Hi! I just found out that im about 7 weeks pregnant with baby 2. Im excited but also terrifiedš are any other mums in the same boat? Chasing around an almost 2 year old while also exhausted from pregnancy already. I don't know i guess I feel pretty alone this time around. Im the only person in my friend group that has a little, and now I'll have two. I feel like it's more of a reason for them not to invite me to things....

Weāre going to start trying for baby #2 next month and Iām excited but terrified too!! So I feel you girl! Youāre not alone š©·

We started trying around 13 months after our 1st. It was⦠terrifying. But less so than 3. The transition from 0-1 was hard. 1-2 was hard, but manageable. 2-3? Pretty alright, Iād do it again, if I wanted. š

100% with you Iām pretty scared. Iām 14

Honestly just looking for a best friend š«¶ Iāve been having such a hard time making friends lately, and I just want someone I can talk to about literally anything, send random updates to, laugh with, and actually keep in touch with. Even if weāre long distance, I donāt care š No forcing it, just a genuine friendship thatās consistent.

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 wasnāt aroused or wet enough. I asked him to wait so I could get some lubricant because I didnāt want penetration to hurt.
He immediately became angry, got dressed without saying much and told me, āNot even a hoe has ever done that.ā As he was putting on his clothes, he also said, āDonāt worry, I have plenty of ways to sort myself out.ā Iām 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 isnāt 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 donāt feel like I receive much pleasure, affection or effort in return. I understand that intimacy shouldnāt be transactional, but I also want my comfort and pleasure to matter. Sometimes I find myself craving affection and intimacy that Iām not receiving, even though my husband is right beside me.
I wasnāt rejecting him. I simply wasnāt 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?

I need a Stage 5 Clinger best friend. š¤
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? š

I am so horny when my bf is at work. We have sex almost every night, but while he's at work, I'm just tingly almost the whole day š

My daughter is 10 months old and I havenāt found a job yet. Iām with her all day and her dad works 6 days a week and is out the house 13/14 hours and I donāt live near any family. My friends are all in their early 20s and have their own thing going on and donāt quite understand the mum life so itās hard to meet any friends more than once a week. Idk Iām just feeling so isolated and itās summer holidays so no baby groups on and Iām just bored of being at home all day. I go on dog walks every day but being this alone is starting to really ramp up my anxiety. Anyone else feel the same? Think I just want to know Iām not alone in this.
