Advice please?!

Anyone been in this, or a similar situation before? I own a house with my ex partner, we have both agreed to sell as we have separated and neither of us can afford to take on the mortgage by ourselves, we are both still living in the property however, when it sells I will be homeless with 2 children (a baby and an older child). I am currently on maternity leave and can not afford private rent with the price of a 2/3 bedroom house in my area being around £1000. When I try speaking to him about my worries he just says he doesn’t know where I will go.

I don't think you'd have many options tbh. If you sell the council may see you as intentionally homeless although it could be an idea to speak to them direct. If you had the option go and stay with friends or family for a month and then approach the council that they are no longer able to house you. Id also be mindful that they will likely put you in temporary accommodation for the time being. I'd also make an application now to your local housing associations you likely won't be top priority but you will be higher given you have children. He can't force a sale on your home without court order and a judge would not make you sell the home either if it was going to make you and 2 children homeless. Depending on your situation you maybe entitled to housing support through universal credit but thats dependant on your income and savings etc. I would definitely go and speak to the citizens advice. Are the children his children too?

Can you not use the money from the house sale to buy somewhere?

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Why is it so hard it to make friends?!

Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are so horrible!

I’m in Woodstock, Georgia and so hard to connect and find friends a just enjoy the park with and motherhood.
