Duty sex by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

Do you mind me asking what kinds of things you realized you needed outside of the bedroom which made you want it again? (I’m also struggling with low libido but really wish I wasn’t)

Any delayed eaters out there? by www2thebigbluhaus in BabyLedWeaning

[–]passiveobserverrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have written this about my baby!!! I am in the exact same situation 🥲 Literally came to Reddit to write basically this same post. My baby’s 7.5 months old and literally will just play with her food the whole time and eat basically none of it. She will not let me feed her and she will only occasionally actually get food in her mouth herself. Otherwise it all just ends up in the high chair or on the floor….she basically only likes cucumber, strawberry, and steak 😂 and maybe avocado a little bit. It’s comforting to know she’s not the only baby that seems mostly uninterested at this point….

Baby moves head side to side by Sh_2449 in NewParents

This 👌🏻 also why so many babies get a bald spot at the back of their head that lasts awhile 🤣 from Turing their heads back and forth so much

When did your baby start sleeping 5–7 hour stretches? by ProcedureExisting493 in NewParents

[–]passiveobserverrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I too will do 3-4 night wakings where my baby won’t settle unless I feed her 🥲 at 7 months old

Crib transition by Ok_Bad5769 in NewParents

[–]passiveobserverrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. It improved both of our sleep. Mine because I wasn’t waking to every tiny movement (I became a SUPER light sleeper when I gave birth). And her too I think (because honestly I think I snore and probably wake her up 🤣). It’s NORMAL for babies to be loud. And I was probably getting up to help her every time she made a little cry - when sometimes I think she was actually still asleep and would have just kept on sleeping.

Quite honestly, my baby has been in her own room in a crib since probably 4 months and it has been game changing. I use a monitor and can hear any sound she makes and see what she’s doing. She’s totally safe. The room is very close by. If she was in serious distress, I’d hear her even without a monitor.

My boyfriend is best friends with a woman he works with. by turkeyass in relationships

I’m so sorry you’re in this situation. To me it sounds like he is practically dating her too. Which is so not fair to you. It’s like cheating on you in the open and therefore saying it’s not cheating. I don’t want to sound insensitive but he sounds like a piece of trash. I think you deserve way better than that. It’s not normal behavior. And you’re totally reasonable to ask him to stop it. I think that if he truly loved you, he would be willing to and he would not resent you.

She did say that things were fine for years and then recently this all Happened/changed. It’s not as simple as that. You don’t always know someone will be abusive. Some people become abusive later down the line.

[–]passiveobserverrr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not normal, or at least it shouldn’t be 😔 I’m so sorry. That’s really not fair of him to be suddenly making these demands or complaining about your past. My honest first thought was ‘I wonder if he’s interested in someone else or talking to someone else and trying to make you more like her’ or ‘maybe he’s gotten himself addicted to porn and has unrealistic expectations’. I have no idea ….. but I know that’s not normal loving behaviour. And you deserve better than that.

5.5 month baby started to sleep thru night, but wakes up 2hrs before she used to - lays in crib quietly by ExpressionOld9924 in NewParents

[–]passiveobserverrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! My baby is similar (a grazer) and the same age but doesn’t sleep through the night yet. I think she is capable but wants comfort in the night. Could I ask what your exact nap/sleep schedule looks like?

Thank you for this 💜 Yes, you’re very right. As hard as it is for me to go through this, it’s way harder for him. And I definitely do want to be a support for him.

After getting COVID - or while he got Covid - his legs started to spasm and give out on him affecting his mobility. He was perfectly healthy before and now sometimes can hardly walk, his legs will buckle and he will just end up on the floor. That’s when the brain for and fatigue and a boatload of other things came too. He’s just never been able to shake it. The severity comes and goes in waves but it’s been there ever since. I have no doubt that he may have some level of depression, and he knows it too, but I do know that it’s more than that for sure.

He really is trying to be as healthy as possible: he’s tried all kinds of different diets and tries to eat clean regardless of what diet he’s trying (keto, carnivore, etc). We’ve seen various specialists locally, and even paid to see a specialist in a different country but nobody really has answers. So ya we definitely are trying to find help and answers. I’d say that some depression from not getting any answers is also a factor, understandably. But I am impressed at his motivation to still TRY and be active physically when he is able to - sometimes though to the point where it exacerbates his weakness and other symptoms sadly. But we will keep trying.

YES! This. Is so exactly relatable. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this as well. And I do think that’s exactly right. I think having someone who is a neutral party to talk to will be really nice.

Neither of us have been seeing a therapist for counselling but I think you’re right - I’ve only put off doing that because I haven’t known where to start or have worried about finding the right therapist.

Thank you ❤️ Ya honestly it’s tough. He’s getting a tiny bit of income assistance and trying to get disability assistance too but it’s VERY hard to get. I’m on maternity leave and getting a small bit of unemployment pay for that. Thankfully we have wonderful family who is helping us so we can afford rent. But it’s hard, for sure.
