Do you ever feel like ‘damaged goods’ since becoming a Mum?

So basically my partner and I are not on great terms, and haven’t been for a while now. I keep thinking this might be it for us and we’d be better off separating, but one thing always comes to mind when I think about ever meeting someone new. I know in the grander scheme of things that meeting someone else isn’t exactly top priority but I hate to think of a life where I’m single forever, so of course it crossed my mind a lot.
The thing which worries me is that ever since having a child and becoming a Mum I feel like I’m damaged goods, in the eyes of anyone else that is. I feel like no one would ever be interested in me again.

Does anyone else have this feeling, or felt this way in the past?

Friends??

Heyy!! My name is Marie I’m 24 and I’m a ftm and sahm to a 5 month old baby boy🩵. I find it really hard to make/keep friends 😅. Honestly I’m kinda inconsistent, like we could text for days and suddenly I stop texting for a while (hence why it’s hard to keep friends) but I will always be there and answer whenever you text!! I’m from MA but I’m down to lone distance friendships🫶🏽

Skipping 6 week PP check up

Has anyone ever just skipped out on their 6 week pp check up?😭 I know this is stupid but I'm just curious. This is my 2nd baby, vaginal birth, no complications, 2nd degree tear, but I feel great! Physically and emotionally. I have no pain at all, no more bleeding, and I'm almost 100% sure my stitches are dissolved. My ob/gyn is 30 min away from me, and I will have to take both my toddler and newborn with me when I go cause my partner will be at work and I don't want to spend more money on a nanny. And I feel like it's gonna be a quick appointment since I have no problems and I just feel like it'll be a waste of time. Like I know I should get checked out just to be safe but I just feel so good and completely back to normal I really don't want to😭

Sex is better with a socialist

MAGA women you're being conned

Does anyone else feel lonely sometimes in motherhood?

I love my baby more than anything, but there are moments where I realize I’ve never really had a “best friend”… and becoming a mom kind of makes that feeling louder.
I have sisters and I’m grateful for them, but it’s not the same as having that one person you can text all day, vent to, or just feel fully understood by.
Some days it feels like I’m doing everything right as a mom, but still missing that connection for me.

Im bored

My husband is working out of town and I have no family in the city I live in! . I'd love to start a mini group chat because (im also a introvert) and struggle sometimes with small talk to keep. So maybe it would be easier?. I like anime & books. Maybe we watch something or read something together? 😅 idk

Should I even engage with this lady?

I started to ask if ladies wanted to be friends on Threads and this girl responds to the to connect with me but she posts on her own page that she's seeking friends (plus a list of characteristics and hobbies in common shes lookkng for) and then said no kids. I thought that was so weird
