Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Is your DH upset now that it was questioned? I feel like that would be a normal response. I could also see him having resentment for this being brought up to begin with.
I would suggest counseling. I think that you guys really need to get on the same page as parents and how you want to move forward. I think you should also get individual counseling for yourself to come to terms with being a SM.
This isn't a life for all women. There is no shame in saying that it is more than you can handle.
