Girl Talk

So basically I’ve had a friend since we started secondary school. Now 24 so been just over 12 years now. Had one prolonged time when we didn’t speak, I started uni, she was going throughout stuff. Well anyway today she’s just said that I don’t think we should be friends no more. No explanation no nothing just I’ve been reflecting on things.

Like okay sure you’re allowed to reflect on things but seriously I just want an explanation. We would typically chat every day or every other day at that. Just don’t know where it came from and it’s really upset me cos I have VERY limited friends as it is.

What prenatal vitamins do y'all use, and which ones do you think are the best to use?

My boyfriend knows I don’t like being straddled, the first time he did it I told him before I met him I broke up with a guy for doing this. He’s done it 2 more times since and the third time was today. Since having our son I am starting to feel like we argue more and our connection is shifting so it really, really bothered me when he once again straddled me. It’s one of the most unattractive things a man can do to me because it’s something I associate with women. We are working on keeping the spark alive we have a date night soon but I feel like I what he did set us back cuz I always have to repeatedly tell him when I don’t like something.

So I’m having a c section in 2 days and my boyf is complaining that he has a cold. He is reacting like he’s literally dying. I also often feel like I’m his mum. Like he is always asking where things are kept or when laundry is getting done or if he has any clean jeans etc…. Like come on you’re a fully grown man!

Just me that feels like this or is it all men 😂

I feel like such a misery guts saying this but I literally cannot be bothered with a big wedding?

Ive ALWAYS had my dream wedding planned but now I have my LO my ideas about spending money and energy on things has completely shifted.

My LO is 9 and a half months and its fair to say my mental healths been up and down since having him. I cant tell if my reason for not wanting this big wedding is my new personality or a little bit of postpartum depression/fatigue…

We have been engaged over a year now and I just want to go to a registry with my partner, baby and our parents and then jet off on holiday! I cant bare the thought of spending a house deposit on a day (no matter how much fun it might be/ how expected it is).

I think another big thing is since having my LO I dont feel as included with friends and family as i have in the past.

I dont want to upset family and friends and I can tell my partner feels a little confused by how i view the day. I do think as soon as we look at costs its clearer to him why I cant see the point in spending so much money. I also just hear/see people stressing about their wedding days which really puts me off!

I guess what im asking is -

do I need to wait it out and see how i feel in a year or do I embrace these feelings and get things booked in (jan 2027 wedding)?

what were your experiences with getting married?

Thank you so much in advance.
