‘I Keep Having Sexy Dreams About An Ex. I’m Married!’

In the latest Confessions roundup, 17 parents reveal what’s on their minds — and they’ve definitely got breakups on the brain.

by Team Scary Mommy

We haven’t quite made it to cuffing season yet, and maybe that’s why so many of this week’s confessions center on the opposite of hooking up — as in, lots of moms have breakups on the brain. Naturally, some of those breakups (real or imagined) concern romantic relationships. What is it about this time of year that just sort of makes you want to throttle your partner? But it isn’t just people we want to break up with... it’s also our kids, in-laws, business, partners, jobs, and even sex.

Are you feeling the ninth-month itch, too? Keep reading to find out what’s driving moms to the brink of breaking up in this batch of revelations from the Confessional.
