Do you have a "best friend"
And I dont me your OH. Who is of course mine.
I used to have one BEST friend and a few really really good friends when I was lived in South Africa. Now however I dont. I only have 3 "real" friends, 2 of which I hardly see and the other is BIL's GF so I cant really confide in her much and aside from that she has her own friends.
So I just have my online friends.
I really miss going out with my BFF and talking shit and going shopping and getting drunk and just knowing that when / if I was feeling low or just want to go out she would always be there for me.
Sorry girls this is really a pointless post and all stemed from seeing my old friends photos on FB and realising that they still all hang out together as a group. And I am stuck here like Billy no mates.
*Pitty party for one please*

Could you join a group or something to meet new people? Maybe you'll find someone you really click with? Hugs and don't let it get you down, at least there are loads of nice people on here xx
Is there any chance of meeting up with your old BF? or getting her on msn so you can chat and keep in contact?
keep your chin up, I bet they miss you too xx
One I have known since primary school, when I was 10, she was 11, but we were in the same classroom. The other I have known since about 2005, we work together (when she's not on maternity leave!). xx
Oh God snap out of it Cooper!!
Call me greedy but I need real life face to face kind of stuff.
I used to have a really good friend who I thought I could rely on but she completely stabbed me in the back 4 days before my wedding and we haven't spoken since.
I always feel like a complete loner, I only really have 4 real friends other than my best friend and 2 of them are OH's friends wives so make me feel like they are borrowed friends and one of them lives in Edinburgh and I am moving to Nottingham soon so will be 300 miles away from her.
I think thats why I went on YAYW so much and now on here because its nice having people to talk to who know what you are going through.
ive found ive made some good friends since having the boys, my best bf is from SA and i know her through the children and she says she has made good friends since having kids.
xxDBxx
Everyone i work with are alot older than me so we dont really 'hang out' outside of work.
then for about 4 years or so i only had friends, no one i would confide in. i then became very good friends with two people but left them behind to live with hubby 120 miles away, i am still in touch but its not the same. i am "friends" with hubbys friends WAGs but in 3 years have never really clicked with any of them, we do go out and stuff but noone i would pop round for a cuppa with,
recently i have become close to a girl from work we just clicked instantly, but after a nasty breakup is moving back home acrross the channel, i dont blame her but i am upset that she isnt staying
so overall my "best" friends either crap on me of leave me, (
we should have a meet from here sometime, maybe that would help some proper friendships blossom!
I know exactly what you mean! I used to have a BF, one from school and we did everything together but I moved overseas and we drifted apart. I think now that she obviously didn't want to save the relationship as I put lots of effort in to begin with!
So like you I have a couple of great friends who live overseas and although we email/talk occasionally, it's not the same, although I am able to confide in one of them.
I have a good friend here, a girl who I've known for 20 years, we used to work together and always kept in touch but I don't feel comfortable in confiding with her. Plus she's at a totally different place in her life right now, single, 38 with PCOS and having to face life with no children. Still I enjoy her company and we often go out with for drinks, pics, etc., thankfully as she's probably the only real friend I can see face to face! Like Piggypops I have DH's friends WAG's but it's not the same.
So you are not alone Cooper7, I often feel like Billy No Mates. I think there's a lot of us that craves a BF, I know that I would love to be able to share everything with that special person. Where do you live? I doubt we're close enough but I'd love to be your BF!
Men are so different, my DH hardly spoke to his mates when we lived away but just picked up where he left off when we returned home 3 years later!!
Great subject, nice to know that we are not alone after all xx
I think girls are different to men.
I'm due to move soon and are comcerned i'll have no friends thankfully it'll only be an hour away and i can visit easily but doubt it will feel the same, and i worry what new people i meet will think of me.
stuckinlimbo, i'm only round the corner if you fancy a kiddie break coffee, chat, or an ikea shop and hotdog lol
Aside from these girls I met loads of potential friends when I had my first baby so I'm sure once you are pregnant you will start to make friends locally - it's a great ice breaker!!
she was at our 1 night and had gotten drunk,dragged me to the bathroom with her and spent 30 Min's apologising about how she treated me when we were younger,how she appreciates it now but back then didnt and that she felt sorry for what she had done,i dont hold a grudge she was just rebelling after losing her mum i would have prob been the same...........so she is a really good friend but maybe not now my best
as for my other so called friend,i have her to thank that i met Scott but since i have had Lennon and cant go out like we used to we have been forgotten,she was friends with Scott as well and i get a txt about every few months,they never come to mine we have to drag Lennon and all his stuff up to hers or her mums,we dont drive
all in all i feel a bit let down by my so called friends since i had Lennon as i said on my FB im more likely to get a reply from ladies on here who i have and get on really well with then get a reply for some1 in the real world
i could prob go on lol but i'l stop moaning for now hehe xx
