I am currently thinking to apply for a different position within the same company, but the new job is paid a lot less.

Sex

Since having our daughter we only have sex about once every month, before having her we’d have sex at least once a week. Each time I try to initiate it my partner comes up with an excuse, he normally says maybe later or that he’s sick or has a headache and can’t be asked. It’s making me feel a little rejected and no...

Opinions

So when I was pregnant I couldn’t have sex much due to pain but always thought about 3somes and wanted one (yes I’ve had one before), now I’m like sex crazed and want it 24/7.

Working after giving birth

So I give birth in September, and I know I still have several months to go. But I was just wondering what kind of jobs you guys had after giving birth? Did you stay and work from home after birth? I’m slightly afraid to send my baby to a daycare and going back to my workplace

Call me sad but I think its quite funny

I am going to sign up my partner to engagement ring website newsletters so that his email is spammed with engagement ring emails and maybe he'll do the right thing and get me one after 10 years and a baby 😆

Friends or gf?

I’m from NJ, don’t mind out of state chats, my partner is aware I’m bisexual and I have been craving a women’s touch since I’m close to the end of pregnancy and also don’t mind talking to find a girlfriend, but add my Snapchat chyybandzz00 to text or talk more maybe 😉
