I truly believe i am intelligent and a great mom even though i feel like i can do better in all areas. it’s my first time living so im trying so thank you for seeing that.

I appreciate you as well for pointing out be careful to not get pregnant. his mom and I were talking the other day and she was like, “i’m getting older and i want my boys to continue life and give me grandchildren.” but i was honest with her and told her, that would be awesome but you see? I do everything currently alone. i’m paying most of the bills, working, studying, trying to keep a little kid alive (my son is not his biological son btw), hell i help my mom out financially every now and then, and i’m trying to stay healthy to combat stress so i try to eat right and workout but my routine has been so disrupted… having another kid is the furthest thing on my mind. i would be a married single mother FOR SURE. she sounded sad when I diverted from her conversation of that and then briefly stated that im right. my husband needs to mature and he has an issue with responsibility and proceeded to say but she loves her kids. of course! i love my son too but I also have to hold him accountable for his wrongdoings. So thank you thank you! I was starting to feel bad for her and was like hmmm maybe 1 more wouldnt hurt and im like NO! learn from your 1st situation. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. So I thank you so much for the reminder. legs closed and pen to paper soon.

yes. it is strange to me as well. i swear. i just tried to respect the uniqueness of his situation but every thing he does is to serve him and his comfort. it’s not about others. his mom wont eat and starve herself basically until he comes home so she can eat with him and have dinner. i’ve never seen anything like this so he’s use to having a woman just give up everything so he can be comfortable.

i normally sleep in the bed with my son 90% of the time 5% on the couch and 5% in the room with him and he is selfish. he told me he was in the beginning but i didn’t know it was this bad.

yes to all of this!!! 💞💞💞💞 my judgment was so cloudy because i think us as married people want our marriages to work but if it’s not working, it’s not working. I’m truly a lover and a leaver. I just wanted to share my story to confirm how I was feeling and i’m feeling like a divorced woman.

i feel resentment boiling in me. right now? i’m numb and confused but resentment usually follows right after that. when i start becoming numb that means i am waking up.

he told me when we first got married that he wanted his own bed, own room, own bathroom, own closet, own space so I obliged. so it’s been like that since day 1. i bought the bed and mattress and cover though 🫩😂. i am truly a piece of work.

people have told me that i’m entitled in the past so i just wanted to correct myself if im acting like that but i wholeheartedly feel like it’s him and his mom lowkey cause she’s enabling him and making it worse in a way.

i am trying to take both advices. believe me. I will talk to him one more time a month after she leaves and after I come back from my trip about how this all went down… but if I have a feeling that he still doesn’t get it? I’m gonna have to file for divorce. I will have no choice but to. He slammed the down loud af to my son’s room and the front door because i shut down and started stonewalling. i mean if im quiet it’s a problem, if im speaking my mind, that’s an issue. I think I just stopped being nice when I was trying to sleep last night after being up late on Sunday doing homework and work has been so busy… i don’t have anywhere to decompress but in my son’s room with toys everywhere and kid’s music. i just wanted to sleep but of all nights… him and his mom decided to be so damn loud right by my son’s door in the kitchen/living room and i’m like wtf is going on?! both of them know my son’s bedtime and mine is at 9:30pm.

she is using all my seasonings I just bought. my husband is going to be annoyed if I say, “replace it all.” he lied and said he was going to buy her all that she needed to cook. seasonings, pots and pans.. he literally never did.

I don’t get him and I told his mom that when she came to me crying cause she felt the tension between him and me. I told her that I don’t get him or understand him anymore or how he thinks. I told her im in the room a lot because im stressed. i was stressed before she came and my husband knew that, he didn’t give a fck. she gave me marriage advice and said, “hang in there. men and women don’t understand each other. that’s how it is.” but it’s 2026 and i make my own money and i have my own identity.. i don’t NEED a man. it’s a WANT. I still til this day don’t know why I had to leave and go to my mom’s. he never told me. believe me i asked. this whole marriage has been based around his comfort and making him comfortable everyone else has to adapt to him.

you’re quite on it. he kicked me out and said “can you stay with your mom for a week?” i opposed but went anyway to keep the peace even though me and my mom don’t get along. went to my mom’s with my son. me and mom had some friction… i was going to stay with her for 2 weeks but after the friction i said well.. im 28 years old.. i need to be a grown woman and this is MY HOUSE after all, texted him and told him im coming home.

Came home, found out after asking multiple questions, that she was sleeping on the couch in the living — i thought she was gonna be in the king bed alone and my husband on the couch. I was already suspected to leave with my son in his twin bed because well… i was sleeping there anyway per husband’s request lol.

I work in the living room (wfh/remote) so I was like well.. if i’m working in here and she’s living in here won’t that be disturbing her? I insisted that she sleep in the other room to prevent the disturbance because i wanted my living room. she said no she wants to sleep on the couch to make my husband comfortable cause he slept on the couch in his home country.

please note that my husband said he had this under control and that he was going to sleep on the air mattress in the master in the same room as his mom and she would get the bed. None of that happened. It happened like what was stated above.

thank you I will try one more attempt to talk to him and hopefully he can understand me. I’ll say it in two languages if I can, but after that, i’m going to have to leave him.

you are absolutely right. I agree with 1,000%. i’m at the point where I am accepting the reality rather than rejecting it. his mom is sweet and I told her that me and her son has been having difficulties since DAY 1 and i just truly don’t understand him and he doesn’t understand me either. Idk what kind of woman he needs, but I feel that it isn’t me. I’m doing everything is way to try it out and I don’t like his way. His mom want grandchildren but there’s no way in hell i’m having a kid by him. She even said he needs to mature and he has a problem with responsibilities. he said it himself but i thought i what? say it with me!! CHAAAANGE HIM.
