I’ve been sick with the flu the last couple days so I’ve spent most of the time in bed, and my husband has been parenting our 2 year old. He had a bad night with her last night (I think she’s also getting sick) and he has woken up so snappy and frustrated with everything she does. She’s just being a normal 2 year ol...

Unfortunately my partners relationship with his family has been fractured for the last 6+ months (through no fault of his own, although they don’t seem to see it that way) to the point that they ended up being told about our pregnancy quite late into it (we had so wished to share the news with them early but they we...

Anyone else feeling resentment towards their partners? I can't help it. I just feel like a robot, every day's the same. I feel like he's has to put minimal thoughts in anything home/children related because I'm always on top of it. I'm just mentally exhausted.

I feel like my world is just turning upside down… my husband has been blocking me on his social media because claiming I stalk him… my co worker let me use her phone just to see what he’s up too and just saw him commenting on other girls pages but he claims it’s not cheating unless it’s physical. He told one of the ...

How do you co-parent with a narcissist? I am honestly asking because I have no idea. The only thing I know what to do is remain as calm as I can, however I am human and it’s taking its toll on me hence why I am reaching out about this for the first time. Things have become so overwhelming complicated that I fear I w...

Your in-laws would just stfu and die. Exaggerating a bit but you get the idea. This is years after suffering through their abuse and taking so much shit that has taken an enormous toll on your own health. I’m just so done with their narcissistic behavior and wish I can go no contact which will never happen. I’m lite...

Can you guys share any advice or tips on how to keep your peace when your family-in-law are all targeting you as the enemy? I don't want to let it hurt me anymore. I want to keep my peace no matter what they say or do and not be bothered by the drama. I just haven't figured how yet 🤔

So my partner went out for the afternoon and night yesterday. He told me the city he was going to (he is away for work) l, he sent me a few pictures of the city but none with anyone in them. He told me one of the places he was at and sent a pic, but no one was in the pic. I asked him to text me when he got back to...

I understand we all have different opinions on what spoiling is ❤️ I was given a life expectancy of 5 years ( I’d rather not discuss why). I still live at home and don’t work due to my condition but have a good income. I am very limited on what I can do with my child as we have to be accompanied out and about. so...

Sitting at a cookout at my mom’s house, that wasn’t supposed to be a cookout. I came here to tell my mom I’m pregnant but it’s turned into a drinking and a smoking party. My partner gets to do everything I can’t and it feels unfair to say the least.

Hi All. Every Friday/ weekend, my husband HAS to see his friends. He will usually go out at 9.30PM and come home around 2AM. Is this normal? We have a 12 month old. If I say anything, he will say I’m controlling, say it’s because I have no friends that’s why I don’t understand, says he has to go out; will scream, sh...

Hi ladies! On holiday at the moment with my partner and little one and after almost a week of getting dolled up in nice dresses and makeup and bikinis etc, I mentioned to my partner that I was upset that he hasn’t said I look pretty or beautiful or sexy or even nice… I’m a STAHM that lives in dirty pyjamas and unwas...

So, my partner never plans anything he never buys me stuff (if he does it’s because he said horrible shit and is trying to kiss up) anyway, he didn’t plan anything special he didn’t get me anything he didn’t make me coffee in the morning (he said he would) said he’d make a big breakfast but didn’t do either of those...

Me and my husband are opposite ends of the worry scale when it comes to our children and risks of them getting hurt. I am the worrier and he is the chilled one who says things like ‘it will never happen to us.’ or ‘there’s only a 1% chance our child will get hurt’ etc. I get that I over worry but he never has my ba...

My husband is really against my daughter seeing us naked. Don’t get me wrong I am not walking around the flat naked for her to see . I close the door when I go to the toilet or take a shower. But sometimes we go to public toilet together or we get change at the swimming pool, or she will come to speak to me when I ...

How can you tell if the issues are just part of having two small ones - just out of two under two?? I feel like we don't get along anymore - like we have nothing in common, it's like his life hasn't changed at all since having the babies and mine obviously has hugely. I realised tonight if a counselor asked me how...

I feel like my partner only wants to take part in the “good parts” of raising a child. He has no patience, when she cry’s he just shouts at her even though she’s the most chill baby and hardly ever cry’s but he just loses his shit and it won’t have even been 5mins. I feel like I do everything on my own and I’m so l...

Hi really random , has anyone had a situation where your partner is the last sibling adult in the house and has it ever caused problems? Because he argues with her constantly to the point it started to sound like she wants ownership over everything he does . He can’t do anything without her getting pissed off . Or h...

Husband and I started a business and it’s already taking off. It’s going extremely well and I cannot stress how grateful I am for this to be happening. But omg I am so tired I can’t even think! I stay home with our twins; cook, clean, educate, make appointments, you know- all the SAHM stuff. Husband has a career...

I’m currently almost 5 months pregnant and I have a 2 year old and I’m struggling with my energy levels. I’m a stay at home mom/wife and I’ve been feeling so much guilt for not having the energy to keep my toddler entertained and being as present as I used to be. I feel like all my energy goes in to keeping the hous...
