I’m debating getting my daughters hair trimmed on our next August cruise. we’re doing BBB in November, so I wanted to give that a break but still do something special and was wondering if anyone gets their daughters hair trimmed on board. I’ve seen people talk about getting their son’s hair trimmed but haven’t seen much feedback about girls.
She does have 3b style hair so curious about that too for adult or kids
We've essentially had zero contact since March when he told our 4 year old he hated her and wished he wasn't her father, but today I noticed he deleted all traces of our girls (almost 2 and 4) off his social media.
It still just shocks me how drastic the change was. Prior to that day in March, he was love bombing me for 12 weeks. We had plans to watch Super Mario for his birthday with the girls, we were going to go to the Bronx Zoo for Mother's Day. I was joking with my coworkers wondering when the love bombing would stop because the time before that lasted 2 years, but I had a feeling it would end any day. But did I think it would end with seeing his old mistress as a suggested friend and finding out the mistress he met during my pregnancy stayed with him? Nope, I had zero idea. She had only been on 2 dates with him when I let her know we were married 14 years and had IVF to get pregnant and also had a toddler. She's a freaking OB nurse, it grosses me out that someone working with pregnant women has no problem dating men with pregnant wives.
I still just can't believe the weight of it all. How do you go from seeing a 4 and 1.5 year old every week, to essentially pretending they don't exist. He told his mother she wasn't his. He's told his friends he has no kids and that I forged all the documents. I was notified today that he inactivated his coparenting app and since he blocked me, there's zero way of even contacting him if I wanted to. I doubt he even realizes our 4 year old is scheduled for surgery next Tuesday.
I know karma caught up with him, he got two other women pregnant (not the mistress that's still by his side), he got sued for 12k in May and 6k in June, so I know things are unraveling, but it's gross to me that he never had to be single for a day. He traded 14 years and 2 babies, and got rewarded with a girlfriend who stays by his side through it all. Her sister was stalking my Facebook for awhile, but I finally blocked everybody.
It's just so wild to me. Everybody used to say what a great dad he was. Every time we'd be out in public everybody would compliment how hands on her was with them. Father's day was tough for our 4 year old. We were on a cruise but during kids club they made so many Father's Day crafts and you could just see her mood shift afterwards. I have her in therapy but it felt like a heavy weight because I had no idea if he would pop back up and ask to see them again, but I feel like after being notified of the app inactivation and seeing he deleted all traces of them off social media, it feels pretty final that we'll never see or hear from him again, at least not for several years.
I don't know if I'll ever make sense how we went from IVF and two very much planned pregnancies to essentially zero way to reach him before our daughter even turns two
So excited, I was just about to switch to compound and posted before about being scared now that I'm at 15mg it'll wear off, and I qualified for the Englighten study with 80 weeks of free zepbound included. Is anyone else on this study, how is it going for you?
Up to $1500 off 7 nights
6 night or less also included with anywhere from 150-250 per guest per room type
Hi, I’m curious what others thoughts are on this in Cozumel? It seems like the only excursion I’ll be able to bring my newly 2 year old on through Disney
I’m curious if anybody did bring an umbrella stroller? Or if I should leave it behind on the boat?
Or wondering if I should check shore excursions or somewhere else that’ll book 2 year olds on their beach ones
There’s tons of different promos out right now
My ex cheated with 25 men and women while pregnant. One of the mistresses didn’t care and stayed by his side and encouraged him to abandon our kids now 4 and nearly 2.
Life definitely was a rollercoaster but comparing where I am now, I can finally see tides taking a turn. I have sole custody, got to keep the house, $2200 a month, and we just came back from Bermuda and our next trip will be in a few weeks.
On his end…he just had a 4th child with someone else (not the mistress of 2 years) and has another son with another random married woman. Got sued for $15,000 for not paying his car payment in May and got sued $6000 in June. I only know because I was checking to see if this new woman filed child support yet and instead saw those.
I can see he’s still endlessly swiping on fetlife and still a serial cheater
So yeah, as tough and awful it was. I’m so glad that’s not my husband. I’m so glad I’m no longer begging for answers or wondering wtf was going on with his hot and cold behavior. It’s tough for our 4 year old, but she’s in therapy and hopefully the more time that goes on the easier it’ll be. The last thing he said to her was he hates her and we never seen or heard from him again. We used a coparenting app and I can see he’s never even opened the messages since.
I can’t believe how pathetic he’s become from who he used to seem like for 14 years. I’d never date a man with 4 kids with 3 women with zero custody of any. I’d never date a man who’s been sued for 20k. I’d never look his way if I met him today. I was 19 when I met him. His gf was 30, knew he had a wife, toddler and newborn and decided to show off their perfect relationship all over instagram. I can’t wait until she realizes what an idiot she is. But at least we’ll be busy enjoying life and not caught up in that web anymore.
