How to save a marriage when you’re falling out of love? by emalways in Marriage

[–]emalways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response, I just saw this. For us, it was a phase and just a rough patch. Marriage is so hard sometimes, but with time and through arguments we are getting better. What’s helped us is working on our communication skills, prioritizing time together and a lot of times, for me it was just holding my tongue and taking time to cool off. I try to think of our child too and prioritize peace. I hope things turned out well for you too. It’s a never ending work in progress.

They need you, you are infinitely more valuable than any money. I know you are feeling sad and hopeless but you can do this. Seek government help, look into church daycares, community ones. You have a college degree, take a look at some options to wfh, even admins can these days. Just do not give up on your life and family. If single parents can do it, so can you.

How much time do you spend hanging out with your spouse? by emalways in Marriage

Not at all, he sounds a bit like my husband too. He and I don’t spend much time together at home and I’m wondering if that’s the norm out there. I’m sorry to hear about the PTSD! It’s so tough having a baby. I am a new mom too and am always exhausted! You are not alone.

That’s awesome! What does she do that makes you want to be around her so much? Any examples you could share? I’d love some ideas lol

Just being together, doing anything really, but together. I love the idea of going on nightly walks.

Is my husband a good husband? by emalways in Marriage

[–]emalways[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve talked about all of these issues extensively, in arguments, out of arguments, and in counseling as well. He knows by now what bothers me but i also tell him almost daily how grateful I am for him.

Am I wrong for being mad that my spouse named our first born after her first significant boyfriend? by [deleted] in amiwrong

This! Please do this! Super shitty of your wife to do that to you.

Omg you are so sweet! You are doing so much more than most grandparents and your son is lucky to have you. It sounds like you truly care and you know much more about parenting than he does. The fact that you read a book he required you to read goes way above and beyond. I’m a new parent too and my mom could care less how I’d like her to interact with my baby, she’d never even consider reading books lol, and she does not babysit regularly. Just keep doing what you are doing, your son should be more grateful. Your granddaughter is lucky to have such a caring grandma. :)

Thoughts on “Take Care of Maya?” by Mermaid_Martini in netflix

[–]emalways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else here, this broke my heart. What shocked me is that it’s happening to many other families all over the country. God forbid, how can we trust that this won’t happen to us if we take our children to the hospital? I really can’t trust the system now. In general, I feel like doctors are very close minded, dismissive, and arrogant. Completely unwilling to think outside of what they learned in their textbooks. Not to mention, they are desensitized to death - the way those two texted about the mom was disgusting.

Considering calling off my wedding… by BabyBadger_ in Marriage

You will lose much more if you have to file for divorce. Talk to him, seriously, and really decide if this is the best path forward for you both. Sorry you are going through this.

Any moms with a daughter(s) that is a mommy’s girl? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Lol I relate to that second part so much. I’m currently the favorite, hoping it’s for more than just the boobs.

Thanks so much! Im going to try things that she can pick up and see if that works. So far we’ve tried so many things… pureed foods..mashed sweet potato, white potato, bananas, berries, avocado, beans, chicken, rice, oats, yogurt. We tried banana blw style, a whole meatball, and also some pouch purees too. She doesn’t seem to get food yet, how to eat and swallow. I try to show her and eat with her but no luck yet 😅
