Is it extreme or the way it should be???

My husband (straight white cis male) is doing a year of schooling to get his admin credentials. One of the classes is about being anti racist and offering extra support and making sure there's diversity/inclusivity in the classroom.
All that's great and not at all the problem. But his teacher for the class was going on about being anti white and that she won't help or pay attention to white cis male students, and will be prioritizing students of a minority.
When the only other white guy asked a scheduling question he was brushed off and told he'd get it in an email.
When a woman of color asked the same question she was given a real answer, that they would have group meetings of certain sizes in different locations and they'll get notified when and where.
Like I said, we're all for the diversity and being anti racist but is the teacher maybe being a bit extreme by brushing off the guy and saying anti white?? Or is this the way it should/has to be?
(I'm a bi cis woman of color)

Sex

I am four months pp. we have had sex once.
My husband wasn’t into having sex whilst I was pregnant (ok fine) but he never comes onto me. Never tells me he wants it.
It’s like he’s just not that into me.

He works a lot and and we can sometimes be “passing ships” and I’m often asleep before him but he doesn’t even say “shall we” or never implies he ever wants it.
I don’t want to keep bringing it up but why should it always be me…

He told me quite early on pp I need to lose weight so now I can’t help but think he just doesn’t fancy me as I haven’t lost weight.

Alone

I don’t even know what I want out of posting this. But I’m so alone. I’m so tired. I’m so burnt out… I’m a single mother of a medically complex kid. I have no friends. I have no family. My daughter’s family has nothing to do with her. I get no breaks. I get no time to myself. I work from home and raise my daughter while I’m working. I can’t afford a baby sitter so I have to balance both at the same time. I never get to get out of my house unless it’s the grocery store or errands. I have no social life it’s just this. My daughter is 6 now and I didn’t even think I could get pregnant when I found out I was pregnant with her… and then she came out when I was only 5 months pregnant. It’s been an emotional roller coaster ever since.

I literally have 0 support system. I don’t have the energy to make friends. I don’t have the safety to make friends because I don’t want strangers around my child and I’m never away from my child. I don’t have time to make friends….

It’s just my child, my job, my chores and errands.

I’m so tired. I’m so burnt out. I’m so depressed.

Making friends, staying connected

Why is it so hard making friends, especially when you get older. You would think it would be easier the older you get but its not. Older ppl can be so mean. Like who peed in your cereal. It doesn't help that im a loner in real life. I take my kids out try to conversat with the other mothers but I always leave feeling like I've over shared my life or I didnt say enough.

I did sign up for this app expecting to make a connect at least on here I haven't. A bunch of dms but it never really goes any where.

Just for fun… Push presents count if I buy them myself? Or it should be husband buying them?

Money is shared so is the same either if buy it or him, it’s paid from the same account.

Does it have to be something expensive or any sweet small detail counts as well?
