Re: friends question

  • about once a week, and no it hasn't changed since getting married.  Though I will say I only have one really close friend (who, unfortunately, is probably moving away) and the others I see sporadically (also hasn't changed since getting married)
  • It's probably on average once a month, and that is an increase since getting married because of how much time we were spending out of town to plan the wedding.  I've also just gone from working 70 hours a week to 40 hours a week, so I have a feeling that is going to increase some more :)  All my friends and I typically have weirdly full/sporadic schedules though, so we keep up via text/email/facebook, and then make sure we get out for a lunch/dinner date at least once a month.
  • It has been quite a while since I saw my close friends on a regular basis. I believe it was slowed even before I got married. Now that I have a baby. I have reached out to several of them on numerous occasions about getting together but they never seem to have time to do it. So lately I feel like I don't have any close friends anymore.

  • We don't have one set group of close friends but we would typically see at least one group per weekend. That slowed a lot after my surgery and did not really pick up again. Is it wrong that I wish I cared more? =)

  • I would say that I see my closest friends about twice a month.  It's about the same since getting married.  We usually meet up for HH, to see a movie, to go shopping, or hang out at one of our homes.

  • Not very often!  I have some friends that I work with, so I see them everyday.  But, probably my two closest friends live in Seattle and north of Seattle and I live near Tacoma.  We're all married and busy and it's really hard to find the time to hang out.

  • I don't even know who I'd consider my closest friends anymore anyway. So, I guess I'd say about once every 2 months. Problem is quite a few of our friends had babies so we see them a lot less because of that and two others moved out of state.

  • About every 2 weeks. With a baby it's been a lot harder to just go out and do stuff. Before that it was definitely weekly.

  • how often do you see your closest friends that live in your state/area?
    it used to be 5-6x's a week...since i got KTFU and h's cousin was in town, that seriously diminished to 1-2x's a week. i think it's close to 2x's a week for a good steady average now.

    has it changed since being married?
    i would say we're a serious case of SS. h and i both lived with our parents until we got married, so we pretty much never saw our friends (very often) before we got married....unless we were going out and spending money! since we got a place on our own, i cook a lot more often so having friends over is inexpensive and fun.

    i *would* say though that we don't see our friends nearly as much since KTFU, though.
