Sad I can’t tell my mum

How to navigate the lonely! I’m a FTM, my partner is amazing, the dog definitely knows what’s up (she is GLUED to me).

I’d love to tell my mum and have her support but, sadly, I can’t trust her. She told my partner and I so many intimidate details about my SILs pregnancy that SIL did not disclose to us herself, told her friends loads of things, really just a gossip. She’s well meaning but she just has zero filter!

My partner and I had to shush her a few times during secret spilling because we didn’t think it was right for us to know details about my brother and his wife they didn’t want to tell us themselves. They eventually did, but we should have found out on their timeline.

So now I’m pregnant! And I’m buzzing! And I want comfort in case it doesn’t stick! And I want to cuddle my mum! But she’ll tell her friends and my siblings and her friends are the parents of my friends and you bet she’d out me to half my social circle.

I’m 31 and my partner is 29 and I feel… sad about it. Like I’m missing out on really prime bonding. But my sweet goofy mother is just… not trustable 🥺
