My husband & I have zero in common politically, I have felt so alone the whole election (not knowing other's views) and we escalate anytime we try to talk & share what we're hearing.

He is quite vocal on the game and can be quite loud at ...

Has anyone else been feeling like they go through waves with their partner? One minute everything he does or says makes me want to scream then in the next breath I love everything he does. My mood swings are terrible but mainly aimed towards him has anyone else been like this?

Mind you I'm sick af and can have a horrible headache and my period is late. He then went and smacked me and hit my ear and when I said "ow" he said "I didn't hit you ear ...

I’m so frustrated with my husband. He works on the weekends at night, and I never ask him to do anything on his workdays. All he does is sleep and work which is fine. We even agreed that Monday can be his day to do whatever. If he wants to sleep all day, or work on something, it’s his day. My issue is the other da...

I’m so jealous of the Mums who go to the gym, lunch with friends, shopping, get their nails done, shave your legs, get your eyebrows waxed, read or have hobbies… How do you do it? Finding it difficult to look after myself. I’m loosing myself. I work full time, out the house at 7:30am and travel back home from Lo...

My husband is WFH. And it's not that bad, but I am never alone. Especially with my very clingy 9mo old. And I don't really need that much alone time, but I never have time to talk to friends on the phone because I feel like my phone calls bother him unless it's family or I can't joke around freely. I would take my c...
