Loneliness

I am currently 3 weeks PP with my second baby boy and really struggling with feelings of loneliness
I don’t really have any friends and so only have family and my partner for company
Just wondering if anyone wants to chat at all

The most embarrassing accent/language mistake you made?

While I was in Belfast I nipped into TK maxx (not somewhere I ever shop) to get an emergency rain jacket, the girl on the till asked me if I had a charging cord which I thought was really strange surely she would bring her charger to work, I said no I don’t sorry, she said oh would you like to get one then,I said no I’ve got one in the hotel room I just don’t carry it around with me,it wasn’t until she had looked at me funnily and I heard another cashier asking someone “do you have a treasure card” I realised she was talking about their membership card 🤣🤣😭😭😭

Thoughts?

My man works away from home most of the week. He went to a FIFA World Cup Game with his guy friends & I was a little hurt because I haven’t been able to do anything for myself or by myself for years since I gave birth to our child. Anywho, fast forward and he comes back really late telling me he’s exhausted, but then asks if I’m horny and I say no I’ve just been stressed all day taking care of our child who’s been throwing tantrums all day. And also, I feel like he’s probably horny because he prob saw a bunch of hot girls today at the event and I don’t feel like being used so he can get himself off of that’s why he’s horny. So I told him I’m too tired and I just want to sleep because we have plans in the morning. Since he’s come home on this particular week, he’s actually really tried to have sex with me a lot which he hasn’t been doing for years. So would you have sex with your man or would you be turned off too?

Am I being silly? (2 weeks PP)

I’m two weeks PP, my hormones are absolutely everywhere but am I being silly over this… so I was on the phone to my boyfriend before and he mentioned that his friend has booked somewhere for them to go out next week to watch England play and I didn’t say anything I just kept quite however I’m feeling it’s not very fair on me.. I’ve sacrificed so much, I’m exhausted, I haven’t had any freedom in months, and somehow he’s still able to have parts of his old life while mine has completely changed. There’s nothing wrong with him going out but all throughout my pregnancy he still enjoyed himself with his friends where I don’t know when I’ll find the time because my priorities are now her? I’m up every night doing the feeds which is my fault because I only showed him once and he never did it and I’m terrified of him getting her bottles wrong if that makes sense? like i always take over but being two weeks PP it’s now starting to get to me and i understand he’s back at work but I haven’t slept properly since when he’s been ok. He’s an amazing dad and I’m not criticising him but I want him to do more. What do I do my emotions are absolutely everywhere :(

Don’t Know What I Want 😭

Hi everyone, just came here to vent and possibly see if anyone feels the same way.
I am 29 years old and I have spent all my life trying so many different hobbies, activities, schools, and jobs.
Quick List of things since graduating high school:
- college (creative writing)
- online classes (computer science)
- Vet Tech classes
- Japanese language classes
- Guitar lessons
- Esthetician School
NONE of which I finished 🤦🏽‍♀️ some for financial reasons or just realizing I didn’t like it anymore. I feel like a failure who can never finish anything.

Things I’ve been thinking about getting into:
- EMT classes
- Barber School
- Childbirth Education
I’ve also tried getting into sewing and woodworking. Yoga and baking.
All of this in hopes of finding my purpose or passion. That big “AHA” moment where you finally feel like you know what you wanna do with your life.
The only thing I’ve truly ever enjoyed is being a mom but being just a mom doesn’t pay the bills and like most Americans me and my partner are struggling at the moment. I want to help contribute financially (though my partner is fine with me being a sahm) and the issue is we want to move into a bigger place to hopefully have another child but life is so expensive.
I want to start a business from home or go into a very flexible career but I deep down don’t feel the motivation to do anything and if I push myself I talk myself out of things with overthinking about all the cons, and what ifs and what could go wrongs. I just feel so lost.
If you made it this far thanks for reading all my thoughts and woes. Like I said hopefully I’m not alone in these feelings 🫠
