Idk i feel so selfish because overall I have a good life. Good job healthy, great kids, ok husband but idk i feel like I've been on auto pilot for years. Im not happy with this life sadly the life alot wish for but idk im blah about it. It's very mediocre in my mental. I've made jokes about running away to my mom but I meant every word. I hate to sound like the grass is greener but idk i rather build my own forest if that makes sense. Idk maybe I'm depressed idk what's wrong with me but im not happy

You are tired. Can you take a few days and a trip with friends alone? What are your own hobbies? What life did you like more? Childfree?

I know this feeling

You have a good life but it doesn’t sound like you’ve found something that gives you purpose, passion, goals, OUTSIDE of motherhood. New years is coming up- make yourself a bucket/goals list like I do for myself every year. What do you want to do for YOU? That helps you thrive and grow as a woman, as a person, as you- not Mum wife daughter sister. YOU. Is there something you used to do that you wanna continue? Or start something new? Are you envious of others that they can do something well? I turned that envy into motivation and inspiration. I envied girls that could dance salsa well. And for years I was going to Latin events and festivals just enjoying the vibe and music and food but I wished I could dance. And I took up dance 4yrs ago and that has rocketed my life in so many ways, also gave me more confidence. We are all on autopilot until we find something that we can immerse ourselves into in our free time. Whatever hobby you get into- you will make friends there I promise.

Unfortunately I don't have any advice for you but I know how you feel. I'm 41 with 3 kids. My marriage just ended. I have bipolar 2, adhd, ocd, ptsd. I'm a lot to handle. I can be very draining. I've made a lot of bad choices that's caused my marriage to end. They've also severed my relationship with my kids. I'm working on trying to rebuild my relationship with my kids but unfortunately it's too late to rebuild it with my husband. I feel lost. I feel stuck. I've tried therapy and medication to help my mood, impulsively. It helps some but it's not a cure. I want to change. I hate acting and feeling this way. I sometimes feel like I am incapable of changing. It's like I know that I'm spiraling but I can't stop it. I have no idea where to go and what to do from here.
I’ve been on here for a couple weeks now, haven’t made a single friend. I’ve talked to a couple other moms but either been ghosted or don’t get passed a how are you. Messaged several ads to join group chats, no one responds? Did this app fall off or what?

The past few days have been very weird for me. My partner of almost 10 years came to me and told me that in the first 3 years of our relationship (before we had our son) he slept with three different women, two of which I also know one of them being his ex where he had sex with her twice. Before he told me about this, there was another instance where he kissed another woman that, again, we both knew but he told me about that almost right away and this was last year.
When he told me this I stayed quiet and honestly I just felt numb and for the past few days we've just spoken about it. I haven't gotten angry. I haven't shouted at him or screamed at him. We've almost acted as if everything is normal and it's kind of driving me insane a little bit. I haven't been able to cry about this every time I think about it, but I think it's mostly because I just can't imagine it. Our whole relationship he has told me that I've been the only one he has had sex with and it was a lie.
I refuse to talk to any of my friends or family about this because I don't want them to know what's going on and I don't want to hear their advice. I also don't want anyone looking at him any differently because of this. I don't know if it's just my brain not letting me process it all at once because it's just too much to take or if I've just given up and emotionally surrendered.
We have one son together who is 3. I am the main one who looks after him and does everything and I don't want to have a breakdown in front of him if it comes to a point where it all just comes out at once.
How does a person deal with this? What do I do? I'm so numb it's weird

How are we going about our days? Especially with a partner who has to work long hours :( I love bonding with bubba, but after some time during the day it gets too much and there isn’t really much to do. Any ideas on how to make the most of the day with a little baby are welcomed