Everyone told me he was such a good dad, they told me be friends for the kids sake. But I’m glad I stood up for myself back then. He wasn’t being a friend. He was pretending nothing happened and taking zero accountability after putting me through hell and blaming me for months. He’d block us and say he was never seeing us again then unblock us like nothing happened but use my reactions against me. It was awful for my mental health to look like the crazy emotional one while he acted like a perfect dad with everyone watching. When I put real boundaries up, he quickly changed and I was grateful to get supervised visits only in our order. I wish I knew back then about reactive abuse and learning that everything he called me crazy for was actually under reactions at that time but he had me so brainwashed to accept less and less than I didn’t even realize how abusive he was until I stepped out
I have a totally different mindset now that I see the woman didn’t “win” my husband. She won my abuser and we’re finally free of him
My most recent Disney cruise was in April and we just got off Royal Independence of the Seas yesterday and honestly overall we preferred this for our almost 2 and 4 year olds. I cant even imagine how much better some of the bigger boats would’ve been since they offer even more kid friendly spaces
Everybody said Disney is known for exceptional staff but the staff on Royal were much more attentive during dining and around the boat in general too. Refills came much faster, they’d even wash my youngests bottle at dinner and give us a fresh bottle of milk on our way out. I think the 5pm dining also made it easier since our youngest goes to bed at 630, so being outta there by 6 was a big difference compared to our Disney cruises where dinner always took 1.5hr and one night even took 2hrs on our most recent trip. It was also nice that we literally were the first table in dining room without asking so that made a difference than Disney where we had a longer walk and couldn’t bring strollers. I liked the option of having my stroller because then it made bringing bottles, wipes, etc much easier too
Toy lending was great, each bag at the nursery had about 7 toys and we swapped them out halfway through. Both kids liked them and it helped me pack less knowing we’d have toys on board
The living room space was great to kill time and relax a bit with toys that changed up a little each day. The space never seemed crowded, most of the time we’d be the only ones in there and at most there were 3 of us in there. Yes Disney’s toddler room is much fancier but when you compare 1hr a day vs 9am-10pm everyday it’s a huge difference
Splash zone I preferred for my 4 year old over Disney’s since she loved the 2ft pool and it was close enough to baby zone that I could stand in one spot and see both of them. Yes Disney’s splash for babies is much bigger but my 2 year old didn’t care and was happily going down the slide over and over. Again this never seemed crowded, for awhile we were the only babies but at most we’d see 4 other little ones
Friendliness all around. Everybody was super friendly from other passengers to staff. I feel like they were much more sociable on this cruise than Disney.
The kids fun festival was cute with free face painting and balloon animals. I wish the cotton candy was free but $3 really isn’t that bad lol I just assumed it would be free
Mini golf was cute for them, they did the climber too.
You do miss the magic moments, the shows, fireworks, etc but honestly with my kids ages, it’s not like they knew what they were missing. It was easier for me to have them in bed 7-8pm each day. My oldest got to do karaoke 3 times so she was happy with that.
My only real issue was that they didn’t have the technology in kids club/nursery that Disney does with sending texts through the app. It seemed kinda useless for me to use them since they only call your room if your kid needs to be picked up, so my original plan on having the youngest nap while I swam or did slides with my oldest wouldn’t work out. But it was still fine because she loved kids club so I ended up dropping her off there while our youngest napped in the room.
I also found the Bermuda port super toddler friendly. There’s a free playground and splash pad within 5 min walking distance of the boat. I ended up doing snorkel beach which gets negative reviews but honestly for their ages it was great. They had free sand toys, life vests, basketball, bounce house, corn hole and I loved that the water was shallow so it felt safer. When they’re older I’d def do the option next to the boat with water trampolines and slides into the oceans or horseshoe transfer but since it was our first visit there I wanted to stay close to the boat
Overall, I still plan on doing DCL for Merrytime, Halloween and a Pixar day but afterwards I probably will just stick to Royal for all other cruises
Venting since I don’t have anyone in real life to really tell anymore. I found out my husband cheated on me with 25+ while ten weeks postpartum. He told everybody we were separated when we actually had IVF. I told everybody he was sleeping with at the time we were married 14 years, had a newborn and toddler and that I was the one who just found out and filed divorce
Fast forward in March 2026 I learn he stayed with one of the mistresses the entire 2 years and denied paternity of our youngest for 19 months. I sent a video of her running up to him saying daddy and a video of me confronting him where he admits he’s her father. I was hoping at least she’d leave then for realizing the lie and went no contact with him cus clearly he’s insane to deny a child he was seeing every week and we had ivf for, but nope. She stayed by his side.
Her sister contacted me today asking for proof of him with our oldest.
I was like huh??? So apparently now he admitted our 22 month old is his, but says he never met our 4 year old. So basically said we’ve had no contact 4 years and slipped up and had one hookup resulting in our youngest.
I know I need to learn to not engage but I’m like are you fucking serious??! His solution to getting caught in a 2 year lie is pretending he had no relationship with our oldest?? I quickly sent two infant pics of them together and they came back with saying that proves nothing and send the timestamps. Now at this point I’m fed up, lol I sent 45 pics of him from Feb 2022 to Jan 2025 to show he was around our child, laying in our bed, all sorts of family picture because ma’am how are you gonna tell me my husband never met our child. We were married 14 years for lord sake
It blows my mind this woman is able to believe a man who lied to her for 19 months about paternity is telling the truth year that we were only were intimate twice in 4 years??
