How do you new dads travel for work without feeling guilty about the fact that your wife will have to do the heavy lifting at home in your absence? Have a 5 month old kid at home and traveling for the first time since 2020. Feeling guilty and stressed. We do have help to look after the baby, but its part time and not 24*7. Wondering how the week will be. Please send help.

It’s likely going to be tough. We did it with two under two and that eventually came to a head. My only advice is not to offer suggestions or try to fix things from a far. Let them vent and be sympathetic. Do what you can while at home to help your partner catch up on sleep.

How is your wife feeling about everything? If she's ok with it, then try not to get too stressed. You'll find out after this week how everything works out, and then you can make the decision as to whether you'll continue traveling, need to hire more help, etc. See how things go.

She is awesome and has been saying that she will handle things back home. But she also works FT and I know its going to be difficult. But I agree with you, I guess we will find out how it goes by the end of the week!

The best thing I think you can do is make sure your wife knows that she and the kids are your priority.

My wife is a SAHM of 3 and knows that if she were to call me and say this (the traveling) is too much and that we need a change, I would immediately start looking for something else no questions asked. We take this job one day at a time and communicate frequently about it.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

My anxiety has been at bay after changing my job and just feeling like I HAVE control over my life. But now it's back because I feel like I'm behind in other aspects of my life (I.e dating). I have so many friends getting engaged and I just feel... anxious since I am SO single. I'm 27, and I know I'm at that age where people do but it just sucks. I've been on the apps too and it's just... more demotivating honestly than anything else
