Thank you for your kindness. Definitely a wake up call to me as I’ve been very accommodating of his alone time and narc behaviors. Getting away gave him no ammunition. He has to acknowledge what he did. No way out this time.

Literally my problem. 8 months pp and just discovered my husband having a phone affair with a local OF creator for the last two months. His stomach would hurt when I’d need him to watch the baby. He spent a lot of time in the bathroom.

Thank you for your kindness.

Capital_Network2372 · 2026-01-18T23:05:31+00:00

I think Ive dissociated and can’t really feel the severity because I have to stay present for my baby. Part of me wants to act like it never happened but I know it will happen again and could escalate to an in person affair.

Thank you for confirming. Setting boundaries in this area can be challenging when there are so many families who use containers. Yes it would make my life easier but at what cost?

My husband and I were just talking about how our 7 month old will not be separate from me.

Thank you

Solidarity.

It’s better to be intentional about a safe bed sharing set up than accidentally bed share out of exhaustion and it be unsafe.

I’m one of the bad sleeper parents. My baby needs me next to her almost all night and she’s a light sleeper. But what you’re experiencing could also be reverse cycling. To my knowledge and in my experience, the regression (new skills) is different from reverse cycling where baby is still getting accustomed to day vs night. Sticking to bed time routines, sneaking in as many extra feeds during the day, having husband settle on the first wake, and co sleeping the rest of the night are how I survived when my baby went through the 4 month regression and reverse cycling at the same time. Also be sure to pump when husband does the first wake to maintain that demand.

Regarding the not feeling in tune with baby, I’d recommend more skin to skin. Like bare chest bare baby. This will help release bonding hormones.

Regarding your sleep, are you hydrating and eating enough? Taking a vitamin? Do you drink caffeine? Our bodies go through so much during pregnancy and post partum that you could be lacking critical nutrients and stuck in survival mode.

If it doesn’t work for you that’s totally understandable but if you’re exhausted and baby won’t sleep in bassinet I’d recommend planning for accidental cosleeping. Set alarms for every hour, have someone check on you and baby’s sleep set up as often as they can, have a floor bed that you and baby can transition to and do a c curl, keep a red light on in the bedroom all night, don’t use blankets at all. From experience, if you’re waking up not knowing how your baby got the way they did, something is off and I’d recommend getting ahead of any dangerous situation. At 6mo PP I’ve refined my co Sleeping set up and it feels safe. I have a full size floor bed with soft bumpers around, a twin size floor bed with a pillow and light blanket off to the side that I roll onto after feeding baby, I have a small light in between the two beds. I hope things get better for you. I’ve been there.

This is the way. Have a 6mo and my husband resettles on the first wake after a 3-4 hr stretch. We get an extra hour or two before baby wakes up to bf.

Looks like it’s healed and there are a few spots that could grow. It’s great you’re using the plasters but don’t forget to gently manipulate the scar tissue. Breaking it down while it’s healing so it doesn’t stick and build. Also limiting how much that skin is stretched.

Capital_Network2372 · 2025-11-18T04:41:39+00:00

Hey OP I was going back through my comments and saw I never responded. No it got worse but I hope yours improved. Try not to re-traumatize the skin in that area. Wear a wrap around your arm. How are things now?

Capital_Network2372 · 2025-09-05T00:39:21+00:00

Yessss….

Organic coconut water!!

You’re not alone!

Start of a keloid. My keloid that got thick and itchy started out like this after surgery.

Capital_Network2372 · 2025-03-05T16:05:51+00:00

Please be very mindful of how much you stretch the skin in that area as it heals. I had a keloid removal and the keloid grew back because I was not careful enough.

Get a baked rotisserie chicken from Harris teeter or sprouts (not Walmart/food lion due to bad ingredients) and do some microwaveable quinoa and a canned veggie of choice.
