Separating

I’m considering leaving my long term partner of 12 years. It’s lost it’s spark and we can’t seem to get it back. I want excitement and fun back in my life but also don’t want to ruin our little family and effect the kids.
Anyone been through this and made it work? How 😫

Hey I would suggest speaking to your partner to see if you can help solve how your feeling, talk about the times you would spend together and why you guys got together initially. It's very common to feel this way especially with how long you've been together, try doing things to bring the spark back and give it some time. If you still feel the same way it may be best to part ways if you feel like it's making you feel down or depressed x hope this helps

We’ve spoke about it a few times and I’ve been feeling like it a while. We’ve not had the easiest relationship in terms of trust (on his part) so I think I’m holding that against him and I can’t seem to get round that. I love him dearly but it’s I’m struggling to know if it’s what I still want going forward. X

It's understandable for you to feel the way you are, maybe have a little break frome each other and stay away for afew weeks after that see how u both feel and if you felt happier being away from him then i suppose your not doing a bad thing by separating. Alot of the times parents stay in a relationship for the sake of the kids however if you aren't happy that's not healthy for the kids either. If you don't mind me asking does he feel the same way aswell or does he feel your relationship is fine and there's no issue x

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Really embarrassing!
I'm a first time mummy at 35, she's 16 month and everytime I sneeze or cough I lose control of my bladder and pee a little 😔, I've had countless utis since having her aswell! Will it get better? Or do I need to invest in panty liners? 😆

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
