My best friend has been a single mom for years and I’ve been married for years. She is my ride or die, married or unmarried.

My bestie is single as a dollar bill! Has been my bestie since HS! We’re 37 now! I’ve been with my husband for 8 yrs!

My two mum friends, one is married and one’s in a long term relationship. I’m a single mum. I hold no judgement towards them, nor envy. I love my little family! Just me and my little girl. Nothing but feminine energy & fun days.

Single mom here and my gf has been married for ages.
I think you might be being paranoid or have had bad luck. I don't feel any type of way saying I'm a single mom. If anything we share our different perspectives of certain things

I’m in a relationship now, but it has never determined my friendships. I’m friends with single moms. When I was a single mom, I was friends with moms in a relationship or married.

I remember a while ago there was a post where some women said they don't want to be friends with single moms as they are after their husbands and are out partying all the time. You may be experiencing it.
