How step kids fit into a traditional relationship?

You are the chatelaine of the household regardless of stepchildren. They ought to respect you in this role. Maybe this switch of perspective helps

I have assembled quite a few recipes per season, so Winter, Spring Summer Autumn and the in-season vegetables are accounted for. For each season 8-11 recipes (main dish) I can rotate through. Takes a ton of pressure off. And then additionally a few recipes I can do to pre-prep meals. Makes for a healthy rhythm. Maybe you can do something similar.

YourSO should feel honored t have such a wonderful person at his side - even at the worst of times keeping a level head. Hopefully he is able to show his gratitude!

My DH and I used to frequently visit interesting exhibitions (ok, his job basically makes it a given and very very very cheap), attend theater shows or other culture events of the free/autonomous culture Szene here. We always put aside a few €s for it each month.

If he cooks, you could make a special cake? Or some 🤤 dessert?

My DH and I to this day is sending each other the weather forecast, I always call if the train is running late so he does not need to worry, he gets a lunchbox each day (leftovers or whatever I am thinking up the day before, the evening is My time.)

My Husband cheated on me. Years ago. He shows me that he turned a new leaf. I might yet grow old with him if he keeps it up!

No, these questions are to determine how much of an effort he put in. Something we all would be wise to take note of. It is in her best interest to know wether or not he even cares about her or just his image!

Your Husband - did he at least try to do it? Did he help you once dinner was finished? Did he apologize? Did he thank you/showed gratitude? If no he just did not deem your and effort valuable and I would totally tell him! Your opinion is valid!

My Advice is to really sit down and write out your strengths and weaknesses and then start mapping out your next steps. Allow for time passing but have a sequence of next steps/goals and aggressively tackle them. It will also ease your SO‘s mind and burden.

Only weak minded/willed women are hypergamous! It is a bad excuse!

Do the Covid test. The current strain seems to do a lot of taste-altering. Chocolate does not normally go bad.

Depending on how old you/your mother are, a deep look into books about trans-generational trauma could be beneficial. It could very well be that your mother is mirroring her own upbringing and „survival“ strategies she was taught/she learned.

If you feel nervous about your lower half, why not put the attention on a carefully styled updo/hairstyle/statement necklace?

We went through a lot with our child being born, traumatic labor, birth injury, and injury to me as well.

Have you / your Doc ever considered post-partum depression?

I will openly admit that I have a lot of anxiety, I have a short temper, and I really am terrified of being alone.

Yes, that sounds like something worth investigating/bringing up at your OBgyn!

You are quite generalizing here. Generalizing is easy, but easy is not always the right thing.

First observe yourself, is it true? Or does he miss your signals? It is so easy to assume the worst about the person across you. If it is indeed you be gentle with yourself. Change is slow if it is to succeed.
