I just want someone to tell me they love me

I have a 1 yo boy and he's great. I'm still breastfeeding him though he loves eating and is getting better at it. His dad and I aren't together but live very close and due to my son being breastfed and having contact naps/nursing, we tend to spend time all together. I'm sick of being single, I'm not over him and he's always there. I just hate this situation. He is a really great guy and an awesome dad. I just crave hugs from an adult person. I want someone to kiss my forehead. I want someone to tell me they love me. My son's dad and I both tend to keep a small circle, and I've lost friends through pregnancy etc. my family are in a different country and baby daddy's family don't like me much and never accepted me when we were together. After other breakups in the past I could go off and enjoy my own company and go no contact, and do things that responsible mothers can't. I feel crazy and lonely. The type of lonely where you're not actually alone, in fact you're barely ever alone. I dread that I'll never get over him and even if I do I'm dreading that he's always gonna be a part of my life, cockblocking the potential next guy. Just needed to get that off my chest.

You need to love yourself first 💕

@Lotus 🪷 why would you assume that I don't love myself?

Get yourself out there, and when the life questions come up tell the truth. If they can't respect the Father of your little boy is in the picture then they don't deserve you or your son for that matter!

I think when they said you need to love yourself first they meant do what's best for you and focus on yourself so you are able to get over your ex and move on to better things ❤️

@Del Thanks. I just really hate that platitude which assumes that I don't love myself. I'm sick of seeing it online and hearing it in conversation. Humans are social creatures. I do so many things in the name of self love and still I crave affectionate, compassionate care and love from others. In the past 3 years I can't recall anyone telling me they love me. In the past year I can count the hugs I've had on one hand. Not saying it's anyone else's fault I'm just venting as I said in my original post. I don't want pity but I sure as hell don't need my feelings to be dismissed due to the (incorrect) assumption that I don't love myself. In my original post, I stated that we live really close etc. That any previous breakup I could go away and go no contact but now I can't. It's pretty easy to just spew out "love yourself first" when you don't take on board what I've already said.

That's completely valid of course, we definitely are very social and loneliness is actually terrible for people! Its one of the worse things to feel 😭 you deserve love!!
