Do y'all ever feel this way??? DH and I are at a point in our lives where I think that we would like to be surrounded by more couple friends and do activities with other couples. I think that it will strengthen our relationship to see other healthy married couples. This is not to say that we are going to do away with our single friends, because I think the balance is necessary, but that's just it...we need balance. Most of our friends are single. Also, our married friends have kids, so we can't really relate to them on that level either, 'cause all they want to do is talk about their kids or they can't hang out with us because they're doing something with their kids.
So, I think that we need new friends. Well, just add on to the friends we have. And it's so hard to meet new people when you're older. It's not like when you're kids and you just become best friends with the kid playing in the sandbox next to you. See, DH went to college here and he's from NC so most of his friends are still here or are within driving distance, and see I've moved around a bit since college and my friends are like all over the place, so it's even harder for me because I don't really have anyone here. But even with his friends, I don't want to say that he's outgrown them but.......he has. LOL
He can make new friends in a heartbeat though. I think it's just easier for guys to make new friends. I don't know why, but it just seems that way. So, I guess I need to step it up. But where do you go to meet new people? I go to work and home, that's pretty much it. And it's so hard to maintain genuine friendships with the people that you work with sometimes. Especially the folks I work with. You always have to watch your back.
So, is there anyone out there that feel my pain?
