[quote=Anonymous]Over 20 years with my husband and various guy friends have been important to me at times. There aren’t any right now.

The closest friends are:
- childhood friend who now lives in another country so we email but haven’t hung out in years. My husband met this friend pretty early on (a year?) and my friend thinking my husband was a good guy and vice versa were important to me. That friend tried to kiss me when we were about 10, but that’s it.

- neighbor in our old (different city) who was a really close friend for a few years. We’d go out and chat about our jobs, we played chess, and he had a disability that made certain errands hard so I’d help with those. On nights my husband was going to be out late he’d sometimes even say “you haven’t seen John for awhile. You should see if he wants to grab dinner.” I don’t know if it makes a difference, but we almost never hung out in each other’s apartments. We’d go run errands and then grab dinner out or hang out in a park etc. He moved when he got married and then we moved cross country and the friendship didn’t sustain itself. I’d be happy if I were to cross paths with him again though.

- a really good work friend whose office was next to mine. I never went to his apartment and he only came to ours when my husband and I had him for dinner sometimes. He was married with a kid, but there was a stretch of time when something happened and his wife had to travel for a bit and they decided the kid should be with her. My husband and I tried to increase how often we had him over. This friend and I would grab a beer after work once a month or so and occasionally did other things like see a show or exhibit our spouses weren’t interested in. We maintained a close friendship for about 12 years, were a bit less close (but still in touch) after I moved, but he passed away.
