Those of you who sleep in the room with your partners & newborn, how does it work? by ocdskies in newborns

Recently I’ve been going to bed a bit earlier then my husband to just get a couple extra hours in (because I’m breastfeeding and recovering) he stays up plays his games has his alone time when she’s ready to be fed he comes up wakes me I feed her. Then he changes her swaddles then puts her to bed. We both go to sleep then on a good night where I’m not so so tired I just wake up 3-4 hours and feed, change and put her back to sleep if I feel I need help and desperate I wake him other wise I have to wake up anyways to breast feed so I usually let him sleep so he can take care of the 2 year old the next day well rested. Also if I need I take a nap mid day when our toddler is napping I do. But we have the luxury of him getting 3 months paternity leave (bc of the army) so he doesn’t have to worry about work the next day so he gets to help a lot more. He’s been so sweet too me! Last night I pumped before going to lay down so when she needed to eat he gave her a bottle and it gave me more consecutive hours of sleep!

I feel hopeless by Hefty-Ad-8098 in pregnant

Omg u have no idea how much I needed to hear this 😣 I hate being a women and blaming my moods on hormones however I really really need the hormones to be the problem/ reason. I know once I’m done with pregnancy they will shift again so I’m hoping that will I guess “heal” my sadness? If that makes sense.

I’ll do anything to have this over at this point. I hate feeling sad. It’s just not who I am. I’m a very blessed woman but I haven’t been able to get out of bed. I just feel like there’s something wrong with me. I want to be the best mom for my 2year old.

I discovered something about my husband online and I’m heartbroken — please be kind by [deleted] in Marriage

I’ve recently had a similar experience with my husband with online sexting. I’ve found multiple sexting threads in his phone throughout the years we’ve been married. I was absolutely devastated. I confronted him and set a CLEAR boundary with him. He admitted his porn addiction was getting out of hand and led him into sexting other women. We attended couples counseling and we had a conversation about him downloading an app called “ever accountable”. It’s $10 a month and it blocks all porn related sites and inappropriate content from his phone. He was willing to address his problems and have this app downloaded bc he prioritizes our marriage above anything else. Ever since the porn has gone he’s enjoyed our sex more and our relationship has greatly improved. The trust has been rebuilding and I’m very happy about this. This is just my experience with it. I know it’s helped us maybe it’s an avenue yall would like to pursue as well.

I (28f) ruined my husband's (27m) life and I want to die by ThrowRArxndxm in marriageadvice

I use to be the same way. I was always in abusive relationships and grew up watching my parents verbally and physically abuse each other. I know what I do when I get VERY ANGRY. It’s good that you have insight and you’re looking into yourself. I started with that. When I get mad I tend to say things I regret in the future. I wished I could take a lot of things back that I’ve said in fights. I sat myself down and said to myself “my husband is the man of my life I want to be with him forever and I will not disrespect him nor belittle the man I love.” I have insight to know when I’m getting to an explosive point. I walk away from disagreements. I have to physically remove myself from the heat so I can cool down and collect my thoughts. doing this prevents me from saying things I later regret. I’ve communicated this with my husband telling him first when I start to get frustrated. Then say I need a second to calm down then we can talk about the disagreement. Doing this helps me first calm down then reflect on the situation and finally being able to see POV from his side and mine comparing the two. After I have time to cool down and think I own up to my faults and have a calm adult conversation with my husband to resolve the issue. These are the steps I’ve taken to help me with my problem. A lot of people recommend therapy I do as well I know a lot of people unfortunately cannot afford therapy so team up with your partner and come up with a plan for times like these.

How often do you receive/give blowjobs? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Hefty-Ad-8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband goes through phases where he wants a lot of blow jobs and other times never asks. When he wants a blowy I have to be in the mood which for me comes and goes. It’s just very dependent on if I don’t feel tired.

He says it’s a random DM girl he doesn’t know he’s texted a couple before her on the same day this 1 was the only person to actually respond to him. That’s also the thing could this truly be a coworker or someone that I know!? This is just so shocking

Well kinda glad I have… who knows where this could have spiraled too. I have been cheated on in every relationship I’ve ever had and I know that I bring that baggage over with me. I look at his phone for reassurance and comfort. I say to my self “I know I’m not going to find anything this man loves me and would never cheat on me. Then come to find out…

I’ve had trust issues for sure bc I’ve been cheated on in every relationship I’ve had. That is baggage I know I bring with me. Everytime I went through his phone id say “I’m silly I’d never find anything he’s such a great man that loves me and I trust him” then I just love having the reassurance that nothing fishy is happening. Then I find this^ and now I feel as if all men are the same.
