Where's my village?

Its recently occurred to me that I dont have a single person in my life that lives a similar lifestyle to me and its very isolating.

Are there any other mums out there who have young children (i have 2 under 3), work full time, and have a barely reliable "partner"?

I need a conversation with someone who can actually understand and relate!

Seeking Conversation

So I'm bad at friendships. (I know. What am I even doing here?) I suck at responding a lot, but I just moved to this tiny town and away from my family for the first time and just need someone to distract me from all the stress! Flirty is fine as long as you're not pushy lol Snap is: thatbiitch90

Queer here

Hi all, I joined here as I’m queer. I’m not technically bisexual - my partner is non binary and I’ve had female partners in my adult life. There was no other groups for queer mamas. All good for me to be here? 😊

What would you do?

I used to LOVE ballroom dancing. I would regularly go to swing, salsa, and waltz clubs, dancing the night away. I even won a salsa competition once for moves I invented with my partner (friend). I know 3+ different kinds of swing…
It was a huge part of who I was.

My husband can dance one kind of swing and the two-step, but even then is pretty limited. Enough for me not to mind at weddings etc, and for the first 5 years of our relationship. We’ve now been together 9 years.

I’ve hinted and told him outright that it would mean a LOT to me if we could do a class together so we can *really* dance. He feels like he can already dance fine? Just having a good time? He doesn’t get it.

What should I do? What can I do?
No guy is going to ask a pregnant lady to dance 😂 And besides, I’d feel weird standing on the edge of the dance floor like a single girl after years of marriage lol
