[quote=Anonymous]I’m sure she is sad about her old friends moving away- particularly her best friend. With acquaintances (which is really most of what you are referring to here) relationships are so shallow by comparison. I’d stop pressuring your wife about neighbors and encourage her to take time to herself, hobbies etc (and let her know you are ok and willing to help her make time for that- taking the kids or paying a sitter etc). She sounds not necessarily depressed but a bit down, understandably. Maybe once she gets a little back in her groove she will be more willing to join in with the social scene. Also there is no reason at all that you can’t socialize without her. Arrange outings based on your own hobbies & with guy friends. Not everything needs to be “family friends”. [/quote]
