| 0:00.0 | John, you're under arrest. Oh, no. Don't do it. I'm an OG Oki Storytime podcast host. I don't care. I'm making sure that you stay here for the next two minutes. All right, I'll be detained for the two more minutes before we get into this episode. Yeah, we got some ads coming up. So stick around. Think around. This is an I-heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:23.4 | My husband is upset. |
| 0:26.9 | That spending time together makes me happy? |
| 0:29.5 | How dare you like being with your husband? |
| 0:31.7 | Here's the TLDR of my relationship. |
| 0:35.4 | Husband and I have been together for nine years, married for two and a half. |
| 0:36.6 | We're both about 30. We had a baby 14 months ago. The pregnancy was a surprise birth control failure, but we both wanted kids and were happy. We had discussed ethical non-monogamy in the past, but put the discussion on hold during the pregnancy. And by the way, this comes from user Alien Flowers. And if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R slash OK Storytime subreddit. Another bullet point here. After I gave birth, my husband brought it up again and started really pushing for polyamory. He also took on extra work as I had to stay home due to daycare costs eating up more than my monthly paycheck could cover. He started pushing me off onto his family and wouldn't ever be home to help me or give me a break. |
| 1:11.2 | He told me to go to his mom for a break, and all he was good for was bringing home money. |
| 1:16.3 | Throughout all of postpartum, he's basically insinuated, if not outright, said that he doesn't want me to rely on him or want him around. |
| 1:24.4 | At six months postpartum, he pushed for us to open our relationship. |
| 1:28.9 | I hated it. |
| 1:30.1 | He was disappointed when we closed it after a month. |
| 1:32.8 | I also went back to school full time at this and have maintained a 4.0 since. |
| 1:37.2 | Oh my gosh. |
| 1:37.8 | We've been in couples therapy for about five or six months now. |
| 1:41.2 | We each have our own therapists too. |
| 1:44.0 | Okay. |
| 1:44.1 | Baby was also EBF and I still nurse her two to three times a day and plan to do so until |
| 1:50.5 | at least 18 months or so. |
| 1:52.8 | Exclusive breastfeeding. |
| 1:54.8 | All right. That's the background. Now we're in therapy and I thought it was working. |
| 2:00.1 | The last few weeks he's worked less and made time to hang out with me and our baby more. |
