I feel you. I lack a lot of connection and intellectual stimulation. I used to be a professor and now I’m a SAHM

Outside hobby? As a sahm I’ve always had my 2 fitness classes a week it used to be Pilates and Zumba $13 a class I did that for 2yrs now it’s Salsa/bachata lessons then a social dance that follows I’ve been doing that for 3yrs, as my boys gotten older it’s easier for hubby to do bedtime since I leave at 6.30 for my 7pm classes. Perhaps find a class/group/club of some sort, something that gets you out of the house weekly it’s on same time same day usually. Even if I don’t talk to anyone that night doesn’t feel lonely coz I’m in a club full of people, if we do talk we have to scream over the music lol, and we just dance. All my mum friends have a hobby they go to, bestie goes poker every Friday my other friend does tai kwon do she brings her boy along. Do you drive?

Find some mom meetup groups!! Facebook groups, Instagram accounts, there’s lots around

I get that my man is on the road for 2 months at a time and it’s just me and my son. We need friends like yesterday 😅

My manager text me whilst I was on holiday and now I'm worried. Can I go away during maternity leave?

I'm from the UK. I was on full pay for 30 weeks and now on SMP.

MIL & partner issues

So we’re in the middle of building an annex in the garden for my mil. I’m not really keen on the idea since we don’t have a loving joyful relationship. But I knew if I didn’t go along with it my partner would have resented me a little and we’ve already really struggled in our relationship. Plus I’ve just had a baby with a toddler at home and not in the space to deal with any of it. He’s just told me that if at any point in the future I decide it’s not working he would stay with his mum. And he was dead serious 🧐 THOUGHTS?

Betrayed and Alone

I’m posting anonymously because I feel embarrassed and alone, and I could really use some support from other moms.

I thought I was in a relationship with someone who was only dating me. Then another woman reached out, and I learned he had been involved with her too. They’re no longer together, but I still can’t move past the betrayal.

He asked me to move in with him several times. I tried, but I kept leaving because I never felt emotionally safe with him. Now I’m pregnant, and he still wants to see me and have sex with me, but he hasn’t come to any appointments or really acknowledged our baby.

He says he’s upset that I spoke to the other woman and that I mentioned moving to another state with the baby, where I’d have support. I’m alone where I live now, and I was trying to think about how I could manage.

I feel awful. I keep thinking that if I hadn’t gotten back together with him, I wouldn’t be pregnant and facing this alone. Has anyone else dealt with betrayal during pregnancy? How did you get through it?
