Married with girlfriends
Hi everyone,
I'm happily married and my husband and I have a great relationship. The problem is, that since we've been together (7 years), I haven't had very many girlfriends. This is absolutely my fault, because I allowed my husband to be the centre of my social circle and lost friends over the years. I do have two girlfriends, but they are married and have children so they don't really have extra time to be social.
My husband, on the other hand, is very social and has plenty of guy friends. He does include me with his friends, but it would be nice to have my own friends (especially girls that don't just talk sports lol).
Does anyone have any advice on making new friends?
Thanks,
J
Re: Married with girlfriends
What are you interested in?
What I suggest: volunteering for a good cause, political clubs, take an adult school class, sign up for lessons (tennis, martial arts, anything co-ed where you learn in a group).
As an adult, most of the friends I have made are through Church. If you are at all into religion, consider looking into joining one.
What about your H's friends wives/girlfriends/SO's? Maybe one night when the boys get together, you girls could gather as well, at a different place. It might be awkward at first, but I bet the guys would like it.
Do you or H have any interest in sports? I made a bunch of female friends when I would go to the local adult sporting league events. My BFF's guy played on a team, and i just went to watch some baseball and drink some beer. I ended up with a couple of good friends out of that.
Also, with spring coming up, maybe you and your H could invite a neighborhood couple over for dinner. Try that with a couple of different neighbors and maybe you'll strike gold.
Good luck!

If you go to a gym, look into fitness classes - it's a great way to meet people AND get healthy!
I second also asking co-workers if they'd like to hang out.
