Does it get Easier?

I’m a FTM. I love my son and I really do love being a mom. I lost my job last November and ever since my family ended up going through homelessness and had to figure things out. We are now living in a new apartment and everything is ok, but emotionally I’m just not feeling it. I’m still a sahm and looking for work but we can’t afford child care on top of that. I don’t really know what to do to help my husband support our small family. I feel so lost and overwhelmed. I don’t really have people that I can talk to let alone relate to as I’m only 22 and most of my family thinks I threw my life away. I just need to know if anyone has any recommendations or knows anything I can do. I wanna make things better but honestly how?

Lonely

I moved to a new city and had a baby. It feels like the perfect recipe for loneliness. I try reaching out to new people and putting myself out there, but I’m starting to feel like something is wrong with me. I have no friends, and it seems like I can’t make any. I’m not giving up, just in my feels today. Can anyone relate?

I’m stuck between the peace of having older “independent” kids vs the itch to want to have another baby🥵

Someone help, talk me out of it!!

Marriage and other..

My husband asked me to end things with my "fun" side piece. It's over the phone not in person. My husband had approved and enjoyed the benefits from it. But I think due to the other guy putting in more effort and giving me attention -- now he doesn't want me talking to him anymore. Thoughts?

Looking for a bestie

Hey! My name is Marissa and I’m 27. I’m pretty awkward and I don’t fit in with the people I’ve met around me. Looking for someone to text with and get to know, and maybe eventually turning into besties. Bonus if you have kiddos my kids age. (10,7,2) I love reading, and writing. I homeschool, am 420 friendly. Not religious, but don’t judge if you are! I’m a sahm, married for 10 years now. I don’t know what else to put hahah. Message me if you want!

Is this ungrateful or justified?

So my partner will be proposing this year, I just know it and we have never discussed what ring Id like. I am jewellery wearer and therefore quite particular with my style - after all I’m guna wear it for life. When I have tried to speak to my partner about my preferences he says I’m ungrateful and says he’s offended I think he doesn’t know me. I’ve even sent him photos of exact style. But then I accidentally caught a glimpse on his camera roll of a ring he’s screenshot and it’s a completely different style to what I would choose. I also know it’s close to £1k because it’s very blingy and I just want to tell him NO don’t spend all that money because the ring I actually want is so minimalist and costs half that money. What do I do?
