[quote=Anonymous]My husband has no friends.  Well, really just one that he occasionally talks on the phone to and very rarely sees.  If it wasn't for my friends and acquaintances we would not have any social life.

I noticed that it runs in his family.  His father spend his years by working and coming home to sit by himself in front of the TV. His sisters and brother don't have friends outside of work.  I noticed that many people live like that actually.

His mom is very lonely. She volunteers a lot, sings in a church chorus, but yet she doesn't have any friends.    She gets resentful that we don't see her more often.  The rest of the family moved far away from her and come up for holidays.  We live the closest, but still pretty far away from her, and are busy with our life.  We try to see her at least once a week, but she doesn't make any effort herself.  She never initiates coming to our house.  She just sits at home and lets the resentment build up.

So in general, do you think it's our job to fill this hole in her life?  And why don't people acquire close friends?[/quote]
