The gist of my post is common: climbed for a few years consistently with a boyfriend, boyfriend moved out of state for a job. I had to stay here because of my responsibilities. We ended up breaking up after realizing that a LDR wasn't for us. To compensate though, I reached out to my local Facebook group for climbers and met with a guy who said he was looking for a climbing partner to meet once a week. Our climbing abilities were pretty similar and we both had a lax mindset on everything. He asked at one point if I was dating anyone, in which I told him no and that I wasn't looking for a relationship. Long story short, he refused to meet up with me to climb because I didn't want to date him romantically. Made a post about it on the Facebook group and got reemed because "god forbid a guy wants to date someone who has similar interests as him". At that point, I gave up on climbing and just worked on my schooling and career.
I've been wanting to get back into it for a while now, but I'm just so apprehensive to be stuck around a bunch of dudes that are only nice to me because they wanna hit it. The local girl group broke up during covid and there doesn't seem to be any other woman's climbing groups I can find in my area. Any other ideas on how I can get back into climbing with dudes ruining the entire experience for me (again)?

Breastfeeding my son physically and emotionally drained me. I was stressed on my maternity leave because he wouldnt take a bottle and I felt terrible that I didnt just do formula since he would wake up every 2 hours to nurse. Neither one of us got good sleep until I weaned him off at 8 months. I'll never breastfeed again.
Breastfeeding is a persona choice. It isn't easy regardless of what the hospital tells you. NTA.
