I have some. And even a few that are good friends. But there's no question that my friendships have changed signficantly since 1)becoming an adult 2) getting married and 3) having kids. Each one of those events basically whittled down my friendship pool while also lowering my expectations as to what a "friend" really was.

Of course, a significant other is like an incredibly intense friendship, with sex!, so maybe that just made other types of friendships obsolete. But it's not *really* the same. You need close friends that you don't have sex with, I guess.

Anyway, how about you guys? What kind of friendships do you have now? And how do they stack up with the friendships that you had at earlier points in your life?

Texas is kind of rough, but I wonder if it's because you live in the suburbs now or something. I feel like friendship is harder in the more spread out residential neighborhoods.

Online friends seem like a good idea, and like a thing that could happen, but I've never really made any. At best, I've had online acquaintances with whom I am friendly.

Yeah unfortunately, 45~ minutes from the nearest major city. There's a downtown area but it's meh. Plenty of activities to do but just haven't gotten involved with any since I started work.

A good friend is someone you can ask to help you move house, but then, just like you, they are like gently caress that sucks rear end, sorry Im busy, but they still come over and get drunk and watch films with you, and you at theirs.

I actually had a good friend, and family, help me move last time, so...
