Managing loneliness

I am a FTM and feel so lonely. The only people around my area are my in-laws and my husband works very long hours (only see him when we sleep) so I feel like I’m only communicating with a baby and would do anything for some company. All of my support network lives far away and my in-laws I’d rather keep a distance from. Did anybody else struggle with loneliness after having a baby? The constant battle with housework, the need for a proper adult conversation or a drink with someone, all the days feeling like they mesh into one doing the same routine with your baby everyday? I love my baby so much but I miss my old life 😔

It was difficult for me but then I befriended some lovely ladies on Peanut and we are each others support system now. I’ve been on peanut since my first baby in 2022

Are you going to any baby classes? I have found so many new mummy friends by doing classes and talking to others.

I know the feelings ( you are not alone 😊)cz l feel the same .l am looking to start baby classes around my area so l can meet mothers to chat with and have a coffee sometimes.
