Any other recovering people pleasers struggling with friendships?

I’ve always been a bit of a people pleaser/doormat, and it’s something I’ve been trying to work on ahead of becoming a mother. I tend to seek friends who are good at communicating their own feelings and boundaries thinking they will know how to hold space for mine in turn. But this blew up in my face quite recently, and it’s left me feeling quite shaken and fearful to get close to people again.

Has anyone else experienced/struggled with this, especially when moving into motherhood? My friends are all either younger or earlier in their journeys and I worry that this next part of my life might become quite lonely.

Am I missing something?

How are we all managing to keep on top of housework, cook healthy meals, be present for our husbands and babies/children, work out and look good? Am I missing something because omg I feel like I'm drowning a bit at the moment 😂

Hi!

Hey everyone, I’m new to this group and honestly just looking for connection. Life, marriage, and parenting has been feeling very heavy lately and I realized I don’t really have a support system that I can rely on.

I’d love to connect with other moms and wives who get it. Whether it’s for venting, advice, or just not feeling so alone. 💛

boring sex life??

my bf is never interested. like if i initiate he’ll go along w it and all but he never initiates. it’s so boring and makes me feel so undesired. yes i’ve communicated this countless of times. no he doesn’t watch porn. i assume he’s attracted to me bc he finishes so quick too so idk what the issue is. he says he’s always tired. but like i guess if that’s seriously the case im still irritated and idk what to do like im obviously not gonna cheat but im so sexually unsatisfied and i wanna feel physical chemistry and passion. it’s highkey not even abt the sex it’s about the chemistry. idk what to do.

I hate trying to make friends

After having kids making friends is just the worst thing ever . I want a friend who doesn’t already have a best friend lol is that bad to say ?? But I’ve made up my mind to just stop looking. I’ll talk to people if I meet any.
