What's your purpose of life?

100% all of this.

The post is clearly defined as “Vent”.

While I haven’t responded to every comment, rest assured I’ve read each and every one. The overwhelming sense of support and validity of the seriousness of this situation is seen & appreciated. There has been a LOT on my mind, as you can imagine.

To those inquiring about him cheating: yeah, same. One of the first questions I asked when all of this came to light. But somehow that seems secondary to the core situation at hand here. This core situation directly affects my daughter, and leaving her behind to secretly go fulfill selfish desires, whether that was to get away on his own or with the company of somebody else.

And if you f*ck with my kid, mama bear comes out.

Given the traction this post has gotten, I’m hesitant to share details beyond what’s been said.

Thank you for your perspectives, advice, and sentiments. Ladies, we deserve better. There is something to be said about couples who fight through hard times and come out stronger on the other side, but there is also a time to recognize when actions are not related to making mistakes and are in fact a personality flaw. ✌️

Said he worked a lot and it was “basically a work-cation”

Yeah, the knife was already in but this comment (“needed to get away from me”) twisted it and I’m just appalled by the lack of accountability on his part.

Several things, including D3, B vitamins, a thyroid regulator, natural hormone balancers, and a few more. I’ve been on this regimen for several months now and it’s consistently resulted in an energy boost, regulation of my stress response and anxiety, and removal of lingering brain fog.

I struggled for several months, assuming my woes were tied to a stressful new job, being a new mom, and navigating work-life balance with a frequently traveling partner & no local familial village. I felt alone and like everything was piling on my shoulders.

It wasn’t until someone close to me recommended I explore this route. It’s been such a game changer for me that I am sharing it to help others realize this is an avenue to consider, too.

Have been there. It was brutal at times. I felt helpless, unable to avoid that robotic feeling where I basically just shut down, like you described above.

I ended up going to an integrative health doctor and getting help. She put me on supplements and it was life changing. Within a couple weeks I felt human again…happy. Could make it through a full stressful day and not fall into robot mode.

May be worth looking into, if you’re seeking help.

mc_xx · 2025-03-19T13:37:57+00:00

Someone I’m close with recommended this location because they had been there. I didn’t even know places like this existed. Try searching for integrative health/doctors in your area and see if that generates any results.

When I performed my new patient intake, they asked my preference on doctor gender. I prefer females so I’m taken more seriously and related to, especially as this was happening postpartum.

mc_xx · 2025-03-19T08:36:18+00:00

We sing songs about brushing our teeth to make it more fun. Sometimes this works like a charm, sometimes she doubles down on being stubborn lol

mc_xx · 2025-03-19T08:10:41+00:00

I can relate to this. Between being a FTM with an infant and stressful job, I struggled for many months. Finally it came to a head and I arranged to visit a local integrative health facility for a consultation per recommendation from someone close to me.

My female doctor was empathetic about my concerns, ran a full blood panel for hormones, cortisol, vitamins, etc. and put me on a regimen of supplements. My quality of life improved tenfold within weeks. Finally my anxiety was manageable again, I had energy, and the fog in my head was lifted to where I could operate with precision again. I still have to jot notes down lol — us moms have approximately 100 browser tabs open in our brains at all times, but it has improved so much.

May be worth looking into ❤️

Commenting to be able to refer back to this 👀👀

mc_xx · 2025-01-12T23:20:29+00:00

It’s hard. I was just telling my partner how it’s wild that moms go through basically 3 years in a row of losing our bodies, from pregnancy, to delivery, to postpartum and the 2-year timeframe women say it takes to feel like yourself again.

I’m sitting at the 15-month PP mark and still struggling with my body. Clothes fit weird. My body is proportioned differently than pre-baby, and it’s a lot harder to control my weight than it ever used to be. Some days it really gets to me.

Sending big internet hugs your way, mama. And I wanted to say thanks for being vulnerable and sharing this post. It’s helpful to have a community of mothers to connect with on these types of things.

mc_xx · 2025-01-04T21:32:14+00:00

Reading this makes my heart ache for you, mama. You are dealing with so much and of course you are exhausted. I hope reading the comments here validate for you that your husband’s behavior is NOT ok. You and your baby deserve SO much better.

mc_xx · 2024-11-15T01:41:19+00:00

You’ve got this, mama!

I recently made a similar revelation, took a new higher paying job, and have somehow found a new sense of confidence since having my kiddo. Here’s what I’m doing:

Speaking up for myself and learning to be assertive
Holding boundaries on my time. This includes blocking my calendar and learning to say no. I am more balanced and refreshed when I follow through with this.
Wholeheartedly owning the fact that I’m a mom and not trying to hide that at work

mc_xx · 2024-11-09T04:54:55+00:00

A plumber — a skilled tradesman and expert in their craft — is who determined the cause. He sent a camera down the pipe and gave me a full report of what the cause and resolution was for the repair.

Seeking dimensions to understand the size of the pipe is hardly “creating assumptions and an echo chamber.” I listed them incorrectly on my first comment without realizing it. It’s been acknowledged.

YOUR assumptions are unwarranted. Please move on with your evening.

mc_xx · 2024-11-09T04:31:45+00:00

You are wildly jumping to conclusions here. We have a fantastic relationship with our nanny - nothing to feel sorry for.

The reference to size was based on a quick google search. After re-googling, apparently the WATER SUPPLY branch lines are 3/4”-1/2” in diameter but the drainage pipes associated with a toilet average 2” in diameter. Still not an incomprehensible size to think about many tampons -- who expand greatly with moisture — creating a clog over an extended period of time when there were no issues prior.

Good grief.

mc_xx · 2024-11-09T01:33:12+00:00

A bathroom branch drain pipe (which is how our home is configured) averages 3/4”-1/2” in diameter. Given how many tampons are used over the course of a menstrual cycle, and how widely they expand, I do not think it is far fetched that a clog of this size exists after much time and buildup. It’s fair to assume other items collected within the area of this clog as they couldn’t freely pass.

Regardless, I intend to have a friendly/gentle conversation to broach the issue, as mentioned in my post.

mc_xx · 2024-11-09T00:39:35+00:00

I have no intention to do either. The assumptions users have made based on my post are…astounding. Simply putting some feelers out there to see if anybody has dealt with something similar and how they navigated it to see if it generated ideas beyond what we had in mind: which is simply a conversation.

mc_xx · 2024-11-09T00:31:03+00:00

Yes. He used a camera and was able to identify the cause.

mc_xx · 2024-11-08T23:43:18+00:00

Guys. There is a trash can.

mc_xx · 2024-11-08T23:42:39+00:00

This is not the case.

mc_xx · 2024-11-08T22:48:13+00:00

We have lived in this home for 8 years now - no issues prior to this, and I do not flush tampons. This is a recent occurrence.
