[quote=Anonymous]I totally sympathize with this OP and feel very similarly.
My husband has one friend from college who he sees rarely. I have four friends, one from middle school who lives far away, and three who I made when my eldest was in preschool. None of these people would consider me a best friend as they have close-knit longstanding groups that I am not part of. I have not succeeded in making any friends at my kids elementary.
I hosted many playdates including group playdates, a moms night, volunteered for two chair positions that no one wanted, show up at literally every event, and nothing. Everyone is polite but not interested in getting closer. So I have lots of friendly acquaintances but that's it. 
My mom says I might come across as a snob. I don't know how that could be possible when I am inviting people and engaging them. She said I don't smile enough.
It is very obvious to me that people are interested in making couple/family friends. The women who get welcomed into social groups have super social husbands. Mine is not willing to bro it up with other dads no matter how nice they are. I constantly hear "they are the best family ever! She doesn't talk very much and the kids can be wild but HE is soooo fun" like it's all about the man.[/quote]
