FEELING A LITTLE IN LIMBO
I was just curious how many folks out there found themselves wanting to socialize in new circles after they got married. I feel like I am in some weird limbo land right now. Not really wanting to hang out much with our old friends, (going to bars, drinking at most functions, etc.), but not really having anyone new in our life to do cool stuff with. My newly wed, husband and i have been feeling the drift from our old friends for quite some time. We are wanting to start a family and just have fun in a more productive way. My mom, (who is my ultimate best friend) and my mother in law...(who is about the coolest lady I know) both say that the new wave of friends or social circles will come when we have babies. Who else has grown apart from their old friends or is looking for a new social circle to hang out with?
Re: FEELING A LITTLE IN LIMBO
I understand! I have a lot of friends that I don't think will ever move out of mommy and daddy's house!
Our other friends (the one's who have grown up), live too far away. We moved to KY a few months ago, and still don't fit in. I wonder if that will ever happen? I wish we could fiend a few friends out this way, it may make our time down here more enjoyable!
Plus, I don't know that we ever want to have children. Which leads me to believe that we will just be loners, until we move back to Chicago or find a way to "fit in."
P.S. My mom is my best friend too, keep her close!
