I've come to the conclusion

I'm never going to make friends. I think it's because I'm not miserable in my marriage, nor do I consider myself a "married single mom." I can drive, I have a routine, I love my life. My kids don't bug me, I don't regret my life decisions. I'm excited for the future. I have hope.

Like I'm bummed because I don't have a group of ladies to call my besties, let alone one bestie(besides my hubby. He's wonderful šŸ˜) but I guess that's just how it is in the current year. Smdh.

Sounds like you are too happy to be able to bond with someone over misery šŸ˜‚ I know what you mean.

I am in a similar situation and I've stopped actively looking for new friends. Instead I clear my calendar, focus on spending time with my family and on my hobbies. The right people find each other when timing is right and I am sure best approach is to just keep an open mind and wait it out.

I feel this! I haven’t officially met anyone in person off of this app yet, but I have been having steady, sometimes months long conversations with some amazing women.
So I agree with the above comment. Having an open mind and waiting it out will attract incredible friends for you.

Don’t give up, I met my best friend on here 4 years ago after our first babies.. I’m now God mum to her second and she’s been a huge support during this pregnancy 😊

I am going to be honest. I feel the exact same way.

I have friends who are all of those things but honestly I really don't care for the "I hate all men because of...." conversations they have.

I don't hate my man šŸ˜… I love him. He makes dumb decisions like the rest of us. He is not perfect and I am going to be honest I know what I married into 🤣

Mum and baby parking

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my first and sometimes my partner and I park in mum and baby spaces in the supermarkets, but I feel guilty as we don’t have children yet I’m only pregnant.
What do you think about it?

Gov childcare

Does anyone understand what I’m meant to do?
My 3yo is at nursery 2 days a week and I’ve applied for my 1 year old to go in September (Sept is already too late becquse my maternity leave has ended, so he’s having to be looked after by grandparents).
Well I’ve had to reconfirm our details for the free childcare… and they’ve asked for my last 3 months payslips.
The last time I was paid on maternity leave fully was April. May I hardly got anything, June I got nothing. And for July, I’ll get the payslip at the end of July and they need it all by the 23rd of July.
I’m so angry, idk what to do. And if they decline the funding- what then? No way can we pay for them both to go to nursery because it’ll cost more than my wage.
I’m just fuming

Roommates with wedding photos

What do you do, when your husband is a great man, a great father. Your best friend…. But the love isn’t felt, the spark haven’t been for a while, you don’t argue, you have good times out, but your mates, there isn’t affection unless it’s occasional sex, no kisses just mandatory goodbye pecks. He doesn’t love me how I want to be loved, is that horrible to say when he’s a great man?

Money issues!

Can a relationahip survive money issues?

Eg.Partner A being a SAHP after losing their job in a bad way leaving trauma. Partner A now looks after the coupls 4 year old audhd child.

Partner B works full time from 6-2. Up until recently it was 5:30-2:30. Previously it was 6-3. So roughly the same hours. Partner B also travelled for work and spent roughly 5 of the last 12 months away working.

Partner B earns 6 figures.

Partner B gets stressed about money and snaps every now and again. It's random stuff too; Partner A picked up some latte sachets on sale, B snapped. Kettle gets broken, B snapped. Partner A needs to go see rectal specialist. B snaps.

Situation currently sucks and both need help.

Can the relationship survive?
