Just for context I’ve been in therapy for most of pregnancy and that has helped massively but I just feel so flat emotionally atm while therapist is on holiday. My DH can’t seem to cope well with the added pressure of full time work and helping out more with DS who is 23 months old. I have no family nearby apart from in-laws who are retired and useless in actually wanting to help or get involved. I feel so resentful and just want to push them all away, but I don’t I just bottle it all up. They keep saying “if you want help just say” but what I really needed is someone to give love without seeing it as a duty or having to pencil it in a calendar. I’m from South America and just miss the affection from my family, even though my mother wasn’t and has never been a mother to me, that’s a whole different story. To make matters worse, I’ve just found out DH has a second Instagram account which he set up years ago when we were together and his explanation was very vague when I asked him about it. I wasn’t digging for anything, it just popped up on my feed, I’m not a jealous person and always felt our relationship to be solid. I just feel so flat now and I know that at the time he was being very flirty with a female colleague and giving her lifts to work behind my back. He strongly denies cheating though. I need to keep strong for my children but I’m at a point where I think I will fail. Extremely scared of what’s to come. Any advice from fellow MN?
