SAHM vs Working Part Time

So I was telling my husband last night that they are introducing 15 hours free nursery care from September 2024 for babies from 9 months plusā€¦ which I had said would come in handy for when I return to work.

0 sex drive

Itā€™s been 10 months since we had our baby and I just canā€™t be bothered to have sex. I literally have no sex drive at all.

I hate my husband

To clarify, my husband is not an abusive partner, heā€™s just not a good person. When I was 8 months pregnant, I had found out that my husband had been online cheating on me for the entire duration of our relationship. Through two years of dating, a marriage, and a baby on the way, he had never been faithful to me. Wh...

Boundaries in Relationships

After 11 years together me and my husband had a talk about what the boundaries in our relationship are. Some of them we were like duh itā€™s been a ā€œruleā€ we just didnā€™t realize it was a boundary.
