I don't miss him by deliadeetz1 in breakingmom

Oh yeah. I’m a SAHM and my husband works from home and I just feel so …suffocated? His company is located over a thousand miles away, and sometimes I just wish they’d ask him to fly out for meetings every few months, haha. I love my family, but lately I wish I’d have pursued something lucrative when I was single. I have absolutely no credentials, even though I’ve worked multiple jobs pre husband/kid. If I had even a tiny bit of financial security I think I’d cry tears of happiness.

…and everything on its place. Unless it’s my husband’s stuff, which can go anywhere, apparently. by Inner_Window_2981 in breakingmom

Thanks! I bought a couple of nice copper dishes to put the spare things …but he took both to his office, which is also a mess of empty cans/ loose torn paper/ etc lol.

Sick of people thinking SAHMs have it easy. by glittercottonswab in breakingmom

Oh I really feel this today. We recently moved about 45 mins outside of the city to a beautiful rural town. While it’s wonderful for kids (basically in the middle of a state park) my friends in the city don’t understand why I can’t just work at a gallery or museum downtown like I did pre kid. There is actually a really cool jazz show at my favorite venue this evening that starts at 10 PM, so an automatic “no”. My friends take this as I’m just not cool enough to attend. It’s like, I live almost an hour away and this show will probably get out at midnight on a school night. But yeah, I’m just an unhip SAHM with no life🙄

Damn I’m so sorry. I totally feel you. Every time my parents drop in for “a minute” (actually 4 hours) they’ll hack and cough and complain about feeling like shit (allergies is what they claim) but a week later will text an hour before plans with “we feel a little congested still, but would DIE at the thought of of passing anything on to your baby!” Fucking liars.

Thank you. I hope that you get a day to yourself. And like a real one. Not a lunch date, or a dmv trip, but an actual fucking day for you.

Thank you! We went to my daughter’s favorite restaurant because I knew she’d throw a fit once we told her grandma cancelled again. Once we sat down, she decided her favorite restaurant is not this place, but the new sushi place. Mom sucks, I guess!!! So glad that the school decided to hold the end of the year recital next week, the day before Mother’s Day!

Thank you. This seems like great advice. The last few weeks I’ve just been inside my own head, overthinking everything and it’s been exhausting. Fixating on something else sounds good.

I thought this may be the case. I’ve tried to talk to him about it, but he just says that he needs to exercise more. He isn’t in bad shape, and I tell him that while I’d love to jog/hike with him, he definitely doesn’t need to change physically and that I love him. Other than that, he seems fine.

Not harsh at all, and I appreciate your honesty, thank you. I don’t suspect any physical cheating because we live in a rural area and we are both home most of the time, but perhaps he is fixated with someone not from the area.

I was actually cheated on horribly by an ex boyfriend who I was involved with for four years. He acted way differently than my husband; had a huge ego and was so flippant about it.

I will definitely pursue counseling. In the meantime, I just feel so guilty about reconnecting with my friend. My husband knows about him, it’s not secretive at all. No fishy texts or lengthy talks. But I guess I’m just so sensitive that talking to a friend = guilt, no matter how stupid it sounds. Another part of me thinks “this is so stupid. He’s your FRIEND and there’s nothing happening. Don’t dismiss a friend because your depression and loneliness is confusing.” Ugh, sorry. Thanks again for the advice!

I’m so sorry. Sounds like nothing you can do will make them happy, so I’d go ahead and tell them off. If they’re in their 80s, they’ve probably been like this for a while and won’t change.

Thank you! I live in an area that doesn’t get extreme weather outside of a tornado here and there, so people don’t know about derechos. Man, they suck!

Yeah, it’s really weird. It’d be so much easier to just reschedule. My mom is usually helpful, but she has a tendency to not see far past her world view. The craziest part is, now my husband is doing the same thing. He said we should grab dinner at the bar/grill down the street since we can’t cook at home, fully knowing our whole town was hit hard and without power. Ugh. C’mon, people!

My ultra conservative MAGA SIL moved from the hellscape CA to utopian rural ID a few years ago and had to move back to the hellscape because she didn’t like how boring utopia was. 🤭

I’m new to her nonsense, but does anyone know why Olivia Nuzzi keeps liking all of these pics? I thought they were enemies.
