I am 34 with a wife and 3 kids. I love them very much. I have been married 12 years this week. Here recently I have been feeling the need to develop some relationship with people outside my family and work. I just want some place I can be me outside all the pressures of work and family. I have a good live, no money issues, work issues, or family issues. I just feel like I need a change of some sort in my life. Does anyone else feel like this? I travel a few times a year and it is a good feeling to be out away from all the people who know so much about me. During those times I can interact with people with none of the restraints of who I am in my "real life".

I used to have the "Cheers" life when I was younger. Now I'm 43 with 2 kids (that I love dearly) and a fiance (ditto) but I still miss that love. My sisters and I were the "Queens if the Silver Dollar". We got the big greating when we entered our favorite club. Then we got older and slowed down, so the three of us rarely go out anymore. I love my job because I get to travel all over the US and it gives me a little break. I agree with you, it's great to be on a business trip and not have to be yourself. I don't have to be the stuffy old mom, I can be anyone I want to be. I can hang out with adults and have interesting and stimulating conversations. I'd never cheat on my fiance but a little harmless flirting never hurt anyone. My suggestions to you is this. Enjoy your family as long as you can. They grow up so fast and then you'll really be lonely. Make those bonds with your wife and children so you'll always feel welcome in each others lives. When you can get away, live it up and take it all in. I've only had a few people in my life that I can call a real true friend. But I have thousands of good acquaintances.

hmmmmmmmm
to have a nice group of friends, yeah I would like that very much, I often wonder why I don't have that. I'm nice and am a very good friend to the folks who are my friends.
Like the ones on TV, no thanks, they are spoiled and never discuss anything important.
Why run from who you are in "real life". I bet some people like and even love you exactly for who you really are. Those are the true friends. Ones who can't get enough of you.

You could take up a hobby or sport, like Rock Climbing (How I met my wife)
Another option is a game store. A lot of specialty game stores have "Game nights" where people come in and play. This isn't limited to Dungeons and Dragons type games either, but board games like Monopoly (Although generally more fun that most Parker Brothers Games)

Mid life crisis. Get a sports car and a hot young girlfriend that you can take to cheers and introduce her as your niece!

Join a club like the moose where you can bring your wife and kids or the elks or some place like that.
