Need of connection

I love being a mom, but I need some adult energy.

Feeling down and trying to stay positive. Anyone else feel like they try so hard and it almost makes things worse 😂

Is there something wrong with me?

No one ever replies to me. Comments or messages. I’ve reached out a lot and not a single person has ever wrote me back. Is it the way I look? What’s so terrible about me

Sex drive issues

Bit of a personal post but I need some advice, I’ve always struggled with my libido especially since I went on the pill when I was 14 and i was on it for 6 years until I decided enough was enough as it destroyed me completely.

When I came off it i felt great and felt like I was going back to ‘normal’, but since having my little boy I’ve been struggling and it’s really affecting my mental health and my relationship. My partner is very understanding and wants to support me but I’m not sure what else I can do to get it back 🙁

I just don’t feel normal and feel broken in a way? All I want is to be able to feel that connection with my partner too.

Has anyone else experienced this and have any advice? I have an appointment booked to see a nurse to discuss it but thought I would see if anyone has any other suggestions.

Am I in the wrong!!

My husband and I were about to have X. He had been scrolling through Xual content on Twitter, which made him horny, and then he wanted to penetrate me straight away.

There was hardly any cuddling, touching or foreplay, so I wasn’t aroused or wet enough. I asked him to wait so I could get some lubricant because I didn’t want penetration to hurt.

He immediately became angry, got dressed without saying much and told me, “Not even a hoe has ever done that.” As he was putting on his clothes, he also said, “Don’t worry, I have plenty of ways to sort myself out.” I’m not sure whether he meant watching sexual content, finding someone else or simply taking care of himself, but it felt like a threat intended to make me feel guilty.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. He often wants to penetrate me without cuddling, touching me or taking time to get me aroused first. When I try to have a conversation about it, he turns things around and blames me.

I give him most of what he wants sexually, but I don’t feel like I receive much pleasure, affection or effort in return. I understand that intimacy shouldn’t be transactional, but I also want my comfort and pleasure to matter. Sometimes I find myself craving affection and intimacy that I’m not receiving, even though my husband is right beside me.

I wasn’t rejecting him. I simply wasn’t physically ready for penetration and wanted to use lube so it would be comfortable.

AITAH for asking him to wait while I got lubricant? What do you think he meant by saying that he has other ways to sort himself out, and was his reaction reasonable?

UTI or bv/thrush every time after sex

Does anyone else get this? It’s putting a strain on myself and my partners relationship as I feel scared to have sex with him

hi girls!!

i would just really love a genuine best friend tbh!
one where we can just talk about anything and everything with no judgment
has a child around my age and who is around my age so we’re going through the same kind of life stages!
i’ve always wanted that one genuine best friend, where we’re like each others favourite friend, where i don’t have to second guess if they’re closest friend is me.
and one where we’re basically joint at the hip 😅😅
i’ve always somehow been the second choice and backup friend lol
it’s pretty lonely right now ngl, for me and for my daughter who has no friends

i live in wales and i’m 22, daughter is 2

PLS

I need a Stage 5 Clinger best friend. 🤠

Text me about your day. Spam me with memes. Tell me the random thought you had at 2:17 PM. Call me for no reason. Let's bully each other (lovingly), overshare, and have actual conversations instead of sending "lol" every 8 hours.

Where are y'all hiding? 😂
