When Jesse and I were dating we would see each other every weekend and we would go out dancing, have brunch or stay in and watch a movie. When I had Natalia, I understood that those spontaneous dates would be more difficult to have and instead we would have to plan our dates, which isn't …
Struggling to be understood
I sincerely believe that having a child is a test on your relationship with your significant other.
