Are there any females out there who only have their spouses as their only friend?

Thats the situation Im in now. Im 29 8 months pregnant and dont talk to my friends anymore. They seem to always give off negative energy I just had to get away from that. It seems like my fiance is my only friend and sometimes I would like female company but being with him is great also. Im moving to Miami next week and hopefully after this birth I would be able to make new friends. Is anyone else going throught the same thing? It seems like Im the only person and how hard is it to make friends when your an adult?

sometimes we all go through changes. meet new folks you have something in common with.

My ex only had one friend - me.
When we split up he found himself a new gf, again his only friend.

It is harder to make new friends when an adult as you run into existing network. However having a child and participating in school and other kiddy activities may help At least the people you will meet are at the same stage in life.
As for your friends that you do not with to see anymore - get down to reality will ya! You positively sound snooty about having a man and being pregnant! Seriously you show no respect to their choices, why would they want to be friends with you? As if you are better then them. So change the friendship don't discard it. You may need them one day.

Hi Mia...

I am sure you will make new friends once the bub is born and you mix with some other new mum's and get out and have lunch, coffee together.

I have a great friend whom I met at school when I was 13 and we are still close many decades later. When she got married, we drifted a little (but still kept in touch by writing letters) and I remember at the time some of her other friends had little contact so I suspected it was her husband. However, many years later we were close again, in fact it was not her husband..it was her placing priority on their relationship.

So the point I am getting at is whilst you will meet other new mums...try and not cut off old friends completely if you really value their friendship, even if you just correspond with them once every couple of months...leave communication still open. From experience, this negative energy that you feel they give off now, will go away as they will grow and mature and get on with their lives and have children. Clubbing and living the night life dies down over time as it is just temp and I suspect they are still interested as they don't have a serious partner.

Anyway, all the best with the baby...not long to go.

Take care.

Yup, I'm in the same situation. I have two friends who I only talk to by email but I don't feel comfortable talking to them about my life or how I feel. They are single, I feel that my man is my only friend who I can tell anything. He don't believe me when I tell him he's my only friend.

My boyfriend and I have several mutual friends that we hang out with, but we each have our own little group of friends that don't mix. Josh is great and I love him but he isn't a very good listener about certain stuff so that is what my bf Chelsea is for!


Harry
I'm the same way. If I don't feel right being around negative energies, i'd just assume to stay home and be with my husband. And , just associate with my children,their spouses,and grandchildren.Once you have little ones it's harder at first to make friends because your so busy or too tired from staying up at nights with babies. Been there,done that. Good Luck

Yes,,,,my husband is my only true friend.....he is my best friend.

In the area where we live, a woman has to be overweight, ugly, stupid, and have NO personality to fit in and be accepted, It is a true fact. What do you want from southern mountain people??? LOL

I do not need any other friend. I can tell my husband my deepest secrets and I trust him with my heart and life.

I think that is very common once we are off an married and taking care of children. If you can, plan a three day retreat at a church somewhere in the near future (for women only) or some other type. maybe take an evening or weekend class or a gym night where you may meet a potential friend in a similar boat. There is nothing like a long talk with a good friend (aside from your husband), it truly does wonders for the soul. Don't be afraid to take the initiative and ask for a phone number or lunch date, etc.

I was in a similar situation before I got married but... after a little while I made new friends who had more in common with me. Don't try to be friends with people who aren't good for you, wait it out and find some friends that are right for you.It's good that you and your spouse are close. :)

well. in my personal opinion, it just depend on how you carry yourself. different people may think and behave differently. you are starting a family, i think you are just focusing yourself to something new that you may find more important (like caring for the unborn baby instead of going to the club with your friends). i may understand (just my opinion), if you don`t contact and go out with your friends anymore, communications may die down. for example, i used to have good friends from other countries and when i move to the US, the distance keeps us away from talking everyday and get to experience each others` company. but as i told you, it really depends on how you carry yourself.

