Feeling isolated

[ftm79507]

How do you girls make mum friends, I feel so isolated 😫I live about 4 hours away from family and friends with my partner, he works 24/7 and goes out for drinks and fancy hotels and sees his friends all the time and doesn’t get back till 11pm-12pm at night, we only get one family day at week and he never wants to do anything. I’m a stay at home mum, I just feel so lonely and isolated, I see all my friends from where I use to live having a great time 😫 there’s no many baby groups around here either😔x

I'm really sorry but that sounds like a really crap set up at home. Very unbalanced and lonely, in fact it sounds like your DP has the life of riley facilitated by you while you get... what do you get?

If you are happy with the status quo you could maybe try and start a group or join a group that's just for you and not M&B? Online stuff? Carve out some time to make friends locally via a hobby?

Have a think about what you want your relationship to look like, it's probably not matching up to what your lived reality is. So, talk to your DP (if you haven't already bashed your head off that wall multiple times of course), if he changes and helps, great! If not, it's time to start planning a happier, more fulfilled life without the time/joy vacuum that is the DP. You get a PT job, save, make plans and move closer to your family & friends.

I wouldn’t use them personally but there are apps for making friends

Why are you in this situation.

You aren't married.

Pack up and go home.

Why would you sign up forvsuch a miserable life.

Say nothing pack up and go home.
