Would I be a bad wife if I got my husband a mistress? I’m really considering it, he pushed me way over the line with his disrespect to me so instead of “secretly” screenshotting females thinking I don’t know about it I am really thinking of finding him a mistress and if she can get him to do anything with her I’ll l...

I think I might be struggling with a mild form of ppd. I feel like I have lost a little bit of myself over the last few months and unfortunately it is the part that was quick to laughter and a smile. I notice my partner trying to make me smile and I honestly can’t manage it. I don’t necessarily feel sad but I don’t ...

MIL has texted my hubby and told him she was crying because of two things. 1) Her other son doesn’t want her visiting him in his country. 2) I am not allowing her to be involved in my pregnancy. He has asked me to let her be involved even though he knows how overbearing, controlling and disrespectful she was dur...

I've struggled really bad with my mental health post patrum. My partner picks and chooses when he wants to be supportive.

Hi ladies, Yesterday I started bleeding and cramping quite heavily. I’m 5 weeks in and was told today by the hospital that my Hgc levels were too low at this stage for the pregnancy to have survived. I think I might still be in shock or grief that it’s actually happened but I just don’t know how I’m going to accept ...

So I’ve just hit 24 weeks and I suddenly feel constant anxiety, I’m scared to go out the house in case something happens.

We left our baby with my husband mother for 20 mins. He has always been with me or my husband and this is the first time we left him with her, just to try it out. When we came back she was just bouncing him and he was crying quite badly. She said he was only crying for 2 minutes. I really hope this is true. But she ...

So right from the beginning, my MIL has been awful with crossing boundaries, being manipulative, belittling, and downright disrespectful. Since our first child (4 years old) was born she has been posting pics of our kids on social media without our consent, especially because we don’t want our kids on the internet...

I’ve been diagnosed with PMDD. Never had it before baby but since my periods came after birth I’ve developed it. Just wondering if anyone else has it?

I just need to vent 😭 I guess it’s true what they say - when you stop trying it happens. I’ve been ttc for about 1.5 years and recently decided to give up. I decided that because I wanted to focus on my health and lose some weight… also because I stopped feeling happy in my relationship. I was just on the verge of…

I thought it would of been hard leaving my baby, but she its at a school, where I am familiar with the teachers and director,they sent me pics through out the day.

Anyone struggling with this? I have bonded great with my LO but they seriously look nothing like me and everyone won't stop commenting on it. I am mixed, the dad is white, our LO is white and has all of his features and apparently only has my attitude and facial expressions (lol!). I love her so much but I do feel i...
