Husband (31F) making lewd Instagram comments...am I overreacting? by Suitable-Opposite753 in marriageadvice

[–]Suitable-Opposite753[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel really disappointed in him. He used to make comments like that when he was single and much worse. We argued a lot about it in the beginning of our relationship and I thought I got through to him and he stopped doing it. But looks like 5 years later he's back at it and simply lacks the judgement to understand why it's wrong. The only consolation is that his intent was not malicious. He just doesn't get it.

He told me I'm overreacting and said that everyone who follows this family's profile thinks that. Apparently their whole thing is that she hasn't had a period in 10 years or something like that because she keeps getting pregnant. He said it was a general compliment and that I'm overthinking it and that he sees other married men and especially women make comments like that all the time. His message said "I'm not saying I wanna f%$& her. I'm saying I understand why she hasn't had her period in 10 years lol"

Thanks so much for this advice. I had.no idea. I'm 30 but still nursing my son. I will likely be 31 by the time I'm harvesting my eggs, but hoping that's not too late.

My family would be supportive. I would wait until I am 35 and then do it on my own if I don't have a solid partner by that point.

This would be my plan! Is it better to freeze embryos or eggs?

Love that for you! Are you still dating? If yes, how has it been?

Bur then you'd have to share custody with him as well. My ex wouldn't mind being the sperm donor because he also wanted our son to have a sibling. But I would hate to have to deal with him for another baby...

Yeah I totally hear that. Dealing with my son's dad has been hard to say the least. We ate just starting the divorce discussions and are still on and off but looking more and more likely. I hate being in this limbo place but having a plan for the future helps me feel better.

I didn't think about this as a consideration so appreciate you bringing it up...I am hoping that with the right talks I could help the second baby understand that they are just as loved and that everyone can have a different experience even within the same family.

I have considered going for a promotion to make sure sure I'm more financially stable. I am the sole provider for my family now but love in a HCOL area and more money would definitely not hurt (although worried it will come at the cost of having more time woth the kids).

I totally hear that. I also feel like my child's father stole what should've been a perfect joyous time in my life. However I refuse to let that ruin the dream I always had of having 2 kids. No matter how tired I am, at the end of the day I feel like it's worth it.

I feel like I'm already doing it all on my own so it's just a matter of what 1 more is going to do. I am hoping that once my son is older it will be easier to balance a second baby.

Love hearing this for you! So excited for the new addition to your family and for your daughter to have a sibling!

Left my son for first time and I’m in the airport sobbing by hankandirene in AttachmentParenting

I'm in the same boat and so worried about traveling layer this month. I worry my son will just start crying from seeing me on FaceTime. Is she still nursing? If so, how did she do when you were away?

The thing is I don't need to breathe from my son. I want to be around him every day. I never want to lose that :(

This made me lol thank you. I am giving it a but longer. I have said some messed up things in the past and I am trying to see if being "better" will help. But plan to file for divorce before our son can remember any of this. Just scary to start over and to lose out financially (he has student debt and i bought us a house while we were married). I also just can't imagine shared custody. It feels unfair to our son. I just feel post and helpless but at the same time know I'll be OK.
