Thanks guys.
I know money is an awful thing. I know he's scared because loosing it would make things hard. We've literally just finally got our house. That's taken ages and he's worried we'll loose it. It's awful what money can do :( just hope he decides to talk to me about this morning and change his mind about me n DS leaving :/ I know he doesn't mean it and that he's just scared. Will just have to see what happens. We've never had something like this happen before so it's all new and scary.
Oh I'm in the midlands btw Bears

Cupcake I've gone through similar sort of issues ,though yours sounds a wee bit more stressful .My hubby is self employed he hasnt been able to earn much past couple of months but has never really said anything when I try and bring it up he erupts and now Iam the bread winner ( on a very tiny salary !!) .Guess its a really difficult thing for a bloke to admitt .Hes got much better as talking about things now and its starting to improve but I hate the way money had that kind of worry on a relationship .Hope you can talk things through xx

Oh cupcake how awful Hmm hope you manage to sort things out. That is very selfish of DH! Expecting you to support the family while he stays at home. How are you feeling now?
have you got somewhere to stay for a few days?

Cupcake92 · 08/05/2014 11:02

I only do 2 days a week and on an awful wage as a carer. So for me to support us all wouldn't work. And unfortunatly due to my work being agency I can't suddenly ask for full time etc, it's just what's available. But I need this job as I'm studying to gain my health and social diploma. Just before we moved In together I was the bread winner of the family he never had a job back then and it was incredibly hard. We really struggled to get by. poppet yes ur right he finds it hard to admit he needs help for anything especially money.
Funny thing is I'm at his mothers house, she's such a lovely woman, going home to speak to him later once he's finished work.

MrsPopple29 · 08/05/2014 13:00

Glad you have such a lovely mother in law! Hopefully she had some good advice and has made you feel better. Good luck for when you talk to him later Thanks

Oww cupcake I really feel for you. Money is the main arguement in our house too. DH seems to have a bee in his bonnet lately and is constantly talking about different jobs he could do. He's only been in those one 6 months and as far as I know enjoys it and has no real reason to leave other than he can't seem to settle himself. He is stressing me out. I swear men are more fickle than women. Hope you both can sort things out.

poppet85 · 08/05/2014 17:37

Glad its not just us !! Ive always thought its us women who keep a household together and ticking along !

BearsInMotion · 08/05/2014 17:57

We're better off now, but when DP and I got together he was a student so we both lived off my salary - it was tough, and we argued a lot. it's difficult to think that everyone is relying on you, it's easy to feel trapped. Hopefully hes just panicking and it will all blow over Flowers

Cupcake92 · 08/05/2014 18:32

Thanks everyone :) I feel much better hearing all ur stories and know I'm not the only one! He sent me a message on his break at work and all it said was 'everything will all be okay' so maybe he's ready to talk and hopefully sort things.
He was so eager ttc as well, he's always wanted a big family and was so gutted when I told him AF arrived the other week. So fingers crossed he'll talk

Cupcake92 · 08/05/2014 21:07

Regardless of what happened with DH, I've had a really good day with DS. He's been incredibly good today and playful and went to bed early tonight! Woohoo!
I'm 2dpo today, took an opk n it's now negative. Had to be sure !

Ducky23 · 08/05/2014 22:08

Cupcake did you manage to DTD around ov?

Hope you worked everything out with DH Smile and I would love a mil like yours!!!!! Confused

poppet85 · 08/05/2014 22:50

Lovely positive way to end the day cupcake !

iamdivergent · 09/05/2014 08:46

Hope things pick up cupcake x Smile

Cupcake92 · 09/05/2014 09:20

Ducky yes we dtd right up to Ov day. So I've still got a really good chance. That bfp could happen!
Things are better this morning. He's applied for a new job last night and that sort of made him feel a lil better.

Ducky23 · 09/05/2014 09:29

Glad to hear it's a bit better today Smile

Fingers crossed for the BFP!

Cupcake92 · 09/05/2014 09:47

Dramas aye :p
How's everyone today?
Anyone testing?

Ducky23 · 09/05/2014 09:56

It feels like forever since our last BFP was due!!!!

kitkatkaty87 · 09/05/2014 10:39

I'm having a bit of a down day. all my cramping/ bloating etc has gone now, just convinced myself from last night that it will be a negative, feel disappointed already. need it to be the weekend now!

KatoPotato · 09/05/2014 11:03

Can I ask a silly question?

Cupcake, are your cycles very different to mine? We're both due AF/BFP on the same day but I'm only just in my OV window now? How does that work?

Cupcake92 · 09/05/2014 11:16

I'm 2dpo now Kato. I Ov'd really early this cycle I Ov'd cd 8 I think it was. I'm still going to test by when I thought AF should arrive. Fertility friend app says I'm due AF/bfp on 26th may. I'm just going by that :s

My cycles are mad tho, always different each month

KatoPotato · 09/05/2014 11:34
