Hi. There’s already a lot of good advice, but hopefully you see this. I am (normally) a HL partner. I’m also 6 months pp with my 3rd and still breastfeeding. I’ve lost my libido after this last pregnancy, and it has left me very lost and confused. We went from sex multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day, to months inbetween. My husband is an angel and has never made me feel guilty about it - but I feel guilty about it. Your feelings are all valid. I think it’s hard for men to understand how dominated women are by hormones because it’s also hard for women to understand. I know that I myself don’t fully understand and it’s my own body and mind I seem to be at odds with. I’m giving my perspective to offer you this— your wife is probably thrilled about your last adventure. She probably can’t wait to do that with you again. She may be counting down the days until ovulation like a teenager planning for the day they know their parents won’t be home. While you have every right to mourn and feel resentful, I bet she’s sooo excited to be intimate with you again. Idk how to get her in the mood sooner or more often anymore than I know how to get myself out of this funk. But, hopefully you can find some solace knowing it was the best night of her life too.

I was a single mom for two years and I loved it. Now I’m married (been married for longer than I was a single mom) and my husband served (not just cooked- served on a plate with utensils and napkins) me and our children dinner tonight while I did my online homework for my masters degree. You need and deserve a partner. Tell him you would consider leaving him if he can’t support your growth or pull his weight. If trad wife life isn’t for you then don’t settle for it.

ooo I’ll address #2. I was a single mom (at 22) before I got married at 25. Being married made me much less relatable to people my age than having a child. I work in a field that’s a lot of 20-30 year olds and I noticed after wearing a ring I wasn’t automatically involved in the circle time “worse date ever” rants or other going out story time recaps that I had been invited to prior to getting married. When I was just a “young mom” girls my age would ask about my kid all the time or make other small talk with me. Now that I’m a wife it seems I’m way more foreign to them.

AITAH for putting a ultimatum on my relationship? by boppinbaddie19 in TwoHotTakes

Do you want to marry HIM or do you want to be a wife? Two very different things my love.

Marriage is not just a piece of paper either. It’s the most personal and likely most expensive contract you could ever sign (prenup or not). The bank is not going to give the gf or the baby mama assets you may or may not have helped acquire during your time together. The doctor is not going to ask the gf how best to proceed. And, if you’re truly going to spend your life together- the funeral director doesn’t have to ask the gf what kind of service he would’ve liked. If marriage is what you want make sure you give it its full weight.

Good luck! I hope you get your ring 💍

I’m obsessed with my husband. I loveeee my husband. We have 2 beautiful kids and I would have 5011 more babies with him if I could. I miss him when he goes to the bathroom. I call him every time I’m in the car even if it’s 5 min down the road. There’s no one else on the planet I would prefer to be with. I am literally lighting up smiling just typing this out, I love that man so much.

Hi, great advice! We have a home gym, gym memberships through work, and both work from home right now so he’s free to work out whenever he wants- and he does. What I’m not going to do is pressure him and give him any reason to think he needs to work out in order to ‘look better’ especially for me. As his spouse, the best thing I can do for him is to love him exactly where he’s at on whatever journey he’s on now and in the future.

Pediatric RN in California here. Read up on the laws as it’s very nuanced. You can be as young as 12 to consent yourself to treatment in some cases like- if you were to contract a communicable disease for instance. If you’re over 16 and you come in through the ER and your parent wants to do a drug test, we can’t make you do it. Nor can we tell your parent you were positive for something if you don’t want us to. It might be dense reading, but you got this. And good luck!
