Ghosted by mom friends because I’m a single mom? 😢😔

Anonymous because I’m honestly embarrassed to share this. I was recently ghosted by moms I thought I was becoming friends with. They ended up going out with their husbands and leaving me out, and I was told it was because I’m a single mom.

I’m already struggling with motherhood and trying to build friendships, so that honestly hurt. I understand that people have their own lives and relationships, but single moms deserve friendships and inclusion too. Has anyone else experienced this? 🥺

No but it’s definitely more difficult finding common ground with married moms when you’re single. Don’t take it personal; and just find yourself single moms to bond with 🫶

I have never had married or coupled moms openly do this but I have openly told them I’d rather not go do things with them and their SO most of the time. I’d also rather be friends with Single moms or moms that used to be single as they are the ONLY ones who somewhat understand my lifestyle. You never have to hear “I’m basically a single mom” and they tend to make doing everything you do with them easier. It’s tough out here but once you choose to embrace this life, you get better at being able to handle people like this. I’m sorry this happened to you, your feelings are valid. Hugs mama

When my husband and I were facing separation i lost all my mom friends. Making mom friends is actually harder than just making friends

Sorry you went through this, it’s funny you mention this I literally saw a post on this app a while back where the person specifically said they only want to be friends with “happily married women” - to each their own but I do understand how it feels exclusionary and hurtful, I’m also a single parent

I’m starting to experience the same thing as a newly single mum. I thought it was a me issue, but seeing this gives me a sense of relief in a way

It’s been a battle 😩

I thought things would getter when my kid started elementary school. But between getting the kids ready for school/daycare, drop off, pick up, cooking, working etc. and a husband who is unable to help because of 2 hr commute & non-flexible work schedules…. motherhood has never felt this lonely 😢 aaaaah….. 🤯

Sex timeline

Anyone elses husband like dead set on having a schedule for sex? For example my husband doesn't like to go more than 3 days without sex. So like every three days he almost expects sex from me, which is honestly frustrating. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood and then he'll say well then I'll ask again tomorrow and so on. Most of the time it feels like I have a lot of pressure to put out.

What happens to intimacy, affection and sex when parenting takes over?

Am I the only one experiencing this? Im almost 19 months post partum!! My husband I don’t really have sex. We both tired, both feel unmotivated, he prefers being on his computer at night and I am in bed with my child who is still co sleeping. He only comes to bed at 2 am. Most nights I’m asleep. I get why I don’t feel like I want to have sex, but why doesn’t he?

Should I be worried?

Any Other moms/sahms Looking for Genuine Mom Friends? 🥹

Hey moms! 💗 I’m new here & looking to connect with other moms! I’m a SAHM with a 4 & 6 year old & honestly, being a stay-at-home mom can get so isolating & lonely sometimes. 🥹 I don’t have much of a social life outside of being a mom & would love to make some genuine mom friends to talk to, laugh with, hang out with & build real friendships! If you’re in the same boat, let’s connect! 🫶🏽
