Yup. And I just don’t have the energy for that. I feel very mentally healthy, and I know that I’m doing right by my baby. Having to compromise on aspects is just… not what I want for my baby or my parenting life.

I do amazing breakfasts and great lunches. Dinner is very lazy. Picturing myself having to force life into a nice three coarse meal for a hard working husband just sounds exhausting. Putting the baby to bed and then having to be “on” for somebody else- also exhausting.

As is, my baby goes to bed at about 8pm and I get a solid 2 hours to myself every day. It’s lovely.

Chores are done within reason, and im actually a decent house keeper so I’ve never felt I’ve needed help with that. Im financially reasonable by myself. (Could be better but that’s everyone). So if I don’t need help keeping the house or with finances… a partner is basically just for emotional needs. And honestly, that’s just not something im really in need of right now. I have a pretty slow sex drive so im fine, there.

Obviously a partner would make things easier in terms of getting things done on time or having more savings… but I’m not sure the trade off is really there for me.
