Relationships are hard work

I tend not to keep friends because of this (too much drama) but I do keep family close.

Me and my partner are finding it hard at the moment. Don’t get me wrong we aren’t breaking up or anything. It’s just not always roses. There are ups and downs.

I’m glad you have friends that’ positive. For me it’s easier to have a partner. We are all different.

Relationships are so hard for me that I really only have relationships with my dad and stepmom and sometimes I talk to my grandmas when they call me.

I have difficulties with relationships too.

May I have forever friends.

There are some bad people who are popular.
Pedophiles with heaps of friends being socialites when they touched their own child but they are loved unconditionally by their child but their child is not their child because their child found a parent for them who loves them so much more and values them so much more.
Chose someone else as roll because that other person loved them more.

Relationship can be difficult and complicated but you can have trauma bond and love unconditionally because they were funny sometimes and made you laugh sometimes and remembered your birthday and there were nice moments too it wasn’t all unbearable.
There is real love I promise because I’m a good person and I’m genuine.

Yes its a lot of give and take, but i always get back to the point why i am partnered in the first place. She is so cute :heart_eyes:.

I have people I go out with on occasion, or on holiday but I wouldn’t consider them my friends… I agree too much drama…

Sorry you guys are having a harder time now. I don’t know if this is comforting or not, but that’s pretty common after you have kids. Mr. Star and I noticed that.

For us, it was because we are both pretty independent people, but as parents we needed to rely on each other. I couldn’t go hang out without kids unless he stayed home with them. Neither of us were getting enough sleep, and we had to take turns being the one to sleep through the night. People who had promised to help us babysit never actually followed through. Neither of us have reliable family nearby. We didn’t have any time alone together.

It did get better, eventually. We started being able to sleep, because the kids were able to stay safe unsupervised. We started getting nights alone because Starlet started doing sleepovers. We did some exercises to practice communicating.

Thanks @Ninjastar we don’t get the quality time together anymore like we used to. It’s constant on the go all the time.

It does get better when the kid(s) can be safe alone. Not really a help now, I know, but maybe it’s hope.
