I had lots of friends up until a few years ago. Ex controlled my friendships and then after I had DC and finally left him, it seems it became just too late to rekindle. Some of this I think is because none of my old friends have DC yet so we are in different places in life (i.e. They go out lots to pubs, gigs, festivals, stay up late etc)
I have tried hard at baby groups and with a few mums from my building but they have petered out either because they just stopped responding to me or i realised we are far too incompatible (for example, one woman became quite intimidating and i strongly suspect she stole from me)
I don't think having children is enough to make you friends is it? But since my ex i just cant seem to make any friends. All my friends except maybe 4 have been male in the past and I find myself fantasizing that I have some close female friends for once. I don't know if i am doing something to annoy people or something after we meet?
sorry for the long, convoluted post. I don know where to meet people. I don't get out much, no social hobbies, tried baby clubs, Facebook local mum group etc
I'm getting married in 2016 and i havnt written down ONE friends name on the draft guest list, let alone bridesmaids :(
