Friendship

In a relationship. Do yall have male and female friends? Or only female friends?

I have male and female friends. But it depends on who you are. I've never cheated on anyone in my life. If I had the proclivity to flirt or cheat outside my relationship I'd avoid male friends.

I have a pretty equal amount of male and female friends, and so does my husband.

I have a majority of male friends. Most of my life I've been in or worked in male-dominated areas, so it was just more natural to develop those friendships. I do have friendships with women as well, and maybe because there's fewer of them they seem stronger.
My husband is pretty secure so he has never asked me to stop having friends, of either gender. That would've been a hard no, as I'm bi and then what? I lose all my friends? No, thank you.

My husband also mostly has male friends as he definitely works in a male-dominated area, but I trust him and would not be against him having female friends.

Family

Hi everyone,

My name is Jessica, I am 28 years old married to my hard working blue collar man and a SAHM to a little boy named Jansen and a dog mama to a long haired dachshund named Allie!

Need advice

Me and my partner have been together for quite some time. But throughout my pregnancy He really started, just letting me down. Not being the partner I needed and not really being supportive. So during that process I've kind of just like started losing feelings and having resentment towards him. Rcently, he started work again. Which means I only see him once a week. And sometimes not even that, so it's just me and the baby.
So, any advice on how to like bring the spark back in our relationship, or if it's even worth fighting for? I love him and I want this to work, but I just don't know what to do.

Am I a bitch or is she ?

So to summaries me and my bd aren’t technically tg. But he be trying to grab me and touch me when ever he comes to see our baby. I love him but I have a feeling that he talks or sees other women I just don’t trust him. Today he calls me at 5 am to pick him up he’s in the middle of town. I’m like dude wtf are you doing out rn, whatever I picked him up. And he ends up falling asleep on the couch and he receives a call and I picked it up and it was some girl that he talks to. I answer the ft like it’s him lm like hello and she thinks it’s him. Then I’m trying to talk to her but I just don’t know what to say so I end up telling her I’m his bm and she’s like oh okay, “tell him to call me when he’s up” I said “ do you guys talk” she *sighs* and hangs up.. I was shook bc why wouldn’t she want to talk to me… tf did I do to her. He’s literally my bm. Idk if I’m the bitch or her. But if I was her I would have reacted nicer.. maybe that’s just me. I wasn’t being a bitch to her on the phone. I was nervous as hell. Smh

Anti-social

Hi, has anyone become very anti-social during their pregnancy? I am 37 weeks now and I just don’t want to speak to anyone other than my husband and 4 year old. I am usually very social and love having family round so this is not like me! Has anyone else experienced this in pregnancy?

Making friends is hard xx

Making new friends as a mum for play dates or just new friends in a new area is so bloody hard! Kinda giving up but determined 🥹 Moved here in december and just can’t seem to make friends,i just want my 2 year old to have a social circle aswell! She does go to sing & sign but even then we struggle as the mums are in a hurry to leave afterwards 😔 Feeling so lonely,doesn’t help i moved away from friends & i walked away from family for my mental health 🥹❤️ xx

Annoyed or upset by the new govt guidance on screen time?

I felt bad anyway when I needed to resort to teletubbies to cook or clean up....now I feel even worse.
Home alone, no village, no nursery and no nanny or babysitter in this house...I do everything! I'd rather have half an hour quiet time twice or three times a day so I can do things...
Also I guess adults can't watch their favourite sports or the news or anything anymore huh.
Parenting these days is hard enough...
