[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could have written this word for word. I started dating my H very young (22) a d I think as a result I kind of missed out on the bonding that a lot of women did in their 20s. It's my own fault for not prioritizing it but it is what it is

I'm trying to just make peace with it. I have a great social life and really enjoy the people in it, I try not to focus on what I don't have. I do make considerable effort with my mom friends and I hope that in a decade when our kids are grown, that effort will pay off with friendships that endure. But idk. Sometimes I feel like I could disappear and they might not really notice.

You know, I never thought about it but I bet this is true for me too. I moved away from home for college and then even further for grad school so I always figured that was a big contributor but it’s true, my friends who were single were going on trips with their friends from home and stuff whereas I was prioritizing time off with my h(maybe too much in retrospect). I really miss the closeness I had with a couple women in grad school. I have friendships from work that I consider real friendships (they have been great sources of support for me during a couple rough patches) but we are all SO busy. I don’t think I could be as close to anyone right now but I could definitely do better. It’s just so hard to make a relationship work with a million other commitments.

I have still not made any mom friends. SAHMs want to get together during the day which makes total sense but I’m not available. And many working moms I know don’t even have time for the friendships they already have.[/quote]
