Jbroken, Helies summed it up pretty well. I feel your pain, right through the screen! I am an introvert by nature, so it has been hard for me to get out of the house and GAL. Although I do have a life with friends, (sisters I am very close to, and two very close friends) they also have busy lives and sometimes its hard to connect. This is actually one of my H's complaints- I'm not "fun". I am fun, just not in the manner he would like me to be. I have always been told I am an "old soul" and while I am by no means "boring", I just have fun in different ways than people my age. I don't really have to worry too much about the common friends thing, although we have a lot of aquaintances together, and its somewhat of a smaller town, and his sister is marrying my sister and brother in law's best friend, so if things Don't work out, it's going to be forever awkward
I wish for you whatever you want to have happen. the last week has been the worst time of my life thus far, the most painful. Keep your head up and a smile on your face.
