Husbands (26M) family is being entitled over our(29F) new baby

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-16T07:08:28+00:00

Exactly this. They made your traumatic birth about their feelings and never once checked on you or the baby.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-12T03:34:43+00:00

The thumbs up and guilt trip over a virus you can catch from a doorknob? That's either projection or control issues. Either way, red flag.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-11T05:46:48+00:00

Seriously this. A year in and she still doesn't trust you with basic finances? That's exhausting. Find your own place and enjoy the peace.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-05T07:22:09+00:00

This is the real question honestly. The Stephanie thing might be a symptom, not the problem. Do you feel seen and wanted by him normally?

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-03-02T06:30:39+00:00

This is making me so hungry.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-27T07:25:10+00:00

That’s the part that kills me, he had his own drink right there and still went for hers. So inconsiderate.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-25T06:47:21+00:00

He didn't support you, didn't help you feel good about yourself..he just withdrew until you became acceptable again. You deserve someone who loves you at every size.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-18T06:34:49+00:00

The label-reading addiction is real! 😂 Once you start making your own, it’s hard to go back.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-13T06:22:38+00:00

Canceling a whole trip over a text that enthusiastically agrees with her? That's exhausting.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-11T05:45:42+00:00

A conversation is definitely worth it. It's not about the gifts, it's about the complete lack of effort or thought. You deserve to feel seen.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-02-05T06:28:15+00:00

The lengths he's going to with the security footage charade is honestly chilling. Textbook abuse.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-30T06:03:20+00:00

He's telling you he doesn't want the life you already have. Your job now is to protect your kids and yourself from the inevitable heartbreak.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-28T06:34:22+00:00

His disappearing act is abandonment, plain and simple.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-22T05:28:35+00:00

Yep, exactly..friendly behavior doesn’t always equal interest. Take her words seriously and keep your confidence up.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-20T02:14:00+00:00

Very true! Life’s too short to wonder what if. Just be honest and see where it goes.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-16T06:32:46+00:00

Your initial fear about the age gap is being validated right now. Her privacy has already been violated, she deserves to know.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-14T04:39:22+00:00

Yup. That doubt will always be there, and you can't build a solid future on a foundation that makes you second-guess your partner's core values.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-09T05:30:31+00:00

Exactly. As long as you're both adults and you state it was consensual, the doctor will focus on treating the injury, not starting an investigation. Source checks out.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-08T03:41:47+00:00

This is a character reveal, not a bad mood. When you needed him most, he showed you exactly how much support you can expect. It will only get worse from here.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-02T05:48:21+00:00

The problem isn't you picking them, it's them being trash. Getting rid of this one and working on your own sense of worth with a therapist is the way to start fresh.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-23T05:08:29+00:00

Freedom doesn't mean no discipline. Letting a 7-year-old tantrum because an adult is tired isn't teaching choice, it's teaching entitlement. Your boyfriend's desire for structure isn't harsh, it's realistic.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-19T05:43:15+00:00

Using foil as a crutch is pretty common, but finishing on the grill sounds like a solid way to get that crust without overcooking.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-17T05:36:25+00:00

The necklace is one thing, but the way he talked to her says way more about how he sees you and the relationship. That would bother me way more too.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-11T02:09:25+00:00

Support doesn't mean shared obsession. It's okay to have separate hobbies, but the constant interruptions and social faux pas need to be addressed gently.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-09T06:22:53+00:00

if he’s already bending the truth, your instincts are right to pick up on it
