Friends?? 🥰

Hiii looking for FT buddies and someone to message late at night when the little one is up!!

Son is now 8 and I am struggling so bad with life and motherhood in general. I have no friends, no hobbies. I just work and stay home while praying for it to be nighttime so all the pain and sadness will go away. I wake up each day and start it all over again. I don't know what I am doing here but I am trying to give everything a shot.

Feeling like...

Why does it feel like sometimes even when you've made the effort to connect with people that there's still a disconnect?
Or maybe I've said something wrong?
Who knows.
An invitation.
Maybe I let somebody down?
I think when things are last minute its harder for me to make it work but if an invitation arises again,I most certainly won't let it pass me up. I'll rearrange what I got going on to make it happen.

What's everyone feeling like currently?

Oops

I want to make friends but can’t seem to get past the awkward part aha

What is this?

So my husband brought up today that he wouldn’t mind another “wife”, to help out with a lot of things. Y’k childcare, finances, and downright fun/sexy times etc. And so I told him that if we found the right women, that we both liked, she liked both of us, and our kids. Even brought up that if she wants kids then that’d be cool too! Then we could definitely make it work. Is it insane to think that?? I’ve never done more with a women than kiss my childhood best friend in middle school time (yearssss ago) I’ve always fantasized about it but never happened. I’d like to think I’d enjoy it though!

Sooo I guess we might be looking into a women to come into our relationship and become wifey material?😅

Look for a psychologist 👩‍⚕️

Hey 👋 are there any psychology major moms out there ? Looking for someone I can ask some questions regarding the “ nice guy persona “ I think this is who my husband is and it’s kinda scary .

Bestie

Why is making friends as an adult THIS hard!? I just want my bestie I can yap to & listen all day.

Side jobs

I’m a sahm to a 2 year old. My husband is stressing at work because they don’t want to give him a raise and I feel bad because he comes home tired and doesn’t have time to see the baby. I want to get a side job or online or even start up cricut projects again. I’m getting desperate and need ideas or if anyone knows anyone hiring online or even part time.

Progesterone pessaries irritation

Is anyone else on progesterone pessaries and find them very annoying? I am constantly irritated from them and I don’t know what to do about it. Any tips?

I’m also on blood thinning injections and I think I almost prefer them over the progesterone.
