Wow, I used to have a super social life with super hey time buddies. Its sad that we graduated and have jobs of our own now. I have been deprived of this whats the word again? SoCIAL LIFE...since I work on a night shift basis. We seldom get in touch and I am only available on Sundays. what a life I cant even go to church regularly plus not to discount the afct that ive been single since 3 years ago..nah nah nah... but yeah, Monday will be a holiday so my friends here I am again...shoot me! we are gonna part hard

My social life used to be more exciting. I found that once you get out of school and start working and everyone grows up, you keep very few of those friends, and lose many you thought were friends. Currently, I have maybe 3 friends I see fairly regularily, once a week maybe. And then I spend time with my husband, my mom, my dad, and the rest is spent alone (or with husband) My husband goes out himself at least once a week. Sometimes I go with him, sometimes I dont. And I go out usually once a week with out him, even if its just with my mom. And then my husband and I try to go out once or twice a week together, either for dinner, or movie or shopping or whatever, even just going to a friends place for a couple hours.

We have our main friends we see almost weekly, either they visit, or we visit them. As far as partying and going to the bar, MAYBE once a month, usually just for someones birthday though.

Yeah my social life is somewhat boring. All we do is "hang out" chat, have a drink or 2, watch a movie, shop, stuff like that. Which I enjoy, but its pretty much ALL we do. I would like to find some interests I could share with my friends, not just individual hobbies. But I find it hard to make NEW friends. I dont know what to talk about. Especially at work. We tend to talk ABOUT work AT work and thats it.

I duno... Im pretty boring lol

I�m a family guy. My wife dislike I spend my time with my buddies.
Our social life is some family party and family travel and picnic with family members or friends. Nearly every weekend we go picnic here or cities around.

Last time I have spent with my buddies refer to two years ago. That was a one-day trip to mountains; we had nice and memorable time together and in the night I back home with happiness.
My wife was too angry about my feeling, she told, �it�s shameful for a man to enjoy with friends whereas he�s married�
My friends some times criticize and satirize me for that but I know, they haven�t better situation than me, just one of them that is single still, anxiously I waiting to see his behavior after marriage. <img src="/images/graemlins/computer.gif" alt="" />

I can very well relate

Not much. but whenever i get time, I call all of my friends and make a plan for gettogther party.

It was many years ago when my best friend visited me a few minutes while driving from a vacation with her parents, they went camping in New Brunswick which was less than one hour away back then and she asked dad if Ste-Florence was near and he said that they would drive pass it. I almost fainted when I opened the door to see her. She was supposed to email me the picture her mom took of us which she never did. Then we talked on the phone a few times a few years later and we talked a few more times on the internet. After that house was set on fire she immediately answered the email I sent to everyone and that was the last time I heard from her. Before that short visit I have to go back a few more years back for me to have been with a friend. We were very close until she moved to Ottawa and we stayed very close for about two years after she moved but at least when we became to drift apart we kept in touch with emails. I cannot write her because I do not remember her entire address and I asked her repeatedly by email to sent it to me and she never did.

It's been almost 3 weeks So busy during the holidays I didn't think about it. Now I feel lonely.

Building a network of local friends is just SO so important. Study after study shows that.

It's important to get out of the house and meet local people. Join a local writing group. A local photography group. A local church. Whatever you're interested in.

Those social networks reduce stress, get you better sleep, better health, and improve life in countless other ways.

Take that step!
