How are we making friends in our 30s?!

Help!! I feel like such a loser. I have like no friends and just hang out at home with my kids and husband all the time. He is my best friend. But I also want girl friends to hang out with. He goes and hangs with his guy friends and I just stay home. He asked why I never go anywhere and I told him I have no friends and no idea how to even make friends. So help! How do you make friends these days?!

Ordered sweet potato fries

She just wanted the dip (mayo and horseradish)

Update

My bf came crawling back after dumping me over me following a guy on Ig last week (I’m 4 months pregnant and I didn’t chase him when he broke up with me). He says he wants this family and is willing to go to couples therapy and said all the right things but I’m still hurt about him being so quick to leave me while I’m pregnant 3 days ago. Am I holding on to it and should just try to move forward?

Anyone around 23 years old and between weeks 8-11 of pregnancy?

I know this is super specific but i’d really like to know some people in my shoes 😂

CHITCHAT

I need a chatty friend because I cannot keep carrying conversations with “how was your day?” 😭😂

Tell me EVERYTHING.
Give me the random thought you had in the shower.
Tell me something nobody knows.
Trauma dump a little.
Overshare.
Tell me a useless fun fact.
Tell me why you’re mad at someone.
Tell me what you ate.

I genuinely do not care what we talk about—I just want someone who actually wants to TALK. pls & thankyouuu 😂🫶🏻

Struggling with Future MIL

Recently found out I’m pregnant and the other day had a massive argument with my future MIL. Me and my partner aren’t telling people yet but planned to end of the next month and I’m stuck on how to handle this. Does anyone who has had any experience have any tips or advice for me

Have yall ever kissed and or had sex with your husband and not felt anything for them.

Context I guess is we’ve been having problems since we got together and I guess I’m just not physically into him anymore.

Looking for someone to call 🩵

Hi! I’m Madeline and currently located in enid, OK. I’m here for my husbands work (military spouse) and just looking to make some friends- even if they are long distance, I’d really just love to have someone to call!!

So… How Do Adults Make Friends?

First post in here and I figured I’d finally say hi instead of just scrolling 😂

I’m 36, a mom to a 19, 9 and a 2.5-year-old, all girls!! I work full time, so life is basically always busy.

I’ve also realized I’m 100% a Type C mom 😂 I have good intentions. I make lists. I forget about the lists. Somehow things still get done.

Honestly, I’m just looking for some mom friends. Like REAL friends. Someone to text random things to, grab coffee with, complain about life with, and actually make plans with.

If you’re in the same boat, I’d love to meet you. Because apparently making friends as an adult is weirdly hard. 😂
