Looking for a bestie!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a best friend, long distance or not, just someone to text and call and have a bond with! It's so hard making friends with a strong connection nowadays. I'm 21 and my son is 2!! I'm about to marry my best friend who is in the military. I like reading, binging TV shows, baking, embroidery, sims 4 and thrifting! Feel free to msg me!

New friends

Hiii looking for new mom friends I am in upstate ny but open to online friends too! I need someone to send TikTok’s to 😩🤣

Girls be honest

Is it normal to find other individuals attractive when in a long term relationship? Do you consider this as a betrayal? Please comment.

Thoughts?

Sent a message to my work lunch buddy who’s now left the company for another job and her response was, “Sorry, who’s this?”

PS: We’ve always messaged each other on our phones.

Feeling pathetic

Slowly come to realise I’m never THE friend I’m constantly the back up friend.
The one that’s always there for you but you’re never there for me.
Always free for your plans but never mine.

I’ve recently fallen out with my best friend who took more of my other friend with her.
I made up with an old friend
Who makes no effort to actually show we are friend never meets me but meets others all the time always an excuse whenever I asked her to meet.

Started talking to more old friends and more constant excuses as to why they can’t meet never message me just eachother always letting up together but I’m never invited.
It’s my birthday soon and I’m trying to plan something to go out.
Sisters on holiday
1 friend is also on holiday
People have “no money”

No one is “free” but the excuses are just excuses they’re not real

Starting to feel like I have no body.
Recently making some new friends at work.
But I’m anxious meeting new people having known all these other people for 10 years I haven’t had to meet new people so it’s all new to me

Sinking into a hole of depression

Indian Arranged marriage - Feeling like im loosing my freedom

It's been a year since I married and with in 2 months of marriage I got pregnant. I didn't want to have children but my husband said infertility rate is high and once its done we can enjoy. I don't know why I agreed. But my main problem is my mother in law. They have a big house and she expected me to do all the house work which I did not. I didn't do any house work except cooking. After getting married I did dishes and cooking. She calls all her relatives and says I'm not doing anything. I stopped doing all the house work once I got pregnant and I had to go office.I had anterior pregnancy so I got severe back pain. Mil still expected me to do all house work which I did not and she made 1 curry and ate for 3 days. I ate office lunch but dinner was one curry for 3 days. She made my pregnancy journey horrible. My breastfeeding journey too. I still have severe back and tailbone pain in 3 months postpartum. She somehow convinced my husband to make me work( house chores) at 3rd month I started doing hourse chores again this time a lot of work. I feel sick. I feel lost. I feel drained emotionally, physically and financially ( they take half my salary too and the rest goes for the baby or for the house). I feel stuck. My husband goes out a lot not only for work but for events, friends, gym etc. I started hating him like he expects me work in house and he enjoy's outside. Im now in my mothers house and don't want to go back.

Respectfully, why are we pretending my soulmate mom friend has to live within 15 miles of me? 😂

Buffalo mom-to-be here (Go Bills!) looking for online besties from literally anywhere. I swear I wish I was a boomer because I’m convinced they made friends by standing near a fence for 4 minutes. 😭

Would love fellow first-time moms or seasoned mommas who can talk me off the ledge when I add something to the registry I absolutely will never use 🤭

I’m bringing humor, support, and occasional unhinged late-night pregnancy thoughts to the friendship.

Future group trips with the kiddos encouraged ✈️ Send me a chat and let’s build this friendship boomer-style with a modern twist👌🏿🤗

Sorry I don’t meet your expectations!!

Hey there moms I’ve got something to say! Look this is a websight for moms to get information , advice, and find friends! That is NOT wat im finding. I get it im strange, odd, I don’t pick up on social cues but let me tell you something about me. I’ve got so much trauma that happend in my life as a child and young adult im pretty sure would give anyone a heart attack im autistic so I care deeply about the friends I do have and that creeps people out I guess idk, I have adhd so im all over the place and sometimes I text back but forget to send it and have some other problems but I don’t let them problems define me but what hurts the most is all I want is some friends! Not to be judged bc im strange this isn’t a sight for dating but most woman act like it. They talk to you get to know you and the poof gone wtf really this isn’t middle school. We are all adults if you feel like that person isn’t a match say it and move on not just ghost ppl. I want true friendship. Someone I can talk to, lean on share advice hang out text. I want a friendship like we have known one another for years. I was bullied as a child and I never fit in and sadly as an adult it’s the same

Leaving relationship while pregnant

Has anyone had experience leaving their partner while pregnant or with a newborn? I am sorry to say I’m considering leaving (I’m 23 weeks) but I’m too scared. There is no love or care or compassion in the relationship. Every argument victimises him and ends in an apology to me, where I’m forced to analyse how I will be better. I can’t bring up anything I feel because it always leads to me being “ungrateful”, it’s so infuriating.

My friends and my mum have advised me to leave. I have a great family and friends support network back where my parents live, but it’s 3 hours away. My options are: move to another city with my partner in two months time (like planned) for his new job, have a bigger place to live in, space for the baby (still 3 hours away). Or, move in with my parents. The latter stresses me out to think about because it’s a noisy and busy home and I don’t even have a bedroom there, so it would not be easy to figure it out.

So badly I want to move with my partner and raise our daughter together, but I don’t think he’ll ever change. He doesn’t admit where is wrong. Why does every argument lead to arguing about how I talk over him and he feels not heard, when I just wanted to mention how it’s not fair that I’m his housemaid or how I feel the most stress right now than ever in my life.

Please any advice is welcome, I’m overwhelmed with emotions.
