RelationshipI f25 moved away from my town and to my husband's m32 hometown after we got married. The main reason is because he suffers from a medical chronic condition and needs to be near his family. I was pr****nt with our first baby and was nearing my due date when my husband had to travel out of town for work for 2 weeks. Because of this he couldn't be with me in the delivery room which wasn't expected...
RelationshipDays ago. I (sahm with 3) was in the midst of doing laundry when my husband (breadwinner, works as a pilot) asked if I could iron his uniform before his shift. I didn't say "yes" because I was busy (laundry then kids homework then cooking etc..). I said I may not find the time to to do it. He turned around and walked away completely ignoring what I was saying. An hour later, he came downsta...

OtherA couple of weeks ago we had a new employee hired at the company. he's a good guy and a widower named "James" (36) and to my knowledge his late wife pa*sed away 8 months ago. Me (f32) and the other coworkers got along well with him. However I noticed that he is still wearing his wedding band on his finger. It kind of confused me a bit and I couldn't help but bring it up with him while on lunch...
Family ConflictMy son is nine and has ARFID. We are working with many ther***sts in all areas but its slow developing. He has very few safe foods and they are all super processed "junk" food.

Anywho, we used to have fami...

When Macey prepares for work, Leo often cries in his crib after his first feeding. For the past two Tuesdays, Macey has been placing Leo in...
OtherMy wife and I have two kids, Kristopher (9) and Sad*e (12). For Kris' birthday last Friday, my wife and I decided to get him a dog, which he has been asking for since he could talk and we feel he's finally responsible enough to walk/feed a dog himself. My wife and I decided to adopt an older dog, not a puppy, and a medium sized dog, and preferably a girl dog because I've heard they have better ...
