'd be home by 7ish 7 30ish, we have a quick meal in front of the TV and I would fall asleep on the sofa. Then he'd wake me up close to midnight and I'd sleep in bed. Super boring, but needs must. It helps to food prep and freeze meals in the weekend. We'd also do some really quick and low effort meals on work days. As for dates, sometimes we will eat out when husband is working in the office and I can meet him in town. We talk all the time and just remember to be silly and have a laugh, remembering to give each other a lot of grace because this is tough on us as we grow a baby and also on partners as new dads. Like many young working people, I am sure you both are exhausted and stressed. Maybe look into using some annual leave soon to rest and recharge together?
@Eli Hi Eli thank you for your message do you mind if I private message x
@Haru hi Haru, it’s been really tough, do you mind if I private message you x
Of course happy for you to message me :) x
We are in the same situation but we have never been ones for dates. We also like to chill on an evening after we get our 15 month old to sleep! We cuddle on the sofa or not, and watch a show or a movie. Cook dinner together on his days off or I help as much as I can and we even enjoy sitting in silence together. Right now I'm on my phone and he's on laptop playing a game and we are just chilling before little one wakes up. It can be tough and everyday feels the same but it will get more exciting and trust me you will both have your hands full with the baby soon! It does put a strain on your relationship for a while because you have no time for each other as much
@Alina thank you I will give you a private message x
Sure no problem x
It’s the same shit every day 🤣 but I like it like that, he will take me out when I ask him but most of the time we’re both so shattered we’re in bed by 8pm most nights
Yeah no problem. Message whenever! X
we usually put on a show we watch together and then just cuddle and maybe get takeout or cook, me and my boyfriend personally never went on much dates before I go pregnant since we are both so antisocial so we make the most of each other’s company at home, we do work in the same job tho (before we got together haha we met in college and conveniently had the same job) but do very different hours so we aren’t constantly in each others faces🤣 we do have a little puppy at the moment too so it takes up a lot of our time I guess if anything’s changed with you and your partner I’d talk to him and have some sort of agreement on whether you do specific evenings as date nights etc, having a job and pregnancy is hard but you should still have communication with your partner especially if something is bothering you even if it’s not his or your fault :)
