Loneliness

I didn’t know whether to write this or not, as I really don’t even know what to do at this point. I’ve been really struggling with the constant feeling of loneliness and just feeling like the whole world is just going past and I’m not even apart of it anymore.

I have friends that I have lost since becoming a mum or even major shifts in friendships. I’ve got 1 mum friend who is amazing and I’m so thankful for her.

However, I can’t help but feel this constant loneliness. I just feel like no one gets it and no one can see it. I try and open up. But no one seems to understand.

I find it really hard to make friends I have done all my life. But now I’m finding it especially hard. I have joined in with baby groups in the local area and yet everyone is already friends or in the clicks. I find when I start conversations it’s shut down very quickly. I just honestly can’t stand it.

Everything is just building up on top of me and it’s really starting to affect my mental health.
I honestly don’t know what to do

Phone Friends 📱 🧡

I’m looking to connect with some like-minded people who don’t mind talking on the phone while we tackle our to-do lists. I have ADHD, and I find it really helpful to have someone to “body double” with—just chatting while we work helps me stay focused and actually get things done.

If you’re someone who likes productive phone calls, working alongside a friend (even virtually), or just wants a new accountability buddy, I’d love to connect! 💛

Need baby daddy advice

I am a single new mom with a 2 month old and the baby dad acts like we don't exist. Am not sure how to keep it short but I'll try.
We were seeing eachother, had sex once and I got pregnant. As soon as I knew we had a mature, adult conversation while on a walk and the impression I got was that we both really understood each others perspectives,but he stated that doesn't want to be a father. I didn't have any expectations of him plus I wasn't sure then what I am actually going to do.. But I really wanted to be a mother and I was always open about that.
Anyways, we move and he becomes more and more distant.. where I feel like I try to keep the communication and literally force him to talk to me about how he feels.. I eventually give up, reading the room.
He messaged me out the blue asking me what I decided about the pregnancy and that he is stuck in a 'limbo' so I send him a 6 minute video of explaining how I feel and that my decision is to be a mother and let myself be. He didn't respond... then for months he is the first one to view all my stories, when he heart reacted one of them I messaged him frustrated whether he is doing it on accident and that my 6 minute video got ignored and I feel dismissed. He just said that he can be glad that I am happy and that in his opinion he said all that there is to say...
He continued viewing my stories until recently where I limited his access because of how much it was frustrating me that he is not saying anything about her being his daughter 😢😫
And now I don't know what to do. Some say I should ask for child maintenance, some say to just leave him be.. and am just so annoyed at him for acting like this... Just for info he is a 38 year old uni professor with a Dr title 🙃

Useless

I want to change career when I go back to work I’ve been saying it since ive been pregnant and my baby is now 5 months old. The problem is I don’t know what to do and my partner is nagging at me constantly saying you don’t want to do anything there’s nothing you like when ever he suggests a course that’s going to save us money or bring in money and it’s really getting me down making me useless. I’m just content don’t have any hobbies, not into jewellery, clothes, bags etc like most girls.
But it’s making me feel bad because he’s a lorry driver working 60+ hours a week and I’m not putting anything in to help him out.

Husbands ex is claiming she’s pregnant with his baby

Just wanted to vent because I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

His crazy ex who won’t leave us alone showed up at my child’s birthday with both our friends and families present and announced their affair and alleged pregnancy. She is definitely pregnant.

The plot twist though is my husband is completely sterile and our kid was born with a IVF/sperm donor. No one knows this except us and our doctors, so now we’re essentially doing damage control. Looking to speak with a lawyer for fraud and defamation, but want to talk with our families first.

Mainly just posting here because the situation feels so surreal. Who does that?

Do I test my partners loyalty or leave?

I don’t trust my partner and I think he maybe cheating. I’ve had my suspicions also things has happened in the past (messaging girls, been on dating sites, only fans etc) anyway I’ve tried going on his phone but his password has changed, I’ve tried having a conversation with him but he accuses me🤯 I’m tired of all this and being made to feel worthless but I also need some clarity…

My question is would I be wrong to ask someone to message my partner and test his loyalty or just up and leave?🤔

Am I weird?

I like the thought of my partner cheating/being intimate with another women. I wouldn’t say it’s a fetish but it’s enough for me to get off on it if I wanted to.
