Trying not to feel hopeless

This is a warning for women marrying in their early 20’s. As a woman approaching 30- I’m 28 this year- Please. Please. Really get to know your person. I married a man that said he wanted 2+ children and he changed his mind when I finally got pregnant. I told him to divorce me and I would take the baby 100%. He stayed and cheated on me 6 months postpartum instead. I love being a stay at home mom so I’ve been living in pain, he is no longer cheating. I have his whereabouts 24/7 and he isn’t disappearing at night anymore. Couples counseling was useless. My child will be 2 soon and I’m ready for my freedom and my child to have different care takers when I go back to work at the hospital a few nights a week. I cannot wait to leave this man. We have been together for 7 years and I’m just devastated. Trying to be hopeful for a brighter future with a man that wants a family.

i am very sorry you’re going through this. i am 26, my sister is 14 months younger than me. my fiancé & i talk to my parents about this situation a lot: my sister married her first love, they’ve been together about 8 years, & he was her first everything, including boyfriend. she wanted at least 2 kids & he promised her that. after they had their first boy in June 2024, he told her he didn’t want any more kids. we all assume it’s bc he misses his freedom, his sleep schedule, his “routine”. my sister feels heartbroken bc she said she just wants one more baby but she doesn’t want to leave him. (as far as i know, he hasn’t cheated, but he is a POS—he had a crush on me first but i think he ‘settled’ for my sister) she said if they don’t have any more children, she will feel her family is incomplete. i was lucky as i said i am 26, my fiancé is 38. he had a child at the age of 15 who the mother did not want. when i met him, i was 20 & his daughter was 15. i was the only thing she really..

knew as a mother bc my fiancé & i have been together going on 7 years. then we had our baby in May of 2023. i always told him i wanted 5/6 kids (my pregnancies are really bad as i have HG so he knows that might change lmao) but he promised me all the children i wanted. i miscarried in august of 2024 & we found out we are pregnant again. i told him if he ever pulled anything on me like my sisters husband did to her—i would not hesitate to leave as he knew going into this relationship i wanted multiple children. but as i might not be going through this, i see how it affects my sister. if you want to reach out to me—ill keep it private. i feel for you as badly as i feel for my sister. you have support, mama.

This is gut wrenching. Sis. You deserve BETTER.

You seem to be handling that way better than I could. You’re doing your job as a mother to advocate for your child. Get rid of that sis. I’m so sorry.

I'm sorry to hear this I hope everything goes well for you and your child 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
