I often watch my husband and others our age make friends effortlessly, but I can't seem to make any friends. No one makes the effort to call me up to see how I'm doing but I see my husband's friends call him all the time just to say hi, to go out, or whatever. Sure we have friends that he calls "our" friends, but they never bother calling me, only him.
I admit I'm a bit jealous, but I don't know what to do. I sit here watching him talk on the phone, email, and run out the door to meet friends, and I just sit here staring at my phone hoping someone would call.
I've even made a serious effort to call others and visit them, but the moment I decide not to be the one doing all the contacting, the "friendship" is over. They never call back, they never email me, they never visit me.
I've had this problem since I was in college, now I'm 32 and still having the same problem. I'm really at a loss and am terribly lonely watching my hubby walk out the door to hang with his friends.
