Adult friendships

[Juniper]

We have friends we do stuff with, like our camping trip last weekend, and we also get together and play cards, etc. Not as many as we used to have; some of this is due to simple busy-ness, some to moving farther apart, sometimes marriages to spouses who wished to "re-direct" their social lives. My hubby had a HUGE circle of friends when we met and they're all still friends, but see each other much less. His best friend from HS, who was like a brother to him, now lives 500 miles away and we see him maybe once a year.

All of our friends now are my hubby's friends. Yes, I consider them my friends too, but he is the one they usually call about plans, mostly the guys, and just cll him to chat. I get along great with the wives and we can talk for hours when we get together, but it never occurs to me to call them myself just to chat or maybe have lunch. We don't have time.
