Nothing takes quite a toll on a relationship like parenting. For some couples, parenting makes your relationship less of a priority, and many people struggle to feel connected to their partner again. For others, parenting and raising a child together makes you realize that the person you thought was the one actually isn’t — like, at all. This week’s Scary Mommy Confessions include a lot of spicy admissions, with some confessing to straight-up affairs and others confessing that they wish they were single so they could pursue something new. Even if you can’t relate, there’s plenty to commiserate with here.
