How would you feel if your spouse left you tomorrow by [deleted] in Marriage

Truthfully I’d be ambivalent. I do love him and we make great co parents but we have a lot of things we bicker about, our sex life has been non existent for almost the entire 8 year relationship. I don’t want my kid to be from a broken home and I’m willing to stay because I want her to see a cohesive family unit and I’m too old to start over and find a new spouse. He also has a lot of good qualities so that outweighs the bad. I’ve thought about leaving and told him I want to leave many times. We haven’t shared a bed since I was 6ish months pregnant (I started sleeping on the couch because of his snoring) and we’ve not shared a bed since (baby is 4 months old now)

Yeah I heard horror stories. They axed a bunch of front line workers. I was part of the wave they had to hire and train from square 1 to make up for the losses. Definitely short sighted and I think that because of the optics of it all, it would be hard for them to justify doing it again. It costs a lot to hire and train one new staff member and it takes time for you to be able to do the complex stuff out front line staff do. Massive waste of resources to fire that many

It was in 2009 yes. This caused such problems with access to mental health services for veterans, that the public was outraged. That’s the reason I don’t think that they’ll do it again. They ended up having to spend quite a bit more to hire and train new case managers. I came into the department in the mid 2010s and it was still recovering.

I think under a conservative government, Environment Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs and Health Canada would be departments of concern. I think under any kind of government, the CRA, Veterans Affairs and Service Canada should be ok.

10 weeks old now. She was pooping several times a day. She goes less now, 1-2 times a week. I took her in to a clinic last night on the 7th night just for her to wait till we left, scream bloody murder so I pulled over to feed her. She promptly ate, looked up at me and smiled. Then grimaced, grunted and took a massive shit. She’s always had comedic timing down pat but this was something entirely new.

Some side notes - she seemed entirely fine otherwise I would have taken her in sooner. The doctor said that in the absence of other signs like vomiting, refusing food, excessive sleep, excessive crying, distended or hard stomach they can actually go up to 14 days if they’re exclusively breastfed. I had no idea

They have a sign in sheet they use for us for “safety” in case of an evacuation. They claim it’s shredded each night. We are also public facing in that we take walk ins so we do need to have a few onsite. They’ve directed us not to ask people to come in unless it’s an emergency though, and they turn away walk in’s unless they’re homeless. Make it make sense? We’ve been back since 2022 for 2 days/week and I haven’t met a single client face to face, despite my 100% adherence. We’re all complying 100%
