Anyone else’s husband obsessed with sex. Like I’m taking care of the house and baby all day, I’m so touched out, and the second I hit the bed I’m getting poked 😭😭

This morning, my husband said he wanted some intimacy tonight. We've both been crazy busy today, and I'm not in the mood. He asked while making his dinner plate "what are my chances?". I told him "considering you're sweaty from mowing and I'm exhausted from the kids and trying to clean, I'm gonna say not good". Now ...

For us. (As in me and my partner) life is miserable. I have nowhere to go and he has nowhere to go. I believe it’s because we have no foundation, struggle with financial stability and have a lot of issues with giving up the “childless” lifestyle. He wants to ride the bike, play his game. While I’ve committed to a li...

My fiancée and I are getting married next year. My father passed away 13 years ago, and sadly I lost my mother last year. I have brothers, but I don’t feel comfortable asking them to walk me down the aisle. I want to ask my father in law, but I’m worried this will upset my brothers. Would I be wrong to do this? How ...

After a argument which was all my partners fault he's now giving me the silent treatment, I think it's so childish I don't know why hes doing this but it's annoying me, what's the silent treatment mean

I swear there’s always something that holds me back. Like needing to clean up around the house, anxiety, laundry, bottles, letting him nap, letting ME nap, feeding him, feeding ME. Before I know it, it’s evening time already and the day is already gone. I always see women taking out their newborns or 0-3 mos old b...

So I'm 4 weeks pregnant and have been so knackered today feeling sick and a bad guts. I was struggling to look after our 2 boys so he had to come off his computer. Now he's pissed at me am I the arsehole here?

Need to vent cause my feelings were pretty hurt. I went to sign up to the gym today cause I finally fell ready to get back into working out after a hellish postpartum (had several complications that’s are starting to get better finally) I didn’t get super dressed cause i have limited time to workout while my parents...

He sent me money and said "I go to drive a bit" he usually goes to drive to calm down. What do i do if he really did? I have noone else.

Hi girlies, my LO is 5 months and I've recently felt he isn't bonding with me and laughs with his grandparents and my husband more. Is it that he's forgot I'm his mum? Does he mistake the grandma for mum? I just feel so horrible he's my first born and we have bonded well and been very close the past 5 months but rec...

My daughter hates me. Wants to go non-communication. Anyone dealt with this? What's your story?

I love my baby and husband so much and I feel so blessed to have them both but I hate being a sahm and I can’t go back to work full time till my husband quits his night job which he’s prolly not till the end of next month but it’s like so draining being a sahm, it’s always something to do and I never catch a break o...

I have literally turned into my worst nightmare, my newborn is 6 weeks and is having me up around 3 times a night and doesn’t sleep much during the day so im pretty exhausted. Im doing the night feeds solo as my husband is working, im being offered support from family to look after my baby and I get some rest but I ...

Hey all! So my partner is going back to work tomorrow after having a few weeks at home with me after the baby was born (he’s now just over 3 weeks!) I’m so nervous about being on my own all day and dealing with everything by myself, my partner has been doing most of the brunt work while I’ve been recovering but now ...

I’ve cried twice this week because my son (3) has had tantrums / not listening to me. The first time was on Friday I was in primark and he wanted his new shoes on. I told him he had to wait until we’ve paid for them and he kicked off big time. I was so embarrassed I literally burst into tears. The 2nd time was today...

Does anyone else have a problem with grandparents allowing their grandkids to be disrespectful because they don’t want them to be disciplined by their parents? My MIL is blatantly letting my SD be disrespectful to her and she always allows her to defy my husband. This is unhealthy and we cant stand it.

Do any of you feel like your marriage has gotten more challenging since having children? I'm seriously more irritated with my husband than ever. It seems he expects me to be the only parent while doing housework Yet he has zero patience when it comes to our children and he goes into total freak out mode. I just...

My fiancé wants to send my baby to one of our parents to be watched during a night out with friends, but I am personally not ready to do that since she has just turned three months. I understand where he’s coming from because we haven’t had a day or a night to ourselves, but in my opinion that is what comes with be...

I’m a sahm and recently separated from my partner. Now that we’re no longer together, this weekend was the first time he’s had the kids and I had some alone time. At first I was super nervous, sad to leave them and questioned what I was going to do. I’m not used to doing much outside of mothering my children and it ...

So I'm only 9 weeks pregnant but I'm struggling to do anything other than sit and sleep. My husband has taken the lead with our 4 yo. But because I'm struggling to do anything I feel like it's putting such a strain on us. When I say I feel guilty because hes taking more on he just says its fine just look after yours...
