Was I rude here? Gym etiquette.

Yesterday I was trying out a new machine, the leg press I’ve avoided it because I’m a little scared of using it and breaking my legs.

Anyways, it took me a minute to figure out how to use it. I wasn’t sure if I had good form so I did a very light test set to start then recorded a few more reps to reassure myself. I don’t like to take long on anything so I did feel bad taking extra time here but this lady was apparently waiting right behind me, arms crossed sitting on a different machine watching me. I got up to put a challenging working weight on and she just assumed I was done. She didn’t ask she just got in my persona space to whisper to leave the weights and tried to sit down. She caught me off guard and I asked her what she said three times brace she was very quiet and had a thick accent. But she was just assuming I was don she didn’t ask me she just said leave the weights on three times. I ended up saying I don’t know what you’re talking about I’m not finished. Exactly that.

Now I feel embarrassed. There are three of these machines too. One was empty but it’s a horizontal one so not exactly the same but still similar. I feel like you’d never catch someone doing this at the barbells. I get watched and rushed almost every time I use a machine but then I’ll be waiting ages (basically finishing my whole session waiting on someone to get out of the abductor machines). Idk I’m just frustrated, embarrassed and tired of the rude people at my gym.

Are we all making out with our friends?

I’m just gonna jump straight to the point lol. I want to find friends I can makeout with. Girl friends. I’m in a loveless marriage I don’t want to get a divorce but I’m literally dying inside without someone to pour my cuddling and kissing needs into. I guess I just want to know if there’s any other moms out there that have successfully found a deep friendship with another woman that they were able to bring to the next level without actually having sex.

Dislike of foreigner?

I don't understand. I've done nct course, didn't click with any of the mums, im doing swimming classes with the baby for 4 months, im doing baby activity classes for the past 2 months.... LO is 8 months old. Like today, 3 new mums, plus me, all had a great chat, class was over and I went on to help to clean up just to return and see the girls exchange phone numbers but none of them asked mine. I smiled and said goodbyes but I was left with this very bitter feelings. All these activities I am the only foreign mum. Everyone else is british. My english is very good. I'm polite. Kind. Happy person. I just don't understand. Have you ever come across situation like this?

Male low sex drive?

Anyone got a male partner with low sex drive? Feels very rare and lonely to navigate as men usually are these horny rabbits.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience or advise with this?

I am currently pregnant and our relationship has been on the rocks but the sex life has been poor for a few years.

Vinted

Anyone sell on vinted? How long does it take for your money to go into your bank once you’ve withdraw it?

Feeling so alone

Honestly feeling so alone in this season of motherhood. I don’t have a friend close enough where I can just call to have company, or to talk to about things I’m currently going through and honestly it feels really lonely. All my friends are childless travelling the world, partying etc and I’m currently pregnant with my third. I find it hard to connect with other mums tbh and I don’t know why.
