Do people really want to make friends?

I’ll like a honest conversation please.

Do people really want to make friends or they think they want to? I’ve had so many of my chats left unreplied even when it shows the blue read tick.

If my profile or face doesn’t interest you, a kinder letdown than ignoring is better.

It’s kinda frustrating

I feel the same sometimes. I have been left on read so many times. However I know that not all of them do it on purpose.

I've only been using the app a few weeks, I'm due in September, but it feels more like conversations are forced on here. I've thought a few times about just leaving the app and hopefully making friends at baby classes instead, that way you can interact in person from the start and it feel more natural.

Working vs SAHM

Trying to decide if I want to go back to work or become a SAHM. We went through infertility for 3 years and had our baby girl in February.
I’m supposed to go back in a month but cant decide if I’d rather stay home. We can do it financially.
I do like my job but it also stresses me out at times. I would ask to go back 3 days a week if I did go back (already asked just in case, awaiting response) so I’d have 3 days on, 4 days off.
This may be our only child since I’m 32 so I don’t want to miss out on these early months/years. We also have inquired at multiple daycares and haven’t been able to get her a spot.
Advice?

Teaching assistant (UK only please)

I have the opportunity to be a teaching assistant but I know it's very underpaid/ a lot of work stress and a heavy workload.

Shall I do it?

Partner has no sex drive!

So my partner and I have only had sex 4 times since I was about 5 months pregnant. I am now almost 4 months postpartum, and it’s driving me crazy because he won’t talk to me or tell me what the issue is so obviously I think it’s about me! My postpartum depression is already so bad and thinking it’s because of me makes me feel worse! I’ve even told him this and it hasn’t changed much.

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.
