i don't really think it is just this but i can't help thinking it's a big part of it. I'm not sure really but i sort of feel that me being a single person is making me less appealing/attractive/important/can't think of the word as a friend. i don't know any other LPs. infact i know very few single people at all. my best friend since college isn't really what you would call a BF anymore. she socialises with her DH. i invited her for coffee last week and her DH came along, not that i don't like him. i do, i get on with him but he isn't my BF and i can't talk to him the way i talk to her. i haven't seen her by herself for months and it was only because i dropped in one saturday while he was at work. she never ever contacts me or visits me at home. i understand she values her time with her DH and he is far more important than just a friend. i don't know. is it me? i feel the same about any 'friendships' i have. not that they are friendships. just people i know that i have met once or twice for coffee. contact never seems to be maintained. i saw a girl yesterday that i had been meeting up with evry month or so until august. she has ignored my texts since august and then when she saw me yesterday she just said, she couldn't cope with softplay anymore (that's where we were meeting) but i mean she could have replied to me and told me that, rather than jsut ignore me. what's wrong with me? why can't i keep friendships going? they all seem so fragile. is it because people don't want the spare part single person around or what? when i was woth Exp we used to get invited to my Best friend's all teh time but i haven't been invited once simce he left.

There is a very good single parent support group at loneparents where you can post and have a rela-time chat.
It has seen me through some difficult times and I can't recommend it enough
