I always thought having couple friends would be easy (you know, you get them by default because your kids are friends), I was wrong. LOL But, yeah, my parents had a couple of friends and we’d stay at their house and hang out on the weekends. That just seemed so normal. I hope you can get yourself some more couple friends too ~ so important.

We only have one set and I wish we had more. Growing up, my parents had TONS and I loved watching their relationships. Their best friends had a daughter my age and our two families even traveled together for four summers in a row. I’m working on cultivating us more friends. I have a few friends with hubbies or SO’s, but my hubby is shy and it takes a lot for him to warm up to new people. I hope your set works out!

Lua, oddly, I don’t find it odd that you don’t know a lot about your girlfriend’s husbands. If you’re anything like us, most of my husband’s friends are single or they’re serial daters ~ I end up liking the girlfriend and then they break up. And my friends are also single or recently divorced, so the couple friendships fall apart. It’s definitely not an easy thing but, man, it’d be nice.

Oh… the memories… my hubby and I lost our “couple friends” about 13 years ago. We were in their wedding, would hang out almost every weekend, and always had a great time together. Being around them made me want to be a better person myself. But, soon after they got married, she got pregnant. And another “weren’t-even-invited-to-the-wedding” couple soon took our place. They were bad influences on our old friends, and soon, I didn’t even recognize them anymore. Yup, they introduced our innocent, happily married, clean-living, non-cursing friends to the lovely world of… well… let’s just say – poor behavior. But, they both happened to be new “parents” and that was enough. Well, fast forward to today, and they’ve since moved to a big bible-thumping state… and have resumed a newfound joy of clean-living. But, when they’re back in town, they still pass up our company for the other couple, which is sad, but I deal with it. But, it’d be great to have that couple connection again. Sigh.

My husband and I don’t have ‘couple friends’. We used to but they weren’t married and they eventually broke up and thus, so did the friendship. It would be nice, I think to have another married couple as friends. People to hang out with and go on double-dates…hmmm, who knows! Friends I had prior to being married, I don’t really know much about their husbands or they mine…is that odd? LOL
