[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I guess I'm indulging in a pity party somewhat.  My husband points out that I have several "mom" friends whom I could ask to do a favor (watch my kids, give them a ride, etc.), and whom I meet perhaps a couple of times a year for lunch.  They're lovely people, but I get the sense that it's not going to go much further than that.  I very much miss having a good friend whom I can chat with frequently and discuss more personal things rather than kids' school activities.  My husband always has been the type to retreat to his study for most of his free time, and it's only gotten worse as he gets older.  If the kids are gone at camp or events, [b]I have realized that I can go several days without speaking more than a sentence or two to another person. [/b] My husband says I brought this upon myself by not making more of an effort.  There should be a dating service or something for people who want to make friends.  [/quote]

This is...bizarre.

Get a job, OP, or find a volunteer gig. [/quote]
