Please yall I desperately need some sense spoken into me.

My baby is 5 month 2 weeks and since before he was born I’ve been living in a single mom maternity home. I came to the home 20 weeks pregnant and since 25 weeks me and baby dad been tryna see if we can fix what was messed up. Anyways that would be going good, then go bad , then go good , then go bad. At month 3 of baby being born we stopped talking . Everything, so I just been handling and caring for baby on my own while he barely checks up on baby . Fast forward we spoke again and it seem like it was aight , then he met up with me and told me he currently living with his situationship at the moment..,🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴, he said he told me because he didn’t want our foundation to be set up on a lie and he had to tell me this way before it blew up . And now basically he kinda piggy backed off her , and how he don’t really like her but when he was having a tough time “without “ me she kinda filled that void , but supposedly it nothing to what we “have” , and how he really wants to be with me and he knows he “fd” up. He knows since he told me there now may never be a chance between us. He asked me how I feel , and I told him idk , to be honest , how tf is that something to come back from…. Mind you I have his child and he won’t even pick up his phone around her. He has TWO. phones now . One she gave him, and his regular, but he never keep his regular. He said , if I’m willing to get a place with him, he’ll drop the situation right away, but to be honest wtf does that make me ? (Please answer) i need the BRUTAL truth . At first yesterday i said f the whole situation, but now today i feel myself upset about it cause how could you. I’m taking care of our child every night in and day while you just living life having a ball ? Quite honestly if my child was hurt rn, he wouldn’t even know until he checks his phone . Am I wrong or bitter for just cutting him out the picture completely? How do I handle this. ? Idk what to feel and have no one to talk to about this. Please

Needing friends!!

Honestly just looking for genuine girl friends 🩷 I’m tired of feeling like I have nobody to call or make plans with. I’d love to meet girls who are down to talk, go out, grab food, have sleepovers, laugh about random stuff, and actually build a real friendship.

No drama, no weird energy, just looking for my people 🫶🏽 If you’re also looking for a genuine friendship, message me! Also making a group chat, comment your snap or insta!!

Anything I can do or not

I went into work to talk about my return to work, which is when my baby is 8 months old. I did three full days and half a day before the mat leave. Well I went back and I can only do three days now and instead of 7.30am till 6pm, I need to change my hours to 8am till 5pm, work have said the can't promise me those hours and they had to reject other people returning because they can't do the hours they need. I am not doing the original hours before mat leave, the reasons
I have to commute to work and it takes half an hour on a good day....
My husband could be on site all day and not be back till 7pm, I need to start dinner, bathe my baby etc
I'm not 100% sure I finish at six bang on because of problems at work, we have a thing at work where we can't go till everyone is ready to go
I am not asking to be a pain, I am asking for actual reasons, I was going to leave but found out I was pregnant when I was looking, I can't always have help from my husbands parents because they are in their 70s, my parents can't do it as my mum is disabled and my dad is her carer. I have no one else that can look after the baby, then my husband's job has started to get busy and he is out on site most of the time, he can't get another job because he has job security where he is and the pay is great, why go somewhere that pays less and he's not got that safety. I wont go back till I get the hours I need but will I win the fight? Thinking of a Union to help.
My boss was like we all got family, I know but I will never let my baby do a full day at my work it's something I am not willing to bend on and yes I work at a nursery.

Anybody wanna be friends?

Does anybody really want friends?? I’ve been in here forever and I’m just looking for some friends! I’ve moved here a year ago and it’s hard to find and do things in Winston. But it would be nice to have my own best friend!

Couples routine

How much time do you actually spend together? It gets so busy with work, kids, housework etc. Do you spend quality time with your partners everyday?

A Year of Silence: Would You Still Consider Them a Friend?

Imagine making plans with a close friend. They never show up, stop responding, and leave your messages on read. You reach out because you’re worried, but a whole year passes without a word.

You understand people struggle and need space, but eventually, you assume the friendship is over.

If they returned after a year, would you welcome them back, ask what happened, or walk away?

And if you’ve ever ghosted someone, what made it difficult to simply say you needed space?

Good morning, ladies! Just sending you a little encouragement today. I hope you remember to give yourself some of the same patience and care that you give everyone else. 🤎

BFF irl/virtual

Hey in dire need of a friend(s),
**I’d like to preface I’m not a fan of small talk or one sided conversations. Please don’t say you want to be friends and then not actually try**

I’ve been looking for my village/bff for YEARS
I need a genuine friendship; calling, texting, FaceTime, sending silly videos, body doubling on FaceTime so we can both have motivation to clean or whatever we’re doing.

I’m 33, married, have an almost 10 yo son, two cats, dog, and a lot of chickens 😂 I love to bake and cook, hate cleaning 🥴😂 I’m a sahm/homemaker, I love to read (thrillers and mysteries mostly)
I have the loml and my child, I just want my bff now ❤️
