My husband and I have an 18 month old together, in May I confirmed that he had been cheating on me a few months previous to that and I was absolutely broken and devastated because I really never saw it coming. He promised it would never happen again and we cried together and he really made me feel like that was true...

Is anybody in the trenches with a 12yr old daughter, she was an absolute dream up until she started High school in September, we had a huge row last night and she packed her stuff and left, she came back in the end but keeps telling me she doesn't want to be here in this home anymore, she has everything she could ne...

The two days working from home are becoming a struggle the older he's getting. Mostly because I work during his awake hours so he's slumped over a tablet and phone as I don't have much time to spend with him Struggling as to how to go forward, if I cut my hours I'll lose pay and financially we cannot right now but a...

My LO goes to bed at 7, he wakes up EVERY NIGHT and stays awake for up to 5 hours full of energy. He stands up. Climbs , screams (excitedly) and I’m generally just getting to the point of exhaustion. I don’t know how long I can keep doing this. For example, he went to bed at 7 last night, woke up at midnight, was aw...

I think my husband is only kind and friendly to me when we have sex. He works 4 nights on and 4 nights off. He wouldn’t talk to me or be friendly until the day his shift ends and then at night he would want to. I mostly feel angry about this and if I say no that night, that will bring on hostile treatment until I gi...

So long story short, my mil is manipulative and controlling. She wants to control our lives and has done everything since our daughter was born almost 4 years ago. To say a few things, she would call hospital behind my back questioning my daughter’s care - not her place!!!! She would turn up at our window uninvited ...

So let’s say you as the wife make 4x the amount your husband makes.. Would you be ok with…..

My husband was on the road for 5 days the whole time he was gone we were talking/facetiming and I was really missing him but since my husband doesn’t really say I love you I miss you and any form of affection with me over the years I taught him what I want told him what I need made him give me kisses before he leave...

I’m a SAHM my partner works. He covers bills, I get food stamps and cover all food. If I sell anything of mine or my sons I get necessities shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, diaper cream etc. I don’t grab anything until it’s absolutely necessary like I cut open my toothpaste and use it all before grabbing more with ...

My husband and I haven’t slept in the same room for almost two years now. We have two kids. A three year old and a one year old. He has been sleeping with my two year old and refuses to sleep train him. I have no say in this. I am so lonely, I lack the intimacy I desire. we just moved into a new house, I literally h...

My boyfriend thinks I’m being ridiculous, what’s your personal opinion… the doctor said to limit outings and the amount of people who touch and hold the baby. She is only two weeks old today and I’m basically staying inside or at least not going out unless absolutely necessary like the grocery store or doctors. I do...

Just want opinions as a ftm. I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable. Brief background... My partner & I have been together 15 years. He has a 20 yo daughter to previous relationship & we welcomed our little girl in May. Over the years both my parents have been seriously ill & I lost my dad 5 years ago & I'm now ...

Can’t remember.. but everything we have in this world (myself, my children & he by extension) is bc of my doing my due diligence. He recently…

Hey guys, I had my little one back in June, he was 10 days overdue and all I can think about is how angry and upset I am with how it went. My partner panics over the slightest things he’d read and we’d been to antenatal classes so we knew kind of when we’d need to go hospital, I started getting pains and instantly ...

The disrespect is getting worse and I need to do something about it. This is long but I need advice We both work full time, but I’m expected to do everything with the kids and housework by myself. I’m never allowed to question it because he says ‘we are not the same’. All week I get myself ready for work, get ki...

Lately I’ve been feeling like I don’t engage with my baby as much as I see other moms do. I mean I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always with him but for example lately he’s been going to bed around 4:30 which is super early I know. That’s another issue lol but for the last month I’ve been noticing that I could absolut...

When you have a bad husband is a toxic person, he can manipulate any situation if he has a narcissist personality I have such type of a husband, who used my daughter against me only because of this disgusting person, my daughter slapped me in front of the driver and the reason was. I asked the driver. Why did you ...

I’m having a bit of a crisis. We moved in with my in laws about 6mo ago with the plan to stay 6mo to a year. Our goal was to save money to buy a house close to them in the same town. They live in a smaller town. Not a lot to do, fairly conservative, religious. For context our pediatrician has God/Jesus signs all ove...

I know I probably sound like an awful mother but how do you cope. I’m a single mum and I’m really struggling to cope with my little boys behaviour. He is one and no matter how much I childproof my rooms he seems to always get upto no good. I can barely even go to the toilet withought him ruining things. He’s 1 and a...
