Lost
Hello, I got on here because I really don't have anyone I'm close to. I know I need to talk it's just hard. Life's been tuff lately, I've had post partum depression with my son I gave birth 7 months ago and just don't feel like myself anymore, my relationship just seems to get worse by the day. There is no connection between us, don't get me wrong he is my best friend but lately it's like I don't even feel I exist. I gained alot of weight so I have confidence issues big time an it's taken a tol on our sex life. But to make matters worse my boyfriend does nothing besides work, play video games and gym. I feel I'm not even looked at as his girlfriend but simply just our kid's mom. I get up take care of our kids and by the time my son needs his first nap I'm so sad I just want to lay there with him 😭 I get up feed him, eat myself and let my 5 year old daughter play with my son for a little while and then bedtime again for him. I cook dinner and by then end of the night I'm just done. I don't care to make time for my boyfriend because it's like I don't even exist to him throughout the day. And then he complains Im boring. Nickname " boring booty"
That doesn't help me either it just makes it worse.
I'm fat. Lonely and just truly at my worst. I know I can change some of that but the motivation isn't there.
Just needed to get it off my chest
I feel like you have to vent to him, talk to him how you feel, how you been sad, its the only option, talk to him
I'm sorry about the way you feel right now. I also suggest you let your boyfriend know what your struggles are and also ask for his help. You may also want to consider taking to a therapist.

I am so glad you came here to get all of this off your chest. Being a mom and balancing everyone else's needs and then making time for your self is super super difficult. I totally understand what you are going through and I am so sorry that your bf is not more supportive. One of the great things about this site is that you can come here and post things when you just want to put your feelings in writing OR you can connect with a listener who also has experience in parenting and relationship stress. The nice thing about finding a listener here is that you will feel that you have support and can really have a dialogue when you feel ready. I just want you to know that you are not alone, you have this entire awesome community to offer support.
