We have lots of lovely friends - but I feel desperately lonely. The reason being that rarely do they instigate spending time with me or us as a couple. There's six couples - three of which regularly holiday together and the other two frequently have dinner together. We are kind of the odd ones out - because my husband has less in common with the other men and my children are opposite in gender - although not age to some of the others - so it's less easy in terms of play for the children. This is all fine as we are included at other get togethers etc but I feel sad that we aren't included in either small group? I am grateful for what I have but have always had this feeling in my life of being on the outside looking in - I feel I have to make all the effort to be part of this group otherwise I don't hear anything for weeks. However I would consider myself a good friend, and we are nice people? Perhaps I just need to be grateful for what I've got and shelve these feelings.
