So 4 years ago we opted to move to Cardiff to be closer to my Husband's family and our friends here. Before we moved i found out i was pregnant and some of my friends who lived here seemed super excited.
Since my son was born the friends we have are no longer around. There were 5 girls in the group Including me and 4 of them when for drinks and posted it on social media. My MH wasnt the best so i removed them all as it was just depressing me to be home all day and night with just my son and no adult company. I tried to reach out but the next lot of drinks we arranged people slowly dropped out for whatever reason. Then the pandemic hit so basically for 2 years it was just my son and me. My husbands family cancel plans if my son has the slightest cough or cold (he is in Nursery so its rife) they hardly see him. I want to move back home (to London) but we are mortgage free here so my husband is reluctant but im miserable. He has never needed a lot of friends but i have always had a strong group of mates im really struggling. My best friend lives in London and we facetime but its not the same. I have a job i hate and as much as I've tried to make new mum friends its just not happening. Ive never had a night off especially the last two weeks my sons been ill, my husband just assumes ill be the one to take time off to look after him my job pays more and i think he needs to put the family first and help more. Am i being selfish and do i just need to suck it up?
