Jealous of couples

hey girl, i’ve experienced similar. unfortunately my sons father abandoned me very early in my pregnancy so i’ve been alone since then. it was so hard for me to see couples on social media and in public happy with a baby, or a pregnant woman with her boyfriend/spouse looking so happy together during my pregnancy. while there isn’t much that can make it better, what helped me was just reminding myself that my turn to be happy like them will come eventually. that might sound corny but i genuinely just believe it will happen for me one day and it gives me peace of mind to know that what’s meant for me will come to me! the same goes for you, you got this ❤️ and just remember too everyone has their own issues, even ppl in relationships. the grass is always greener on the other side

I totally understand. My kids and I broke up in 2022 but stayed living together and doing everything together (acting like we're in a relationship without the title essentially) until I finally left 3 months ago. We were engaged, and we were in a relationship for 8 years before the split and 10 if you include until I left cause like I said we were still together without the title. Now he's not in the picture. Comes around 1-2 a month for no more than 24 hours. Doesn't call or text about our kids. Seeing other couples, especially when they have a family, makes me so sad. Even my own family members. I just try to work on my happiness, but it does get to my head sometimes. It's never easy seeing someone else in a happy relationship and seeing a wonderful family dynamic. This is stuff I'm still trying to believe myself, but one day, we'll have happiness. We'll have our happy ever after.

You’re not alone mama.

@Emily this definitely makes me feel better, thanks so much 💕 I'm sorry that you're dealing with this as well but I'm hoping we both find partners that are great for us and our kids! I'm so focused on wanting another child in a specific timeframe for a good age gap (silly, I know), it's really destroying my mind. Yes so true, things we don't see happening behind the scenes, thank you so much

@De'Ana thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry that this happened to you and your children 😞 I'm hoping we all find someone for ourselves at some point, I agree on your point on working on our own happiness. I try and do it but it's hard sometimes as well

@Brianna hoping you find your forever person as well, patience is a virtue as they say I guess

If you ever want to chat, just message me! This goes for anyone. We can talk to each other about our feelings and give what advice we can. Just be there for each other. We can vent and cry together ❤️ Life is rough. I feel like I am getting knocked down more than ever, but one day, I'll get up, and I know you will, too.

@De'Ana thank you, and I will! I think I'm going to see if anyone in this group is interested in being in a group chat. I really appreciate the advice you gave and showed me that I'm not alone. It's hard being on this app sometimes, I feel like the majority of married women and the lives we lead can be so different from them

Yessss i was saying i need to look inward and stop the jealousy….. my bd is sooo present in our lives and it feels like a mind fuck cause its not romantic!!! And other people are happy as hell . Even expanding their families so quickly and im stuck in this horrible limbo its a punch to the gutt each time someone near me is fully committed and locked in !
