My husband knows my Reddit account, so this is a throwaway. I am 26 and my husband is 25. We have been married for 2 years and together for 5. He wants a baby, and I don't. The truth is, I do want a child (just 1), but I need my husband to make a few changes in our lives before I'm willing to consider it. Right now, I am working 2 jobs (38 hours a week at 1 and 29 hours a week at the other) while my husband is working 1 job (24 hours a week). He does occasionally cook, but I do most of the meal planning and prepping. I also do the vast majority of cleaning. I've been asking him to either get a full time job or a 2nd part time job for about 3 months now, and he just hasn't yet (he has filled out a few applications, but rarely does any kind of follow up). He does help around the house when asked, but I really have to get on him and "nag" about it (which I hate doing... I've NEVER wanted to be a naggy wife). I just can't imagine bringing a child int...

I broke up with my partner of 5 years recently. It was an abusive relationship and I'm finally starting to feel better. It took me a while (and lots of therapy) to get better but I'm ready to get back out there and meet someone new. I've gone on a few casual dates (like, tinder dates just to get back out there) and they were fine, but I'm facing a problem: I'm using more serious dating apps now and I think I'm matching with men way out of my league and I'm too nervous to meet them. Listen, I'm a solid 7/10. I'm alright. A little above average but not that much. I'm Jewish and have those kinds of features. I'm bad at makeup and kind of a tomboy. I literally don't know how to walk in heels. I'm thin but I don't have a gym-perfect body. I work as a teacher. It's fine. It's nothing impressive. Etc, etc. I'm pretty average. I'm matching with handsome doctors and lawyers and people who are just WAY too good for me....

(Before my post,I want to apologize about my bad English,I'm french) I know a girl since my last year in Middle School. At this time I was 14 and her 12. ( Fuck...It's so a kid story ) for summarize the situation,we went out an broke up 3 times on a year. For my first year to High School she didn't talk to me for August to December and for December to April 2019 and for April to October .In October we has talk and some days after she did her coming out and my reaction was to get me angry ( At this moment,I must confess,I did shit ). 3 weeks after one of my friend and her decides to hang out ( friendly ) and me I went to their "friendly date" and she said to me "Wait me,just 20 minutes and i will join you . I waited 1h30 for nothing and 1 week after (middle of november) I was in a date with her and it was magic.1 week later,after some cold SMS,we never have a real disscussion after late november .I don't know what I have to do,someone can help me ?( I...

I have talked to him about this, but it's just how he is (he's like this with everyone), he has a busy life and I suspect he has issues with executive dysfunction as he seems to lose track of time. We also currently only see each other once a week, often it's only when I prompt him (although I'm the type of person who likes to know plans in advance so maybe he'd get around to arranging things if I didn't contact him first). I'm used to partners who message all the time, it doesn't have to be a 24/7 conversation but just chatting throughout the day or sending odd messages - it makes me feel like I'm part of their lives, and helps me get to know them better. As it is with my current boyfriend (7 months) I feel like I'm not part of his life, it feels like I'm still single in a way because of this lack of contact. When we're together it's fine, he shows me he cares and of anything he may be more into me than the other way around - he...

tldr: Had a long ~1.5 yr long unhealthy relationship with 22F gf and she cheated on me 3 times (that I know of) that ended about 8 months ago. I thought I was over her, but I really am not sure. I think a relationship with someone new is the only thing that will help. First I'd like to say that I'm not really sure that I'm looking for help or just a place to vent and write this out because I've annoyed my close friends with this too much. I know that I'm over her but I really just want the relationship (good parts) we had back. We started dating at the beginning of the school year around October 2017. She was friends with a lot of my friends. When we started dating we were having a very physical relationship as well as connecting very well emotionally. Admittedly we both negatively affected each other's studies for the first couple months we were together but I quickly got my stuff together. Summer came and she stayed at the University to take summer classes...

This past summer I met a great person and we fell in love very fast. She is interesting, intelligent, hilarious, and has a passion for life that I've never seen before. Her smile lights up a room and I get lost in her eyes. Today she told me that she will go to a dangerous country with her family. She told me she wanted to go this Christmas which had me worried. To stay anonymous, I don't want to give details but this is a country where people actively run away from and migrate somewhere safer. A lawless land where if you don't join a gang, you'll likely be killed. At the time I unconsciously pushed her away. I didn't stop talking to her or anything but when I did see her, I acted distant because her dying in this country is all I can think about. The conversations weren't dynamic anymore and I could barely muster up looking at her eyes knowing I may never see them again. A few days later we talked about it and I told her I realized I was essentially pre-mour...

I (24F) live with a roommate (24M) who is absolutely clueless when it comes to cooking whereas I cook on a regular basis. Not only do I cook regularly, but I often make more complicated dishes at least once a week aside from normal meals and use high quality ingredients. My roommate somehow manages to mess up boxed macaroni, knows nothing about food and his diet consists mostly of meat, no vegetables, etc. On top of that we have very opposite schedules as he works a regular day job & I work nights/weekends. He’s offered to pay part of the grocery bill in exchange for me making extra portions of whatever I make. However I have some concerns. I’ve told him if he has any recommendations on dishes to send them my way and I’ll make it or if he just wants to buy certain groceries with items he likes then I can figure out something to do with it if he tells me. Every time though he just says, “I don’t know where to start”. I’ve also tried telling him to get the ingredients for a recipe ...
