Nicole, I understand you not wanting her to do overnights with your H right now, but I was blown away about that highlighted red area. You need to get out, see a movie, go to dinner with friends, wit just adults. I would have went nuts if I didn't. I didn't have much help, but I took whatever I could. I hired a babysitter once in a blue moon. I am right outside NYC and yes, the prices sure have gone up, but I paid about $12 an hour, and just to get 3 hours will be well worth your money.
Like Jim said, how did this affect your M? Did you not have date nights? Go out as a couple? Was she in your bed every night?
Of course you are honored to raise your daughter and be a mother. But mothers need self care and activities outside their children with adult interaction.
What life did you envision with your H? Did you see getting babysitting, having date nights, going out with other couples, socializing like adults?
