I just need some guidance.

I recently separated from my ex-husband of seven years in November. I wasn’t looking to get into any form of a relationship for a while. Well, I met someone and we were having fun and we became really good friends. In January, I found out I was pregnant. Mind you, this man has 5 kids already. I was also told I couldn’t conceive when I was 19. I wanted the baby. He didn’t. I had a blighted ovum around 5 weeks and 2 days. I had a dnc in February. He and I had an agreement we were done messing around. Well that brings us to May 5, 2026, there was a slip up. I took a Plan B and everything. The test was positive. I’m now 7 weeks and this one feels different and I am positive about it. I told him and I said he could be involved but I will not force or beg him to be. He told me that if I keep it, he will leave. He also told my sister that this baby will mess up his chances of getting back together with his ex.

I’m not a spiteful person. I was raised in a tense co-parenting situation and I would never try and put my child through that. I could really care less if he stays or goes but I’m just worried about doing this alone. I really just need some encouragement.

If you are a single mother, then everything will be okay! Single mothers have it hard but you and that little baby will have a bond that no one can break. I do hope you have family and friends willing to help you out a bit if you need tho! Just take one day at a time and you’ll do great🫶🏼
(Maybe get that man on child support too, he might not want a baby or to be involved but he still chose to have unprotected sex with you knowing he didn’t want a child. It shouldn’t all be on you financially!!!)

Why is it so hard to connect with people in your 20’s? I’m looking for someone to talk to on the daily and maybe even ft, I’m 26 with 2 boys an 8 yr old and almost 2yr old! I live in South Carolina. I love to read romance and dark romance, I’m a cussing mom,and there is no such thing as tmi with me, I’m also anti social so it’s very hard for me to talk to people at first.

Walking Apps

Is anyone interested in joining an app that pays you for taking steps? I could share my referral codes for the apps I use! I downloaded them because my daughter always likes to be held and rocked as a baby (and still does sometimes as a toddler lol) so it was nice to feel like I was earning something while in the trenches

Does anyone else feel unseen or heard when it comes to bringing your baby around other people including family? A lot of the time I try to have a conversation with my family about something un baby related I find myself talking to myself because said people are talking / making faces at my baby instead? It’s starting to make me feel over looked and forgotten? It also follows along with the fact that no one ever wants to see me because they miss me but because they miss my baby? 🤷‍♀️

I’ve accepted that I’m never gonna find friends

In this day and age there is no way I’m about to make any friends. Everyone is so selfish and stuck up and and it takes literally nothing for everyone to get weirded out or just staring up not like you. I can’t even get ONE single conversing out of anyone and no one is actually willing to try to go out and meet and get to know each other everyone just wants to send memes back and forth and like each other stuff on socials and that’s really boring… I live in a rural area in Missouri, Washington, and literally NONE of the moms out here want friends. Like everyone has their clique and they just need you to know you’re never gonna be apart of it. I hate being alone and I want someone to hang out with and make memories with and instead I’m stuck in this generation that let this social anxiety run there lives and gets this “ick” over everything. It’s like no one even actually wants friends they just want a reason to bitch or they jus don’t want to see how they cause their own loneliness by being so judgmental of everyone
