I can relate. I have trouble making new friends, too. But, making friends is all about being interested in other people. If you can get another person to start talking about themself and take a real interest in what they say, you'll make a friend. I learned this one day while standing in line checking out of a store. I saw two men just start talking to each other about their families. Each asked the other questions about the kids, shared experiences, and had a great time. It was like a light bulb going on over my head.
You'll find friends if you circulate. Attend church. Join a library group. Talk to your neighbors. Make some cookies and take them next door. Heck, I'd be your friend for life for a cookie! Give it a shot. You'll do fine. Before you know it, you'll be glad you live 5 hours away from family.

Well, for starters, you definately need friends outside your marriage. I would try really hard to find someone that you enjoy talking to close by. Also, try and save a little money to return home to your friends every month or two. 5 hours is not that far away although it may seem like it now.

Get a gym membership, its fairly reasonable and will get you out of the house and moving. I also have a friend that takes a jewelry making class which she loves.
