Maybe he's my best friend?

Over the years I've had barely any contact with old friends, probably due to having kids/different lives etc. I always kept in touch with one best friend who lives half an hour away, she has no children, the past year I've felt we have drifted massively and she hasn't been there for me in times I'd of needed a friend.

We always try to arrange to meet but it never ends up happening, I messaged her tonight asking if she'd like to go on a night out next weekend, a rare one for me as I have dc but thought maybe she would rather that then meet in town with kids in tow. She said she would of but she wants to watch the boxing at 5am. I feel like I've had enough now and that I've almost gone off her, it may be because I have dc and she doesn't and we've changed over time, I'm forever trying to meet but it never happens. Aibu to jus not bother with her again?

I'm sat fed up thinking I've got no friends whatsoever and maybe I need to realise everything my dp does for me/how we are together and that he's my best friend, sad I know.

My DP is my best friend. Whenever life gets me down I feel grateful for him and my DC - our little family. To me they are home. my escape.

I do have other friends but not loads!

Perhaps stop making the effort. She might even step up!

How old are your DC? I've recently been busy meeting with mums with similar aged children (and I'm an introvert!). Maybe get talking to a mum, it helps if your DC are getting on as it strikes up conversation, and arrange a park date?
