For those who consider themselves in faithful-to-God marriages and are stay at home moms, how much does your husband do when he comes home from work? Does it work for both of you?
I’m starting to wonder if our arrangement is sustainable for me, and I’m wondering how others divvy up things.
Please keep things respectful, as I know this is a contentious topic :)
My husband and I have had a very strong respectful marriage so far, or so I thought,but things have been suddenly super dicey recently.
I got pregnant and had a scary medical complication so we couldn’t be intimate. We kept assuring each other and supporting each other through the super challenging time.
I had a suspicion that my husband was struggling with lustful things online just by the way he was acting, so one day I just asked and he revealed that he’s pretty much been struggling for most of our marriage, even when things seemed really good and there were no medical things.
During our engagement, he mentioned that he hadn’t struggled in a long time. So I trusted that.
Now I’m several months postpartum and just feeling like every marital encounter I’m so angry. Like why should I “share” my husband with the girls online. And he gets angry that I’ve changed in terms of my sexual desires.
I went through huge major life changes with baby and other things in our lives. I got stronger, and frankly I got less vulnerable because of the weekly sin my husband was falling into on his own. He is at a very stressful job and we’re working on other job opportunities so there’s that too.
I feel like this is such a mess and I’m not sure what to do. We genuinely love each other, serve each other well, except for this one area which raises both our tempers.
I feel like I can’t talk to anyone about this. He is seeing a therapist to help and goes to confession weekly.
Now I’m just wondering why he asked me to marry him if he was struggling this much. I feel so inadequate, I feel so under appreciated.
Has anyone purchased the Mazda 8-seater?
We love Mazda products and are wondering if this would work for a large family (we’re not there yet but getting close).
I suppose not-so-young moms who feel young please jump in too!
Basically the title, I am in my early 20s but feel like I’ve aged a lot mentally and physically since having a baby.
Some of it is positive (e.g. maturity/stability, putting family first, having good priorities, resilience, etc). But I also feel like I kind of lost my childlike spirit, sense of adventure, and I’m a bit more of a pessimist. Also my body looks older (saggy boobs, dull skin, tired eyes).
Maybe it’s just the exhaustion talking, but would love to hear how people stay feeling young.
