[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't have a partner in your husband and it is breaking you, divorce. Seriously. [/quote]

It's a really good vibe check.[b] Are you willing to do this alone? [/b]If so, ditch the not-partner and do it alone. Otherwise, figure out what's so upsetting about it and shift your attitude. Maybe you need to cut back, or maybe you're tired and overreacting. Or maybe you need to ask for help you haven't articulated needing, instead of assuming your partner knows. Do what you can to adjust your circumstances, then adjust your perception and attitude about them.[/quote]

Where are y'all getting this expectation that raising a child should be easy? That you're entitled to ease?

Talk about privilege...[/quote]

Engaging with you is like trying to have a conversation with a cat.[/quote]

I think that poster had the best under appreciated comment of the thread. [/quote]

If you think the solution is so simple then why isn't it working? Or you're saying no women have tried those suggestions?[/quote]

I don’t think very many of the unhappy posters have shifted their mindset to understand that everyday life is hard, no. I think many many posters here think life should be easy and are railing against that. [/quote]
