To regret this move

[sugersweet]

So I moved 560miles in January this year to be with my partner and I'm starting to feel like I regret the move.. before I moved his friends seemed to be so buzzed about me coming over, said we'd do all this stuff together so I wouldn't feel awkward and stuff and I've literally done nothing with nobody since I moved here, I constantly stay in the house with my daughter as I still don't know my way around anywhere other than the town which is literally a 5 minuet walk, she's starting nursery next week so it's going to be even worse, she's not in full time until October, my partner works full time so we when he's working I'm gonna be home by myself,I'm gonna start looking for work when my dd is in nursery full time in October, I'm just starting to feel like I'm by myself all the time

Could you volunteer or do something so you do not have too much free time and meet more people?

It might get easier once she is at nursery. Be brave and talk to the mums, ask them if they want to grab a coffee etc.

It's hard settling into a new place but you have to be proactive. Ask his friends to do something with you instead of waiting to be invited.

Get a map and get you barings. Make it an adventure to explore the next town over or find a local landmark etc. If you sit at home everyday you're going to feel isolated. You're the one with the power to change that though.

Good luck!

Can you meet up with some local mums group? Make your own friends and you won't feel so reliant on him. Go out and explore your new area, go and have a coffee somewhere and suss it out.

I've asked a few times if they wanna do something with the kids and I get shut down, I feel so awkward when me and my partner meet up with all of them I've honestly asked them a few times to do stuff with than but if it's not a night out they don't wanna know
