My wife and I need a break. Had our first baby in March and we are worn out (getting better) but very tired. Wife said to me “I need us time”, and she’s never said that in the 3 years we’ve been married. Suggestions on getaways or things to do?

Do you two have a support system nearby? Maybe once a month we let the girls stay the night with their grandparents and it’s always right on time.

Sometimes we plan exciting dates, usually we sleep, order in, and watch Netflix.

How’s the weather where you live?

I second P1- My wife and I would get a nice hotel with a spa in our City and get away from the 1 year old and 2 year old for the weekend.. It’s great, we get massages, eat, watch shows. Just relax in general, what we really love about the idea is that it’s stress free from travelling and also don’t have to wake up early in the morning to worry about kids. It’s awesome!

Marriage retreat? Weekend to remember is popular. Otherwise definitely second the idea of a staycation

In the portal status went to " owing to business reasons we foresee some delay in processing your candidature". Also then after multiple followups got an update from HR that they don't have any requirements for the position. Now it's been more than a month what should I do ? Any suggestions would definitely help.

Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.
