Not baby related

I had a very good friend for about 11 years. About 3 years ago she met another lady and they became friends, after that everything changed between me and my friend. We used to talk every day and meet at least once a week. Now we meet once in 2 months and talk for a few minutes once in 2 weeks. She got married 3 years ago, I went with her to choose her wedding dress, I used to call her every other day at that time and she didn't even bother to pick up the phone call, sometimes she called back, sometimes she didn't call back at all. Then I felt pushed away so I stopped calling her or making any effort to meet her like I used to. Sometimes I'd offer to meet up but it was like I'd offered and then she'd try to find excuses so we wouldn't meet up or we'd meet but the next time I'd wait for ages for her to offer me any meet up. I got married last year and she didn't even bother to ask me about my wedding dress... it may seem like I'm jealous but YES, I am! I miss her, but I don't think she misses me since she has this new friend. I know she meets her a couple of times a week and talks to her daily as she always mentions her when we have conversation over the phone ect. I really feel like I want to tell her something but I don't want to show her that I'm jealous and I don't want them both talking about my jealousy. Is it best to leave this relationship?

Honestly I'd just have an open and honest conversation with her about how much you miss her. You don't need to necessarily reveal jealousy or bring up the newer friend but just explain you're hurt that you've drifted apart and don't feel as close and miss the friendship you had and go from there ❤️ hopefully you all can find a nice balance that works for all or maybe the new friend is someone you may potentially also find to be a good friend and you could become an awesome trio instead

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️