I hate that it gets to me. My friends I did tell are like well you went over the top by sending so many pictures but it’s just the level of betrayal. He held those babies in his arms for 4 years and he gets to say he never met them? I see my daughter crying for daddy and he gets to say he never met her and his gf stays with him another 3 months like it’s no big deal
I know karma does it thing. He actually had another son last month with someone else but the gf thinks it’s another lie. He did get sued for 15k too last week so I know things are unraveling but it’s like wtf
In what world is saying oh im a liar about paternity and a deadbeat father a solution to staying in a relationship. How does someone say yay what an awesome boyfriend
I know tomorrow I have to let it go and at least it’s reassurance to me that this man should never be around our children
But it’s sickening to me how many lies he’s told about me and my innocent girls
I’ve seen so many posts about dating separated men, dating men with infants or young toddlers but I never even realized the layers of lies men say. If you’re the gf/other woman. Take a look at your relationship. Are things adding up? If he has young kids, how does he have time for you? And have standards, if there’s clearly cracks in his story, don’t double down and believe him over reality

It might be too wide of a range, but I'm trying to see what recommendations are if we want to be near beaches but trying to be cost conscious.
I've been to Italy and Spain, and I do want to bring my kids back eventually, but seeing if there's any cheaper alternatives that I'm missing in other countries. We'd be flying in from NY.
Kids will be 3 and 6 for the trip.
They’ve added 25% off treasure sailings and included destiny on some previous sailing discounts to check out
Hi, I'm curious if Cape Liberty port ever has a TA rate or is it mostly Tampa only? Not sure how frequently I should be checking lol
They’ve just added to the 25% off promotion, seeing multiple options for summer months. Some 3 nights for under $3000 (family of 4) and some 4 nights in low $3000s. Really is great pricing compared to other summers prices
No limit today only
10% off Disney cards, just got 4 $500 cards
I’ve read some people say cash only but I used credit card for mine
Check with store tho, the one in my town didn’t have them but the one nearby had dozens in stock
Kinda wish I’d do more but didn’t wanna go totally broke but great deal and you can pick amount 25-500 cards
At 4 months pregnant my husband blindsided me as I was in the hospital hemorrhaging saying we should just divorce because I always make him the bad guy.
I thought things were better than ever; we had been trying for 7 months to get pregnant and had a toddler at home. There were zero arguments and I treated him amazing, the only answer he would give is that I was selfish and only asked about myself. I was thankful for text message history which clearly showed that wasn’t the case. He disappeared for 60 days, and the day I met with a divorce attorney he came home. I didn’t even realize at the time how it was related. He stayed home until I gave birth but clearly something had changed.
10 weeks postpartum I finally went public and that’s when I learned he cheated with over 25 women and men. I got a ton of apologies and yet 3 days later learned he cheated again and filed divorce. Last month I found out now he’s in a 2 year relationship and told his mother, his gf, etc that our youngest child isn’t his. He said documents that show child support and custody were forged, he went as far as telling his mom he got a paternity test and she’s not his, so not something he could ever say “oh just kidding she’s mine” later on.
At the time I found out he was doing weekly visits supervised by me. I told him we needed time and that I didn’t feel comfortable supervising the visit knowing he was telling everyone he’s not her father but he demanded he show up. Well he did on 3/15 and told our 4 year old he hates her and wishes he wasn’t her father. He hasn’t done a visit since
It still shocks me that this was a man who I was married to 14 years. A man who planned these pregnancies and we talked about it for 2 years. And just seeing how many lies and how much destruction he caused. I grieved an entire life, marriage, while freshly postpartum and he never grieved. He just was off in a honeymoon phase.
He does pay $2000 in child support so that was his only consequence of this all, but it’s so stressful wondering if he really is gone forever. There was nothing, zero discussion. Zero apology. I can see he read my last message on 4/8 where I listed out the hell he put us through but nothing. I went to court after he said he hates my 4 year old and they declined my motion ruling he has supervised visits indefinitely but that I had to be the one to supervise.
I did discover a breeding fetish, two secret kids and him cheating with over 100 women off that website. I know he’s still cheating on the new gf so it’s not like he’s suddenly a better guy, but it’s wild to me still that he gets to tell everyone I’m just a crazy ex and that one kid isn’t his and people believe it. He coaches youth basketball but can’t be around his own kids unsupervised.
I truly hope he’s gone forever but so many times I see people posting similar blindsides. Their husband saying they’re selfish or their husbands blaming them for everything. In 7 months he didn’t give me any real explanation. He ridiculed me for months saying I was over dramatic or over sensitive, or saying how I was crazy. Even with proof coming through he never admitted more than what I had in front of me. He’d swear on his mother’s life but nope; all lies. So if anybody else is in this situation and nothing makes sense, it really can be so much worse than you’d ever imagine.
Looking back, the only thing I wish I did differently is stand up for myself. When he texted about a divorce or needing space I wish I said fuck you bye and never begged for answers and I wish knew back then me and my kids are all the family we needed and he’s missing out on the kids not us missing a father/husband.
