It’s my birthday and I have no friends.

It makes me so sad. It’s so hard to keep up with a full time job, my son, the endless tasks, my relationship, my ill parents, no village, no help. I had a close best friend I grew up with, but she went through a major life change in the past year and hasn’t been the same for a while.

It’s hard to feel insignificant when I feel alone so often. It’s hard to see others have friends and people they can be themselves around. I want it so badly.

Just a tearful vent. Thank you if you have taken the time to read it.

Happy birthday!!

Happy birthday dear!🎉🎈🎂🫶😁 It saddens me you feel that way. 😒 I some what feel how u feel i don't have a job, or friends i mainly spend my time with my kids. God has a plan for everyone sometimes bad times pass thru. So if u don't mind a broke friend, lol i'm here to chat hun! 🤪

I do have friends but when I first joined peanut 6yrs ago around Mother’s Day I did an open invite Mother’s Day bash at Karaoke 😂 9 mums turned up! It was a huge success. If you have game, do an open invite for your Bday. I’m sure lots of mums are in same position and want a night out but have no one to go with. Happy birthday!

Happy Bday 🎆🎊🧁 I deff can relate to this. fulltime mom, wife and worker here too. You do so much for everyone and hold it all together almost flawlessly but sometimes itd be nice to have someone hold you up for a bit or at least notice it all right ? Im here if you need a shoulder or an ear. I feel like ive got balance in so many parts of my life finally but the friends side has deff taken a back burner. I miss just having people to share the good times n vent the bad with.

Hot take

When someone points out that sometimes birth control fails and the response is “then don’t have sex” I assume that person has a lackluster sex life. 🤷‍♀️

Vaginal odour

Its been 2 years now of me struggling with this disgustimg fishy smell down there. It goes away for like five minutes after a shower and then it comes back and no matter how many underwear I change in a day or don't wear at all. I still smell the smug get into my clothes, causing me to run out of clothes and shower like four times a day I have been to my guy now multiple times have been tested for BV multiple times all coming back negative I am not sure what to do as this is not only affecting me, but it's also affecting my mental health and my sex life. If anybody knows what I should do please help.

Safe space question

Question for Black women dating or married to white men 👀

I’m a Black woman myself, and I’ve honestly been thinking about trying interracial dating, so I’m curious about other women’s real experiences.

Do you feel like your relationship dynamic is healthier, more peaceful, or emotionally different than relationships you’ve had in the past? What differences have you noticed?

No judgment either way, just genuinely curious ❤️

WFH jobs

I’m sure this has been asked a million times but I’m desperate. My BD kicked me out and I’m staying with my family in a different state (against our parenting plan) until I can get an income. I was a hairdresser before. I need help!!

High sex drive, husband thinks I use it as a tool

I started a new medication and it requires me to be on a specific diet. I actually hate most of the foods I’m allowed to eat, so I’ve been sticking to just white rice and grilled chicken mainly. As a result, I’ve lost a weight and my sex drive has been ridiculous. I’m just always horny and always ready to go. My husband doesn’t want to have ever though, so I asked him why he keeps rejecting me and he said he feels I’m using sex as a tool to manipulate him because I’ve never wanted it this much before. I asked what I’d be manipulating him into and he said he doesn’t know, but it’s just suspicious. I tried to explain I just feel more confident and into it more, but he doesn’t believe me. Now we’re not having sex at all (used to have sex 2X a week on average before). I don’t know what to do.

Whats wrong with me...

Basically my fella has this female friend that he's close they see each other everyday. I am close to her too but not as close... In all honesty i distance myself because I've never being a very social people like they are. I don't mind having friends but not the type of person to spend every single day together... Is that a bad thing? I've being called boring and anti social by them both for this and its upsetting me now. I aint being boring i just don't trust her at all.. She's tried stirring stuff between me and my fella .. She constantly brings drama to my house etc ... This is why I've backed off a lot from her.. However my fella still spends everyday around her and her fella...

I give up i just don't know what to do anymore coz every time i do say something my fella is quick enough to jump to her defence.. Apparently shes like a sister to him and im jealous

What do i do?
