Is this true?
I’ve read the third book, but only bits and pieces from the first and second, so I wanted someone to confirm if this is correct or not?

We only see Bonrad being the domestic couple
We only see Bonrad being domestic
Jelly had a four year relationship, yet we barely see any of it onscreen. Jeremiah is supposedly this amazing chef, but we never actually see him cook for Belly. Instead, we see takeout boxes and jokes about feeding her ramen. There’s never a scene of them sharing a home cooked meal, enjoying dinner together, or engaging in the kind of simple, domestic moments that make a relationship feel real.
We’re also missing all the small, everyday couple moments that bonrad gets - even when Conrad and Belly aren’t together. We see bonrad making the bed, grocery shopping, cooking together, Conrad cooking for Belly, baking for Belly, sitting comfortably in silence, watching TV together, sitting by the fireplace, drinking cocoa and making love… all the quiet moments a healthy couple would be doing.
Meanwhile, jellys screentime is a frat party, miscommunication, sex coercion and a breakup over cheating. Yet their fans still claim it’s “jellys story” and that they got all the meaningful screentime. The irony is that their screentime was dedicated to showing how dysfunctional they are as a couple.

Lonely after years of moving
I moved abroad with my husband 7 years ago now. I never wanted to move because of how close i was to my family- they were my best friends.
When we moved i was depressed and struggling for quite some time until i eventually adjusted better. That said - i still deeply miss my family and struggle with anxiety whenever i think about the future of myself and my kids not growing up with the rest of my family.
My husband works alot which means im usually alone 95% of the time. I don’t have a good experience with the people here in the years that ive been here(communication barrier, unfriendliness, nothing in common, different interests etc). And on top of that, im a very introverted, unsocial person. And to make matters worse, i can’t stand my in laws who live very close by. They’ve been nasty to me for the last decade and while i don’t have a relationship with them, I’m forced to see them.
I feel like i can’t discuss this with my husband as he made it clear he never wanted to move back. He also now has a business here. If i discuss it with him, it will only upset him and make him insecure that ill leave him. Does this anxiety & homesick feeling ever go away? I feel like im missing out on so much back home.

I need some advice on how to cope with anxiety during pregnancy? I had it for years now but its not often, however, since i got pregnant its been worse. Not sure if this is down to hormones triggering it but anyhow. With my first pregnancy, i didn’t experience it so much.
I will think about something small like it becoming seriously hot (up to 35-40 degrees) in the summer as i live abroad and panic over feeling really uncomfortable and that will trigger anxiety.
Mainly, all my family live in the UK, so whenever i think about the future and what if I’m really lonely and can’t cope, i get anxiety really bad. My husband works 6 days a week, long hours and i don’t have friends. So this is a thought that lingers regularly.
Any suggestions on how you manage your anxiety? I really don’t want it to effect the baby.
