Can’t help but feel alone

My partner is really supportive during this pregnancy however I can’t help but feel really alone, he’s out often socialising and on nights out etc and I’m just stuck at home on my own. None of my friends are at the same point in their lives as me so I don’t get invited out etc. does anyone have any advice on how to cope with this. Trying so hard not to get upset with my partner but just feel like all his free time is taken up with his mates/work lot and I’m just at home feeling like pants

I’m feeling very lonely too, but that’s because I’m doing this by myself & my circle is very small. Happy to have a chat. My advice would be to try and speak to him about it & let him know how you’re feeling. Some men need a bit of a nudge/for things to be spelt out 😅 (sometimes that doesn’t even work!) x

It’s so hard because obviously his life hasn’t changed at all yet! Whereas mine is so different already, just feel like he doesn’t understand and don’t want to seem like a nag lol x

I think it’s very different for women and men. As soon as we find out we’re pregnant we’re immediately connected physically and emotionally…it’s all we think about (at least that’s what it’s like for me 😂). It’s obviously not the case for all men, but I suspect the connection doesn’t come properly until baby arrives for most. You’re not a nag for telling him how you feel, it’s not healthy for you or baby to bottle it all up x

I feel the same as you, my partner is wonderful & he’s so patient with me and looks after me but when I have weekends off work he’s always got plans with his massive group of friends! I have like 2 close friends and it takes us months to get anything in the diary where we can all meet up. It does feel so lonely sometimes. But I’m telling myself as well that this is my time to rest and get ready for baby to be here! Try to keep myself busy with things I enjoy like reading, crocheting and watching TV. It can be boring sometimes but it usually helps. Sorry I don’t have any more suggestions just wanted to relate ❤️
