Marriage and Babies

Speaking to a long distance friend of mine and I was shocked to hear she is now single momming (I always looked up to them as a couple, he was originally my friend). Apparently he cheated and moved out to live with his now girlfriend. They have two kids. We are all mid thirties, this just so seems like problems our parents have or older people in the movies and it has me thinking. With new, first baby coming and dynamics changing is there anything you wish you were more mindful of in relation to keeping your marriage great. I know I don't need more on my plate but I love my husband and care about his happiness so much and know he is the same about my happiness. And I just want to be mindful of ways in which he will struggle or things that will divide us in advance. My biggest worry is probably intimacy as my sex drive has not been the same since I went off birth control and I'll obviously be feeling different in my body post baby on top of it. But also just everything, life stuff! All tips welcome!

It sounds like the guy was the problem in the example with your friend. I find my sex drive isn't the best during pregnancy, but my partner is the same. All you can do is your best in relationships, I think. Check in with each other from time to time and ask if there's anything they need from you or tell them if there's anything you're lacking. People can be perfect partners and still be cheated on sadly 🫠

@Lizzie thanks! I think the reason it shook me so much is because aside from my husband he is one of the LAST people I would ever have expected that from.

People can surprise you in the worst ways 🫠

It all depends on person, man or woman they will cheat if they want to and nobody can stop them. But try to listen to self improving pod casts, you will love yourself more, love ur new body and ur confidence will attract him, bc he see how much u love yourself and he knows he has to value us more and accept your new the way you are ;) Also it's good for men, to hang out with their own friends and chill and miss their wives, so yes let him miss u sometimes. Or u hang out with ur friends for a night or 2 away from him. But listen to Jay Sheety, Mel Robbins ;D pod cast

@Leyla thanks so much. All good things to remember ❤️
