[quote=Anonymous]I agree with 20:18; this is not good but possibly fixable, OP!

My DH has (guy) two friends from elementary school, a good friend from law school, his brother...those friends are in other cities so he keeps up by playing computer games with them(where you are chatting at the same time).  He has a couple of guy aquaintences at the office but that's lunchtime only.

Really, where he gets the in-person contact is with other dads--classmates' dads from school, or dads in our kids' sports.  The sports friends picks up as they get older, but you should know some of the dads in their classes by now.  It only takes one.  You would get to know them first not just you+he, but you and your kid + him and his kid (playdate).  Your kids are at a great age for this because playdates at this age are still supervised.

I'd work it from that angle, before they get old enough that one parent only supervises, and then when even older the playdates become "hangouts" where one kid comes over and they might walk to town or something.

Another option is the whole family comes over, but not sure if that's do-able given the dynamics you've described.  But your best bet is to find guys through your family members.[/quote]
