like they don't have a best friend (other than FH/DH)? I feel like all my close friends have their own best friends, but I don't. Even my FH has guy best friends (like 4). It just hurts so much and makes me feel alone.

Re: Does anyone feel
I am sorry you feel that way.
I have had best friends over the years and they no longer are. Due to personal/professional reasons, we all left to different parts of the country. It's hard maintaining relationship that way. They are still friends but not as close.
My MOH has been my best friend for several years. We get along so well. She is the best. But she is talking about moving out of LI because of the house prices. I am devastated and I am brassing myself everyday for when she is going to tell me she is leaving.
Are you involved in sporting or other activities? I have found it's a good way to meet people.

I am in grad school and it's hard to meet people, since they tend to be antisocial.

Re: Does anyone feel
But I'm also afraid that whatever new friends I make, they will already have their own best friends and I'll just be another friend.

Oh, I hope you don't feel that way. Who knows which new friend may turn out as your best friends? Be happy that you have friends even if they have other friends.

Re: Does anyone feel
It's hard though, weddings are designed to count how many people you have in your life. Your bp, your guest list, etc. It just makes me feel alone and I can't wait for it to be over.

Re: Does anyone feel
i feel the same way sometimes.... i have a group of good girlfriends that i do girls nights and stuff with, but none i would consider my 'best' friend... i had a best friend is HS and college, but it was one of those things where weddings show you who your true friends are, and we don't talk anymore.... i also have a best friend from 3rd grade, but she lives out in PA now, and shes super religious so i feel like we don't have a ton in common anymore. i still talk to her, but shes not one i feel like i can tell EVERYTHING to.

Re: Does anyone feel
I know it is hard especilly when you are in grad school and away from home. I dont know anyone in MD. It is especially hard when I am doing wedding stuff and I have no one to share it with.
Cheer up...and give your FH a hug...it will make you feel better.

Re: Does anyone feel
Same here. I lived in NC when I went to school, all my good friends are there. Everytime I get a close friend, they end up moving. Maybe I smell?????

Re: Does anyone feel
I know exactly how you feel. I have two MOH's one is newly married and caught up in her world and the other all of a sudden was too busy to talk to me. I actually haven't talked to her in like 2 months and I am getting married in 41 days. The other I have known forever and I love her but I feel like if I vent to her or tell her things that I am burdining (spell check) her with my problems and my scares with the wedding. I made my wedding list and noticed that I can say honestly that only two people are my friends the rest is family and my parents friends. I felt so down and sad about that. Now I just try to think about my FH and all the new things that we are about to embark on and that's what keeps me going. Of course now that it's getting closer I just might start comming on here more often and venting and asking all of you for help. Especially since I have no limo, no officiant, no tuxes, no cake, no DJ, and well you get the point... Ok I am going to shut up now I think I have yapped enough.... Just remember that sometimes the people you don't consider are your bestfriends may consider you theirs....

Re: Does anyone feel
YES!
i do have one friend I consider my best friend - I know how you feel - my FH has very close girlsfriends, and I feel I'm inviting them the the bachelorette party because I dont have a load of close friends of my own - just one -
I am glad you posted this - I always felt weird and thought I was the only one who felt this way!!!

Re: Does anyone feel
I absolutely feel the same way... All of my friends from high school and whatnot have moved off of LI and are already married and some with kids. It is hard when you get older I think because you have more responsibilities to deal with.
But it is really lonely sometimes.

Re: Does anyone feel
I feel exactly the same-- I just sent my sister the list for my bachelorette party and its really lame. Most of the people are relatives.... I guess people just disappoint me a lot

Re: Does anyone feel
Well this is a topic I can relate to.
I moved to LI from queens and I don't really know anyone out here. I have 2 children, my husband works 7 days a week. I only have my kids. My cousin which is my closet friend moved to Atl, the other my friend from HS moved to Virginia and the other frend moved to Ohio. No one is here and the one that is from College, lives in Queens and I don't have enough time in my life to drive to Queens that often.
I try o make freinds at work being that they live on LI but I don't like life on LI, I had more places to be and more people to see when I lived in Queens. Also no one wants to coem to far (Mastic) to visit with me, they feel its an all day trip. So I know exactly what you are feeling.
I see on here that a lot of people have become friend sfrom being on here but I thought being on here I woudl too and even that hasn't happened. But I don't let that get me down.
