I’ve been feeling really alone in my marriage lately. I asked my husband if we could have sex at least once a week to feel more connected. He agreed, and we did it once.

I'm gutted for my children. They'll lose everything they know. I'll be homeless, have been a sahm so have no income. I'm scared of the worst outcome and destroying my childrens world. Should I just paper the cracks and stay for their sake?

This might sound a little mad but here we go 😂 We recently installed a monitor above our LOs next to me in our bedroom. It’s linked to our phones and is always on.

We recently hosted a big Easter party for our family and friends and at the end 99% of the people didn’t even come and say bye.

I need to leave my child’s father. This man is just toxic as hell. I have caught his ass adding/texting other females. He finds any reason to argue and yell.
