How many friends do you have? Am having an existential crisis

[Boredatlunchtime]

Just out of curiosity really. I've had some awful years with my husband walking out and my mental health going to shit. I know I haven't been a good friend and have leaned on my friends too much. Lots of friendships have fallen by the wayside.
I have some friends from school - 3 of them
2 friends from uni
A cousin and a sibling who I guess are my friends
An ex-work colleague who I message sometimes

And that is it! I don't really have an mum-friends. I have acquaintances, wouldn't meet up outside of a playdate.

My husband was my best friend but he has a new partner now.

Is this normal? How many friends would a typical 43 year old have?

I've just turned 65. I'd say I've got about 50 friends - good friends. Some from school, some from wild boozy teens/20s, former neighbours, school mums from DD's primary (she's 21now), lots from having an autistic child. And I'm very good friends with my many cousins and nieces/nephews and in-laws. I find making friends easy and I enjoy it but I also find it easy to put in the effort to remember birthdays etc

I did struggle for years to find a group of people or a good friend a specially since my kinds started being more independent. I have one girlfriend but 12 years younger than me since she had baby 7 months ago we don't see each other we also at the different stages of life. I like hiking and was looking for groups of people to join in. I find nice group on meetup in my area. Since then I have meet so many interesting people and I keep in touch with many. I also join them for meet ups in pubs, gigs, festivals.

4! Two through work and 2 through the school run

Why are you asking if it's normal, OP?

We all have different wants and needs from social interaction. Some people have one close friend and are very happy with that. Others need a large circle of people around them to feel secure in the world.

It really doesn't matter what's normal - there is no normal.

What matters is if you have what you need.

Just the one. We met in college and shared a house for several years. We now live 2 mins walk from each other and work in the same place as well.

TBH though I'm a complete introvert so one friend is all I can handle!

This!
