Hi, I haven’t posted here before, but I’ve scanning the forums from time to time. Im 28 years old, my wife and I just bought our first house back in Oct 2013, we have a 21 month old, and twins coming at the end of July.
The reason I decided to finally post was because I have found that with all the things currently going on in my life my wife and I have no time for friends, but we’ve noticed we’re perfectly happy without them. Between trips to the grocery store, ultrasound appointments, playgrounds, concerts, hiking and other outdoor activities, as well as maintaining our house (yard work etc..), we’ve been happy not dealing with the drama of our “friends”. We’ve known these “friends” since high school and none of them are doing what we’re doing, in fact, they all still live at home with mom and dad. So basically it’s hard to relate with them. It seems easier for us to all just move on with our own lives.
My ultimate question is: Is this normal to live life to ourselves like we do? We are not antisocial and do like people. We’re also not opposed to meeting people and possibly becoming friends. Its just that we value our time which is already limited. We occupy ourselves with reading movies and our kids we love cooking our own food. I guess what I’m looking for is some reassurance that there are other people out there like us. Thank you!
