Today was a good day.
1 project extension, 1 major request for proposal received from client, 1 Board paper signed off, still got home in time for my daughter to be born. 👶🏻👍

Your daughter was born at home?

Tomorrow is an interesting day. Need to kick off the project, work on a proposal, file board paper all while learning to change diapers .

Question why that being home for your daughters birth was at risk?

Making light of the fact that my wife’s labour progressed very quickly. I was in the city in meetings and left the city at 2.30, Lara was born at 4.30 because everything moved so fast. My wife’s first labour was 60 hours so we didn’t drop everything at the sign of the first contraction like we did last time, but that nearly made us look pretty silly.

In other words, would a man be uninterested in a woman who’s living with her ex (but of course being appropriate after the breakup)?

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
