How do you learn to love being alone whilst having a child?

Being dead serious the loneliness I felt before becoming a mom feels nothing compared to now.
I come from a very small unhelpful family and I don't really have that many close friends..I've tried making more mom friends but it's not been easy.

There is a peace to being alone for sure..
But how do I learn to embrace it/ live with it?

By doing little things for yourself and reminding yourself you are valuable whether single alone or not

I am sorry you feel this way. Are there any mums groups you could attend in your area? I don’t know where you live, but in many places you can find baby playgroups or parents activities you can do with your baby and it could be a nice way for you to get out and talk to people that are possibly facing the same situation.
Have you checked also any parents supporting network in your council website?
I don’t think we are made to be alone and parenthood is so challenging. Having a supporting network around is super important, I wouldn’t suggest you to learn how to embrace loneliness but instead not giving up since there are solutions out there❤️

Is this cheating?

Me and my partner have been together for 12 years, he has been on websites to meet men in the past and I have found out etc. He swore he will never do it again, but i just had an feeling he was as we haven't been having much sex due to me struggling with my MH and our life is just a bit all over the place atm. Last time he said he just like to talk and have a bit of fun, but he has confirmed he has met men before for BJ's. So I haven't yet confronted him this time round as I have only seen the profile and nothing on it. But is this classed as cheating as its same sex but he swears he is not gay?

New here 😇

Hi loves!

I wanted to just say hello - I don’t have a lot of selfies (a girl is self conscious) but I am new-ish to TN and I have 0 friends.

I don’t have Snapchat but I do have an instagram!

Mostly I would just love some conversation and someone to spend time with!

Push present

Are you expecting a push present from your partner?

I see this so much on social media. My thought is the push present is the baby, but I'm thinking about being cheeky and asking for him to build me a build in hidden bookcase door. Bare in mind he is the least DIY savy man ever 😅🤭
