Feeling so low today

I feel like ive hit a really low emotional wall today. Maternity leave feels so lonely sometimes and I dont really have any other mum friends with babies of a similar age to talk to who or hang out with. My partner and all my friends are at work and im just at home with my baby while my oldest is at nursery. Ive been crying a little things and I just feel stupid 🤦‍♀️

Hope your ok I hit that wall so many times lately. Have an 11 year old, 3 year old and 5 month old. We go to baby groups but dont really have any mum friends which makes it harder

You’re not stupid at all. ❤️ Maternity leave can be incredibly lonely, and I think it’s something people don’t talk about enough. You’re with your baby all day, but that doesn’t mean your own need for adult conversation and connection disappears.
I completely understand how isolating it can feel. Some days, the loneliness just seems to hit all at once, and even the smallest things can make you cry. Please know you’re not alone in feeling this way.
If you ever need someone to chat with, my inbox is always open. Even if it’s just to vent about the day or talk about the babies, sometimes having another mum who understands can make all the difference. Sending you a big hug. 🤍

Does your husband comfort you with sex or was it taking advantage of the moment?

We had a huge fight and I was bawling my
eyes out about the situation. He was hugging me and wiping my tears away the entire time telling me it was gonna be okay. He started kissing me then gave me oral sex then we started to have sex. Has anyone experienced something like this before?
