Friend zone

Hello I am Zara , 21yrs , from central Africa , just looking for a real best friend. Distance doesn’t matter to me at all. I’ve honestly been lonely for most of my life and never really had true friends.
I do have a twin sister, but she’s away at the university, and I’m here with my cute 3-month-old son and his loving dad. Life is beautiful in its own way, but I still feel like something is missing… a genuine friend.
I really want someone real and constant someone we can talk to every day, share everything, laugh, support each other, and just be there no matter what. 🤍

Holiday with other parent

My ex and I broke up before I found out I was pregnant. Our child is now 18m and hes only started having him 1 night a fortnight (he does see child for a few hours a few times a week)
He wants to take our child away with his family for 8 days in August. I originally said no, cos child hasnt spent that long away from me and is with.me 90% of the time.
Im starting to reconsider, but he needs to do at least 2 nights in a row but he says he cant because of work. (Can't get that many Saturdays off) ive suggested he request flexible working from.work.

Basically, im just wondering what other people's opinions are? Theres no right or wrong, I just want to see what others would say/do.
Thank you

First birthday gifts 🎁

What useful toys/ items have you bought for your little ones first birthdays?

If your partner never complimented you would it get to you? Upset/annoy you for example.

I have asked him why he doesn't compliment me on many occasions. He either ignores me, huffs and shruggs, or says he doesn't think I deserve it ... 🤨

But it is making me feel ugly and rubbish about myself now. I can't remember the last time he complimented me but he is one of those who constantly stares at other women though even though I've said I don't like it and it upset me.

But as for the original question - would it annoy you/upset you/make you feel shit if your partner never complimented you?

New here and it feels like when I was on hinge but like I’m now the man🤣

Anyone else?

Supplements

Hi all! I’m currently taking 5 weeks pregnant and I’m taking folic acid every day and have been before I was pregnant. I’m just wondering if I need to be taking anything else?

I’m a little worried as I found out I was pregnant recently and I’ve been having A LOT of caffeine and a few alcohol drinks. I’m now obviously not drinking and only drinking 1-2 cups of decaf a day starting tomorrow. Does anyone know if I need to be concerned or what other supplements I should be taking? All advice is welcome 🫶🏼💓