Yes i agree with the other answer it sux at time, but I will talk to you lol

I am 18 and recently got married and moved (he's in the air force) and I feel the same way. All of my old friends are still young and partying and I'm just not into that and it's hard to make new friends when you are at a different place. I love that my husband is my best friend though and we get along great. I am a very introverted person and don't really like being around other people, so I rarely even attempt to make friends. It would be really hard though for someone who lies being surrounded by people and doing things all the time. The best advice I can give is not to be shy. If you meet someone and wanna hang out, then you need to ask them if they want to do something with you. Good luck!

Your spouse should be your best friend, I would call that a healthy relationship, I wouldn't worry about it!
answer mine please because it sounds like you've figured it out.

I am in the same situation but my baby is now almost 5 months old already! our "friends" didnt understand anything and were mean and rude to us after the baby came so now it is just me him and the little one


it's just me
It's good that you got away from negative people. I'd rather have no friends than have ppl like that. But it's not healthy not to have any outside friends. Of course, there are seasons. When hubby and I first moved to our current home I didn't know anyone so of course it was just us. But now we're growing a nice pack of friends little by little.

And once your baby is born you'll start to meet lots of people in whatever activities you take him/her to. And you'll start to arrange play dates and it will go on from there. Don't worry.

(Friendly advice; mom to mom) I suggest that you only try and arrange play dates w/moms who you consider safe to leave ur kid with b/c there will come a time when your kid is invited over but not you.

Yes, I am in the same exact situation as you are. I am 37 years old and have been married for almost 5 years and he is my best friend, my only friend. I never "kept" alot of girl friends, always seemed like too much drama, but soon after getting married, we all went our own ways it seems and I had to break it off with my best friend as we just didn't share the same values in life anymore. I would love to have a female friend to talk to on the pone and hang out with once in awhile but as an adult, it seems impossible to meet anyone. You will have more luck though with just having a baby. You can enroll into some type of mommy and me classes and once the baby starts school, you may be able to start a few relationships with your babys friends. Good luck!

If your friends have abandoned your because of you bf, or your bf is the cause of you not keeping up with your friends, you are in serious trouble. Controlling men use this as a way to control their gfs. As long as you have no friend to be there for you, it is easier for him to make you think that you are not worthy, and that he is doing a favor by staying with you. Be very careful he is not trying to isolate you from your family also.

Always have a life of your own with your friends and family, just in case things do not work out. That way you have some sort of support behind you. Believe me, it will keep you from making a lot of mistakes, and when you need help, they will be there for you.

What if your bf passed away tomorrow? Who would be there for you? What if he beat you up? Who would be there for you? What if you need help with the baby? Who will help you? Who will be there to babysit, to comfort you, to discuss your problems concerning your bf , to send you money for a bus ticket home, if he treats you badly? Never be without your family or friends! Never leave town without a nest egg set aside, in case of emergencies. Never tell him about your nest egg!!!

I do hope he's not controlling your contacts in any way 'she doesn't want to go out anymore,she'd rather be alone,etc.' some guys will do this sort of thing to isolate women. Make contact with other mums when you move.

no

I am going through the same thing, it is really hard to connect with people after having kids or even pregnant, especially when they do not have any. I totally agree on the negatie energy thing. Maybe try going to parenting classes to meet other pregnant women or after the bab is born do play groups when the baby is bigger.

Good luck & believe me, you are not alone :)

heyy...even though i am not married or pregnant right now..i understand exactly what you're going through. Ever since my boyfriend and I got together, all my contact with my friends from high school and college is completely gone. I only have a few friends that I am close to and I do receive some negative vibes. It seems like he is the only person I have and i feel like the only reason why i feel that way is because he is my comfort zone..and i am scared to step out. You should have an easier time meeting new people since youre moving to a different place where you can start all over. so enjoy your family to be and your new home and hopefully new friendships! you'll need a girls night out once in a while :)
