Some days are harder than others

I think my husband has lost all attraction to me at this point. I can’t remember the last time he touched me, or looked at me like he wanted me. I have no friends left. I have no real career, and yes I devoted 4 years to being a stay at home mom… but I’m not even a great homemaker either.

I feel I have nothing to offer, and I feel very lonely.

Yes this post is pitiful. 🙄

To me it kinda sounds like you are feeling a bit unfulfilled right now. What do YOU like to do? I think you should go indulge in that for a bit you deserve to do the things that you want to do not just living for other people in an auto pilot

Do you want to start in a new career? You should Make small steps and pursue that if that’s what you want 🙂

We all beat ourselves up over being homemakers lol honestly all you can do is reassure yourself you’re doing the best you can and let the anxiety go

It’s hard to make friends but put yourself out there more. You will meet people. Class is always a good way to meet people (piano, ballet, swimming, sports, community college) are all good ways to meet people. Maybe get the kids into more stuff and you can befriend some moms you have something in common with. There’s even apps where you can meet friends like women or fellow moms just to be friends (if you feel safe doing that)

I hope you feel better and have a great day 🫂

@DeluxedEdition yes I don’t really live for myself at this point

I have plenty of hobbies, but I do those ALONE as well

I’d love to take a class or go back to school or get involved with something… my car is still fucked though and I don’t make much money
