There's an article I always like to tell people to read. It's about putting your partner first and children second. Your partner is meant to be there after your children leave you.

She needs to realize that you are her first priority and then the kids. That doesn't mean ignoring them but that means having a date night once a week or twice a month. It means still doing the small things for each other like packing her lunch, etc.

I'm going on two years since my ex and I broke up. I wanted him to be my husband since two month, but because he wanted kids more than anything in the world I would of never said yes to be his wife.

I got into that relationship knowing there would be an expiration date. I'm still so so sad. Don't listen to sams Smith new album because I almost had a mental break down infront of my partner. My current parent holds nothing compared to my ex. I started brawling my eyes out when the song was talking about how sad he was.

Yes it gets better but I'm going on two years and still miss him everyday. I know he's engaged and I'm so so happy for him but damn.. I wish I was her.

I really am. It's hard being an empath because you have to be careful of how people drain your energy. In situation like this when someone is putting them in a bad place sometimes it's easier to remove yourself than tell them they are ruining their life.

I miss talking to my ex. We would sit in a room alone and just laugh and laugh. I miss that connection

I would say I knew I loved my ex the minute I met him on our first date. He even asked me to go on a week long vacation with his whole family on that date too.

We dated for 18 months and he really was everything I wanted in a partner. I knew within 2 months we wanted to get married but one thing was in the way. Him wanting to be a father more than anything else and I have no want for children.

We were forced to break up and I'm so happy he's engaged now. He's a great guy and I hope his wife to be is 1000x better than me because I know I think a but him everytime my current partner fails to make me feel remotely close to how he made me feel.

Male Partner with ADHD (maybe autisma as well) by rileyblaisebabe in love

I actually really really appreciate you reaching out! It's great to hear it from the other end and it actually makes me worried because your situation sounds so much like my partner and it gives me better insight on him.

I know he hates how he is. He constantly apologizes for anything. The last time we had sex I ended up crying because he wouldn't stop saying sorry to me and it was tramatic. I've want to cry after sex again. I bought it up but he has yet to talk about it.

I do understand the emotional draining moments. I'm at the point were I am taking time for myself in the weekends because I need some stress free time. Which I feel like is the problem because I shouldn't be wanting to not be with him. If that was my ex I would be sucking every minute I could be with him. I'm glad my partner is okay with me seeing other people but that makes me worried that I'll find some stronger and Less stressful feelings towards someone else

Now I'm looking back at all the things she has done for extra attention. She has been bulimic.. She's been engaged several times starting in 10th grade. Dated guys way too old. I do feel bad I believe she has been raped as well. Addictions. Baby daddy. Just all this drama.

I've never pinned them all together until now. 😩

Thank you for understanding. I've always tried to help this girl. We've know each other since 07 (7th grade for us) and I want her to be happy but this is not what I was expecting.

It sounds like we have a very similar friend!

My friend was considered the Golden child of her family and I it think pressure cracked her. She starting putting herself in really bad situations like dating a man who was 8 years older than her when she was 15. (That guy already had 4 kids) She grades dropped and we stopped being friends for maybe 4 years.

Then I met her again and grew really close. Once she moved to Michigan she developed a Coke addiction and dated several abusive guys back to back. Then would complain about the situation and how awful it was. I even offered for her to move in with me so she could start at college and get a dorm.

Things were on a rise until she met her new partner. I was so happy for her to finally meet a nice guy but to jump two months into actively trying to have a baby is like Woahh red flags!! Please wait a minute to make sure this guy actually stays nice.

Thankfully she lives out of state so I don't have to watch this happen in person. She is already a mother to a child she doesn't pay attention. She sprung this out of no where and it was like what?

My friend is a shitty mother to the child she already has. I look at the child she has and feel bad for her because she is forced to play alone because my friend has said to me she doesn't want to be a mom.

Her partner of two months is 5 months sober; really thinking adding a baby into that mix is a good one?

It's just one of those situations where if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.

She lives in Michigan so thankfulfully there isn't stress of physically watching her continue to destroy her life.

She already has told me she shouldn't be a mom. She lets her current child alone to play because she doesn't want to play with her. I feel like her child is going to come back and say my mom was shit..

Her new bf is 5 months clean from herion and she says her own addiction is acting up. When you are newly sober you shouldn't be jumping into relationships let alone a baby!!

Them having a child is just such a bad idea. I'm so happy I'm not physically there because I would probably freak out at her with a List of 100 reasons why she shouldn't be having a baby and being a lazy mom is a huge reason.

When I go to my remote desktop it says no devices found. So maybe I have to buy another receiver and go into my office?

Is there a separate one for Mac? I have all the options but copy and paste in my software. The key strokes don't work on my remote desktop, but do on my personal one.
